Last updated: 08 Mar 2025, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with netsweeper. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total netsweeper CVEs: 16
Earliest CVE date: 09 Jul 2012, 18:55 UTC
Latest CVE date: 19 May 2020, 20:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2020-13167
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 0
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 0.0%
Average CVSS: 6.32
Max CVSS: 10.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 2
| Range | Count |
|---|---|
| 0.0-3.9 | 0 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 11 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 6 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 2 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for netsweeper, sorted by severity first and recency.
Netsweeper through 6.4.3 allows unauthenticated remote code execution because webadmin/tools/unixlogin.php (with certain Referer headers) launches a command line with client-supplied parameters, and allows injection of shell metacharacters.
Open redirect vulnerability in remotereporter/load_logfiles.php in Netsweeper before 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the url parameter.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Netsweeper 4.0.4 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url parameter to webadmin/deny/index.php.
The Web Panel in Netsweeper before 4.0.5 has a default password of branding for the branding account, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a request to webadmin/.
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Netsweeper before 2.6.29.10 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) login parameter to webadmin/auth/verification.php or (2) dpid parameter to webadmin/deny/index.php.
SQL injection vulnerability in remotereporter/load_logfiles.php in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the server parameter.
Directory traversal vulnerability in webadmin/reporter/view_server_log.php in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to list directory contents via a .. (dot dot) in the log parameter in a stats action.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in webadmin/policy/group_table_ajax.php/ in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in remotereporter/load_logfiles.php in Netsweeper 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url parameter.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) server parameter to remotereporter/load_logfiles.php, (2) customctid parameter to webadmin/policy/category_table_ajax.php, (3) urllist parameter to webadmin/alert/alert.php, (4) QUERY_STRING to webadmin/ajaxfilemanager/ajax_get_file_listing.php, or (5) PATH_INFO to webadmin/policy/policy_table_ajax.php/.
Unrestricted file upload vulnerability in webadmin/ajaxfilemanager/ajaxfilemanager.php in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote authenticated users with admin privileges on the Cloud Manager web console to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a file with a double extension, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in webadmin/deny/images/, as demonstrated by secuid0.php.gif.
The Client Filter Admin portal in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and subsequently create arbitrary profiles via a showdeny action to the default URL.
Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by making a request that redirects to the deny page.
Netsweeper before 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and create arbitrary accounts and policies via a request to webadmin/nslam/index.php.
Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and remove IP addresses from the quarantine via the ip parameter to webadmin/user/quarantine_disable.php.
WebUpgrade in Netsweeper before 3.1.10, 4.0.x before 4.0.9, and 4.1.x before 4.1.2 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and create a system backup tarball, restart the server, or stop the filters on the server via a ' (single quote) character in the login and password parameters to webupgrade/webupgrade.php. NOTE: this was originally reported as an SQL injection vulnerability, but this may be inaccurate.
Unspecified vulnerability in the WebAdmin Portal in Netsweeper has unknown impact and attack vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-2446 and CVE-2012-2447.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in accountmgr/adminupdate.php in the WebAdmin Portal in Netsweeper allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that create administrative accounts via an add action.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in tools/local_lookup.php in the WebAdmin Portal in Netsweeper allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the group parameter in a lookup action.
