According to its self-reported version, the version of Pulse Policy Secure running on the remote host is prior to 9.1R8.2. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  • A vulnerability in the Pulse Connect Secure < 9.1R8.2 admin web interface could allow an authenticated attacker to upload custom template to perform an arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2020-8243)

  • A vulnerability in the authenticated user web interface of Pulse Connect Secure and Pulse Policy Secure < 9.1R8.2 could allow attackers to conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). (CVE-2020-8238)

  • A vulnerability in the Pulse Connect Secure < 9.1R8.2 admin web interface could allow an authenticated attacker to gain arbitrary file reading access through Pulse Collaboration via XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability. (CVE-2020-8256)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
