Summary

PaperThin CommonSpot before 7.0.2 and 8.x before 8.0.3 allows remote attackers to modify the flow of execution of ColdFusion code by using an HTTP GET request to set a ColdFusion variable. Per http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/472.html "CWE-472: External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter"

NASL idCOMMONSPOT_7_0_2.NASL
descriptionAccording to its version number, the CommonSpot install hosted on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - An access restriction bypass via a direct request. (CVE-2014-2859) - Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. (CVE-2014-2860, CVE-2014-2861) - Improper authorization checks in unspecified requests can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to perform unauthorized actions. (CVE-2014-2862) - Multiple path traversal vulnerabilities allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to request full pathnames in parameters. (CVE-2014-2863) - Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities. (CVE-2014-2864) - The application fails to restrict the use of a NULL byte, which can be used to bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2014-2865) - The application uses client JavaScript code for access restrictions, which can be bypassed with attacker- controlled JavaScript. (CVE-2014-2866) - Unrestricted file uploads could allow for dangerous file types to be added to the server. (CVE-2014-2867) - Multiple pages allow a remote attacker to override ColdFusion variables via HTTP GET requests. (CVE-2014-2868) - Multiple pages allow for information disclosure. (CVE-2014-2869) - The application stores credentials in plaintext in the underlying application database by default. (CVE-2014-2870) - The application transmits credentials in cleartext via HTTP. (CVE-2014-2871) - Multiple directory listings allow for potential access to sensitive information. (CVE-2014-2872) - The application allows unauthenticated access to log files allowing for information disclosure. (CVE-2014-2873) - The application allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands with arbitrary parameters. (CVE-2014-2874) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application
