NONE Summary
Dell EMC Secure Remote Services, versions prior to 3.32.00.08, contains an Information Exposure vulnerability. The log file contents store sensitive data including executed commands to generate authentication tokens which may prove useful to an attacker for crafting malicious authentication tokens for querying the application and subsequent attacks.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

| description | Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities : - A deserialization vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Apache Groovy)) due to a lack of isolation of object deserialization code. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via HTTP, to execute arbitrary code on the target host. (CVE-2016-6814) - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Apache Commons FileUpload)) due to an unspecified reason. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2016-1000031) - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Third Party Tools (Apache Batik)) due to an issue with deserialization. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via HTTP, to cause the application to stop functioning properly. (CVE-2018-8013) - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Spring Framework)) due to an issue handling range requests with a high number of ranges, wide ranges that overlap, or both. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via HTTP, to cause the application to stop responding. (CVE-2018-15765) Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application |
