Descriptions

admin-cli before versions 3.0.0.alpha25, 2.2.1.cr2 is vulnerable to an EAP feature to download server log files that allows logs to be available via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired.

admin-cli, en versiones anteriores a la 3.0.0.alpha25 y 2.2.1.cr2, es vulnerable a que una característica EAP descargue archivos de registro del servidor, lo que permite que estos estén disponibles mediante peticiones GET. Esto hace que sean vulnerables a ataques de Cross-Origin. Un atacante podría provocar que el navegador del usuario solicite los archivos de registro, consumiendo tantos recursos que el funcionamiento normal del servidor se vería afectado.
