CVE Hub

In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2024.0.1, a remote unauthenticated attacker could leverage NmAPI.exe to create or change an existing registry value in registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Ipswitch\.

In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2023.1.3, a Remote Code Execution issue exists in Progress WhatsUp Gold. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to achieve the RCE as a service account through NmApi.exe.

The NMAP Importer service​ may expose data store credentials to authorized users of the Windows Registry.

TestingPlatform is a testing platform for Internet Security Standards. Prior to version 2.1.1, user input is not filtered correctly. Nmap options are accepted. In this particular case, the option to create log files is accepted in addition to a host name (and even without). A log file is created at the location specified. These files are created as root. If the file exists, the existing file is being rendered useless. This can result in denial of service. Additionally, input for scanning can be any CIDR blocks passed to nmap. An attacker can scan 0.0.0.0/0 or even local networks. Version 2.1.1 contains a patch for this issue.

The jokob-sk/Pi.Alert fork (before 22.12.20) of Pi.Alert allows Remote Code Execution via nmap_scan.php (scan parameter) OS Command Injection.

Zoho ManageEngine OpManager, OpManager Plus, OpManager MSP, Network Configuration Manager, NetFlow Analyzer, and OpUtils before 125658, 126003, 126105, and 126120 allow authenticated users to make database changes that lead to remote code execution in the NMAP feature.

Asus DSL-N14U-B1 1.1.2.3_805 allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a TCP SYN scan using nmap.

In the python-libnmap package through 0.7.2 for Python, remote command execution can occur (if used in a client application that does not validate arguments). NOTE: the vendor believes it would be unrealistic for an application to call NmapProcess with arguments taken from input data that arrived over an untrusted network, and thus the CVSS score corresponds to an unrealistic use case. None of the NmapProcess documentation implies that this is an expected use case

The Device42 Main Appliance before 17.05.01 does not sanitize user input in its Nmap Discovery utility. An attacker (with permissions to add or edit jobs run by this utility) can inject an extra argument to overwrite arbitrary files as the root user on the Remote Collector.

A vulnerability in the TCL Android Smart TV series V8-R851T02-LF1 V295 and below and V8-T658T01-LF1 V373 and below by TCL Technology Group Corporation allows an attacker on the adjacent network to arbitrarily browse and download sensitive files over an insecure web server running on port 7989 that lists all files & directories. An unprivileged remote attacker on the adjacent network, can download most system files, leading to serious critical information disclosure. Also, some TV models and/or FW versions may expose the webserver with the entire filesystem accessible on another port. For example, nmap scan for all ports run directly from the TV model U43P6046 (Android 8.0) showed port 7983 not mentioned in the original CVE description, but containing the same directory listing of the entire filesystem. This webserver is bound (at least) to localhost interface and accessible freely to all unprivileged installed apps on the Android such as a regular web browser. Any app can therefore read any files of any other apps including Android system settings including sensitive data such as saved passwords, private keys etc.

An issue was discovered in EyesOfNetwork 5.3 through 5.3-8. An authenticated web user with sufficient privileges could abuse the AutoDiscovery module to run arbitrary OS commands via the nmap_binary parameter to lilac/autodiscovery.php.

An issue was discovered in EyesOfNetwork 5.3. The sudoers configuration is prone to a privilege escalation vulnerability, allowing the apache user to run arbitrary commands as root via a crafted NSE script for nmap 7.

An issue was discovered in OpServices OpMon 9.3.2. Starting from the apache user account, it is possible to perform privilege escalation through the lack of correct configuration in the server's sudoers file, which by default allows the execution of programs (e.g. nmap) without the need for a password with sudo.

nse_libssh2.cc in Nmap 7.70 is subject to a denial of service condition due to a double free when an SSH connection fails, as demonstrated by a leading \n character to ssh-brute.nse or ssh-auth-methods.nse.

An issue was discovered in Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA) through 9.4.0.37. It has a critical information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can send properly formatted requests to the web application and download sensitive files and information. For example, the /DATAREPORTS directory can be farmed for reports. Because this directory contains the results of reports such as NMAP, Patch Status, and Active Directory domain metadata, an attacker can easily collect this critical information and parse it for information. There are a number of directories affected.

nmap4j 1.1.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in an includeHosts call.

Malicious actors can submit specially crafted requests via the NmAPI executable to (1) gain unauthorized access to the WhatsUp Gold system, (2) obtain information about the WhatsUp Gold system, or (3) execute remote commands.

nmap version 6.49BETA6 through 7.60, up to and including SVN revision 37147 contains a Directory Traversal vulnerability in NSE script http-fetch that can result in file overwrite as the user is running it. This attack appears to be exploitable via a victim that runs NSE script http-fetch against a malicious web site. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 7.7.

Novell Internet Messaging System (NIMS) 2.6 and 3.0, and NetMail 3.1 and 3.5, is installed with a default NMAP authentication credential, which allows remote attackers to read and write mail store data if the administrator does not change the credential by using the NMAP Credential Generator.
