The following table shares brief descriptions for the vulnerabilities addressed in this document.
| Vulnerability ID | Vulnerability Description |
|---|---|
| Vulnerable Javascript library |
You are using a vulnerable Javascript library. One or more vulnerabilities were reported for this version of the Javascript library. Consult Attack details and Web References for more information about the affected library and the vulnerabilities that were reported. Affected items: /gui/static/templates/lib.js Details: Detected Javascript library jquery version 2.1.4 from file content. Affected items: /gui/static/templates/lib.js |
| Clickjacking: X-Frame-Options header missing |
Clickjacking (User Interface redress attack, UI redress attack, UI redressing) is a malicious technique of tricking a Web user into clicking on something different from what the user perceives they are clicking on, thus potentially revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages. The server didn't return an X-Frame-Options header which means that this website could be at risk of a clickjacking attack. The X-Frame-Options HTTP response header can be used to indicate whether or not a browser should be allowed to render a page inside a frame or iframe. Sites can use this to avoid clickjacking attacks, by ensuring that their content is not embedded into other sites. Affected items: / |
| Email address found |
One or more email addresses have been found on this page. The majority of spam comes from email addresses harvested off the internet. The spam-bots (also known as email harvesters and email extractors) are programs that scour the internet looking for email addresses on any website they come across. Spambot programs look for strings like myname@mydomain.com and then record any addresses found. Affected items: /gui/static/templates/app/shared/login/management.html |
