Pulse Secure - Local File Inclusion (CVE-2019-11510)

Pulse Secure is affected by a Local File Inclusion vulnerability. The root cause is a functionality in the new "HTML5 Access" feature that uses insufficient path validation, allowing an attacker to bypass authentication and access files. This can allow unauthenticated remote attackers to fetch Microsoft Access Database files from the target systems and extract user credentials, private keys and session cookies from those files.

Sniper can read arbitrary files from the target system and extract them as evidence.

The risk exists that a remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability and extract administrator user credentials, bruteforce the administrator password and then proceed to compromise the system.

Upgrade the Pulse Secure server to a version greater than 9.0R3.4.
