Nexpose and InsightVM virtual appliances downloaded between April 5th, 2017 and May 3rd, 2017 contain identical SSH host keys. Normally, a unique SSH host key should be generated the first time a virtual appliance boots.
Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightVM versions prior to 6.6.172 failed to reliably validate the authenticity of update contents. This failure could allow an attacker to provide a malicious update and alter the functionality of Rapid7 Nexpose. The attacker would need some pre-existing mechanism to provide a malicious update, either through a social engineering effort, privileged access to replace downloaded updates in transit, or by performing an Attacker-in-the-Middle attack on the update service itself.
Rapid7 InsightVM suffers from an information exposure issue whereby, when the user's session has ended due to inactivity, an attacker can use the Inspect Element browser feature to remove the login panel and view the details available in the last webpage visited by previous user
Due to a bug in the handling of the communication between the client and server, it was possible for one client, already registered with their own client ID, to send messages to the server claiming to come from another client ID. This issue was resolved in Velociraptor 0.6.5-2.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in generating a collection report made it possible for malicious clients to inject JavaScript code into the static HTML file. This issue was resolved in Velociraptor 0.6.5-2.
On MacOS and Linux, it may be possible to perform a symlink attack by replacing this predictable file name with a symlink to another file and have the Velociraptor client overwrite the other file. This issue was resolved in Velociraptor 0.6.5-2.
The Velociraptor GUI contains an editor suggestion feature that can display the description field of a VQL function, plugin or artifact. This field was not properly sanitized and can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS). This issue was resolved in Velociraptor 0.6.5-2.
Rapid7 Insight Agent versions 3.1.2.38 and earlier suffer from a privilege escalation vulnerability, whereby an attacker can hijack the flow of execution due to an unquoted argument to the runas.exe command used by the ir_agent.exe component, resulting in elevated rights and persistent access to the machine. This issue was fixed in Rapid7 Insight Agent version 3.1.3.80.
Rapid7 Nexpose versions 6.6.93 and earlier are susceptible to an SQL Injection vulnerability, whereby valid search operators are not defined. This lack of validation can allow a logged-in, authenticated attacker to manipulate the "ANY" and "OR" operators in the SearchCriteria and inject SQL code. This issue was fixed in Rapid7 Nexpose version 6.6.129.
Rapid7 Nexpose versions 6.6.129 and earlier suffer from a reflected cross site scripting vulnerability, within the shared scan configuration component of the tool. With this vulnerability an attacker could pass literal values as the test credentials, providing the opportunity for a potential XSS attack. This issue is fixed in Rapid7 Nexpose version 6.6.130.
