Disable Web Server HTTP Trace/Track Method Support Cross-Site Tracing Vulnerability

[CommunityUser]

Hi

We are gearing up to be audited for PCI. How can I achieve the above result so that we can get a clean scan on our servers?

Here is more info:

TCP Port 9091

[root@01 ~]# netstat -putan | egrep "9091"
tcp        0      0 :::9091                     :::*                        LISTEN      2318/java

[root@01 ~]# ps aux | grep 2318
root       555  0.0  0.0 103320   844 pts/0    R+   14:42   0:00 grep 2318
root      2318  0.1  4.1 7854504 336264 ?      Sl   Feb10 151:56 /opt/appdynamics/machine-agent/jre/bin/java -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/opt/appdynamics/machine-agent/conf/logging/log4j.xml -jar /opt/appdynamics/machine-agent/machineagent.jar

[root@01 ~]# /opt/appdynamics/machine-agent/jre/bin/java -version
java version "1.8.0_74"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_74-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.74-b02, mixed mode)

Thanks

Hi Kobus,

Is this vulenaribility discovered on an AppDynamics Contoller endpoint? If so could you please share the endpoint URL?

Machine Agent is not a web server, so I do not see the connection.

Hi

Thank you fo rthe reply.

In answer:

Well it is on one, and only one of our servers. It is not on an endpoint, just a normal server with the client installed.

So yes, I dont understand that either. I might just reinstall the client and see what happens.

Hi Kobus,

Machine agent runs as a standalone java program. If there is any other
webserver installed on the same server as machine agent you might want to
check that web server.

Well, there is, but the other webservers does not have this port 9091 open. Just this one process as I listed in my original post.

It would give a better idea how the vulnearibility scanner detects this vulnerability on 9091. It should be calling some end point otherwise I do not see an issue of XSS.
