Hi, Below I am pasting some of the information on the 3 vulnerabilities from our report. FYI, I removed the information about the server details and also trimmed the file path. This report is generated by the Tenable agent.
Severity scandate Vuln Name Description Summary Fix CVE ID CVS Base Score Plugin Output Critical 3/02/2022 Apache Log4j Unsupported Version Detection According to its self-reported version number, the installation of Apache Log4j on the remote host is no longer supported. Log4j reached its end of life prior to 2016. Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities. A logging library running on the remote host is no longer supported. Upgrade to a version of Apache Log4j that is currently supported. Upgrading to the latest versions for Apache Log4j is highly recommended as intermediate versions / patches have known high severity vulnerabilities and the vendor is updating their advisories often as new research and knowledge about the impact of Log4j is discovered. Refer to https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html for the latest versions. 10 Path : .../.m2/repository/log4j/log4j/1.2.12/log4j-1.2.12.jar Installed version : 1.2.12 Critical 3/02/2022 Apache Log4j 1.x Multiple Vulnerabilities According to its self-reported version number, the installation of Apache Log4j on the remote host is 1.x and is no longer supported. Log4j reached its end of life prior to 2016. Additionally, Log4j 1.x is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including : - Log4j includes a SocketServer that accepts serialized log events and deserializes them without verifying whether the objects are allowed or not. This can provide an attack vector that can be exploited. (CVE-2019-17571) - Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Apache Log4j SMTP appender. This could allow an SMTPS connection to be intercepted by a man-in-the-middle attack which could leak any log messages sent through that appender. (CVE-2020-9488) - JMSSink uses JNDI in an unprotected manner allowing any application using the JMSSink to be vulnerable if it is configured to reference an untrusted site or if the site referenced can be accesseed by the attacker. (CVE-2022-23302) Lack of support implies that no new security patches for the product will be released by the vendor. As a result, it is likely to contain security vulnerabilities. A logging library running on the remote host has multiple vulnerabilities. Upgrade to a version of Apache Log4j that is currently supported. Upgrading to the latest versions for Apache Log4j is highly recommended as intermediate versions / patches have known high severity vulnerabilities and the vendor is updating their advisories often as new research and knowledge about the impact of Log4j is discovered. Refer to https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html for the latest versions. CVE-2019-17571, CVE-2020-9488, CVE-2022-23302, CVE-2022-23305, CVE-2022-23307 10 Path : .../.m2/repository/log4j/log4j/1.2.12/log4j-1.2.12.jar Installed version : 1.2.12 High 3/02/2022 Apache Log4j 1.2 JMSAppender Remote Code Execution (CVE-2021-4104) The version of Apache Log4j on the remote host is 1.2. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability when specifically configured to use JMSAppender. Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. A package installed on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. Upgrade to Apache Log4j version 2.16.0 or later since 1.x is end of life. Upgrading to the latest versions for Apache Log4j is highly recommended as intermediate versions / patches have known high severity vulnerabilities and the vendor is updating their advisories often as new research and knowledge about the impact of Log4j is discovered. Refer to https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/security.html for the latest versions.
