Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the Splunk Web hosted on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- The application is affected by an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site. (CVE-2012-6447)

- The version of OpenSSL included with Splunk 5.x is affected by multiple vulnerabilities including a denial of service and a plaintext recovery attack. (CVE-2013-0166, CVE-2013-0169)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Splunk 5.0.3 or later.
