The version of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus running on the remote host is prior to 14.0 Build 14001. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:
An XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability due to a flaw in the Analytics Plus integration.
Threat actors with admin role access can retrieve local files from the server. (CVE-2022-40771)
A privilege escalation vulnerability allows an adversary to access restricted data in the Postgres database setup by using a specific PostgreSQL function in the query, which enables bypassing the validation mechanism. (CVE-2022-40772)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
