The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is 11.1.x prior to 11.1.7 Fix Pack 7 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.4 FP2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:
netplex json-smart-v2 is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by not limiting the nesting of arrays or objects. By sending a specially crafted input, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a stack exhaustion and crash the software. (CVE-2023-1370)
Express.js Express is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a prototype pollution flaw in qs. By adding or modifying properties of Object.prototype using a proto or constructor payload, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2022-24999)
IBM Cognos Analytics is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of SVG Files in Custom Visualizations. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute scripts in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials. (CVE-2023-28530)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
