CVE-2017-14956: Alienvault Unified Security Management

Medium severity, CVSS 5.7. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

AlienVault USM v5.4.2 and earlier offers authenticated users the functionality of exporting generated reports via the "/ossim/report/wizard_email.php" script. Besides offering an export via a local download, the script also offers the possibility to send out any report via email to a given address (either in PDF or XLS format). Since there is no anti-CSRF token protecting this functionality, it is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.

Affected products

• Alienvault Unified Security Management: up to and including 5.4.2
