Vulnerability Information


Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2013-05-15
Patch Published: 2013-05-15
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-0136
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:mutiny:standard

Synopsis

The remote host contains a network monitoring application that is affected by multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote server hosts a version of Mutiny prior to 5.0-1.11. It is, therefore, reportedly affected by multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities that could allow an authenticated attacker to upload, delete, and move files on the remote system with root privileges. The functions for UPLOAD, DELETE, CUT, and COPY used in the 'Documents' section of the web frontend of Mutiny are affected.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to version 5.0-1.11 or later.

Public Exploits


Target Network Port(s): 80
Target Asset(s): Services/www
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Mutiny < 5.0-1.11 Multiple Directory Traversals vulnerability:

  1. Metasploit: exploit/linux/http/mutiny_frontend_upload
    [Mutiny 5 Arbitrary File Upload]
  2. Metasploit: auxiliary/admin/http/mutiny_frontend_read_delete
    [Mutiny 5 Arbitrary File Read and Delete]
  3. Exploit-DB: exploits/linux/remote/25517.rb
    [EDB-25517: Mutiny 5 - Arbitrary File Upload (Metasploit)]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.
