|
Acertains if we can use the remote web proxy against any port Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The proxy permits the users to perform CONNECT requests like CONNECT http://cvs.nessus.org:23 This request give to the person who make it the ability to have an interactive session. This problem may permit attackers to go through your firewall, by connecting to sensitive ports like 23 (telnet) using your proxy, or it can permit internal users to bypass the firewall rules and connect to ports they should not be permited to.
