Descriptions

In WhatsUp Gold versions released before 2023.1.3, an unauthenticated Denial of Service

vulnerability was identified. An unauthenticated attacker can put the application into the SetAdminPassword installation step, which renders the application non-accessible.

En las versiones de WhatsUp Gold lanzadas antes de 2023.1.3, se identificó una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio no autenticada. Un atacante no autenticado puede colocar la aplicación en el paso de instalación SetAdminPassword, lo que hace que la aplicación no sea accesible.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations of Progress Software WhatsUp Gold. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the InstallController class. The issue results from the lack of validating the current installation step. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system.
