Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The 'EBJInvokerServlet' and 'JMXInvokerServlet' servlets hosted on the web server on the remote host are accessible to unauthenticated users. The remote host is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to improper restriction of access to the console and web management interfaces. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via direct requests, to bypass authentication and gain administrative access. (CVE-2007-1036)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists due to the JMXInvokerHAServlet and EJBInvokerHAServlet invoker servlets not properly restricting access to profiles. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and invoke MBean methods, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-0874)

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the EJBInvokerServlet and JMXInvokerServlet servlets due to the ability to post a marshalled object. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to install arbitrary applications. Note that this issue is known to affect McAfee Web Reporter versions prior to or equal to version 5.2.1 as well as Symantec Workspace Streaming version 7.5.0.493 and possibly earlier. (CVE-2013-4810)

Solution

If using EMC Data Protection Advisor, either upgrade to version 6.x or apply the workaround for 5.x.

Otherwise, contact the vendor or remove any affected JBoss servlets.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Apache Tomcat / JBoss EJBInvokerServlet / JMXInvokerServlet Multiple Vulnerabilities as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select CGI abuses plugin family.
On the right side table select Apache Tomcat / JBoss EJBInvokerServlet / JMXInvokerServlet Multiple Vulnerabilities plugin ID 70414.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl jmxinvokerservlet_ejbinvokerservlet_rce.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a jmxinvokerservlet_ejbinvokerservlet_rce.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - jmxinvokerservlet_ejbinvokerservlet_rce.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state jmxinvokerservlet_ejbinvokerservlet_rce.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
