This is a security advisory regarding an authentication bypass vulnerability in a few application URLs in ServiceDesk Plus, which has been identified and rectified.
On-premises users of ServiceDesk Plus (all editions) with versions 11305 and below are affected by this vulnerability and are advised to update to the latest version immediately.
Severity: Critical
This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application's data through a few of its application URLs. To do so, an attacker has to manipulate any vulnerable application URL path from the assets module with a proper character set replacement.
This URL can bypass the authentication process and fetch the required data for the attacker, allowing the attacker to gain unauthorized access to user data or carry out subsequent attacks.
The improper security configuration process used in ServiceDesk Plus led to the vulnerability.
This vulnerability affects ServiceDesk Plus (on-premises) customers of all editions using versions 11305 and below.
The vulnerability has been addressed by fixing the security configuration process in the latest version of ServiceDesk Plus.

This is a security advisory regarding a possible authentication bypass vulnerability in a few REST API URLs in ServiceDesk Plus, which has been identified and rectified. On-premises users of ServiceDesk Plus (all editions) with version 11005 and above might be affected by this vulnerability and are advised to update to the latest version (11302) immediately.
Severity: Critical
This vulnerability allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the application's data through its API support. This would allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to user data or aid subsequent attacks.
To do so, an attacker has to manipulate any vulnerable API URL path from the requests or assets module with a proper character set replacement. This URL can bypass the authentication process and fetch the required data for the attacker.
The security framework layer used in ServiceDesk Plus had an improper URL validation process that led to the vulnerability.
This vulnerability affects ServiceDesk Plus (on-premises) customers of all editions using versions 11005 and above.

This is a security advisory regarding possible Integer/Heap Overflow - Remote Code Execution (RCE) and Remote Denial of Service vulnerabilities in ServiceDesk Plus, which have been identified and rectified. On-premises users of ServiceDesk Plus (Professional and Enterprise editions) with versions up to 11207 and using the ServiceDesk Plus asset scanning agents might be affected by the vulnerabilities and are advised to update to the latest version (11300) immediately.
Severity: High
The Integer/Heap Overflow - RCE vulnerability allows an attacker to send a new scan request to a listening agent on the network and also receive the agent's HTTP request verifying its authtoken. The agent reaching out over HTTP makes it vulnerable to an integer overflow, which can be turned into a heap overflow if the POST payload response is too large. This allows for RCE as NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM on the agent machine.
The Remote Denial of Service vulnerability might be exploited to repetitively send commands to the ServiceDesk Plus agent, which listens on port 9000 for incoming commands over HTTPS from the ManageEngine server. While these commands may not be executed, the ServiceDesk Plus agent reaches out to the ManageEngine server for an HTTP request, which results in a memory leak. These memory leaks allow a remote attacker to send commands to the agent repetitively and eventually crash the agent due to an out-of-memory condition.
The Integer/Heap Overflow - RCE vulnerability was caused by the ServiceDesk Plus asset scan agent not validating HTTPS certificates, which allows an attacker on the network to statically configure their IP address to match the ServiceDesk Plus server's IP address.
The Remote Denial of Service vulnerability was caused by HTTPS certificates not being verified, which allows any arbitrary user on the network to send commands over port 9000.
These vulnerabilities affect customers of the Professional and Enterprise editions of ServiceDesk Plus (on-premises) using versions up to 11207 and using the product's asset scanning agents.
Both vulnerabilities have been addressed in ServiceDesk Plus 11300 by adopting the unified agent from Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) for asset discovery. The existing asset scanning agents have been replaced with these unified agents for scanning Windows, Linux, and macOS devices.
Click the Help link in the top-right corner of the ServiceDesk Plus web client. Select the About option from the drop-down to see your current version. If your current version (Professional and Enterprise editions) is 11207 or below and you are using the asset scanning agent in ServiceDesk Plus, you might be affected.
Customers who fit the above criteria can upgrade to the latest version (11300) using the appropriate migration path here:

This is a security advisory regarding a possible authentication bypass vulnerability in ServiceDesk Plus, which has been identified and rectified. On-premises users of ServiceDesk Plus version 10511 to 11133 who have enabled SAML authentication are affected by this vulnerability and advised to update to the latest version (11134) immediately.
Severity: High
This vulnerability might be exploited to log in to a ServiceDesk Plus installation with administrative privileges to access information or change service desk configurations, both of which can be used to provide unauthorized access to user data or aid subsequent attacks. To do so, an attacker would need to carry out two steps. First, they would need to enter the credentials of any service desk user's account. Then they would need to alter the parameter 'username' to another username with administrative privileges after SAML validation. This would require the attacker to know three pieces of information: the user credentials of any service desk account, the username of an administrator account, and the domain details.
The security check process used by ServiceDesk Plus to authenticate the username and the user domain post SAML validation had a vulnerability that made it possible to change the parameter 'username' post SAML validation.
This vulnerability could be exploited to log in to a ServiceDesk Plus installation as an administrator.
This vulnerability affects customers of any edition of ServiceDesk Plus (on-premises) using version 10511 to 11133 who have SAML authentication enabled.
This particular vulnerability has been addressed in ServiceDesk Plus 11134 by fixing the security check mechanism such that authentication occurs with the username and domain details stored securely rather than from direct incoming parameters that can be tampered with easily.
Click the Help link in the top-right corner of the ServiceDesk Plus web client. Select the About option from the drop-down to see your current version. If your current version is between 10511 and 11133 and you are using SAML authentication, you might be affected.
ServiceDesk Plus versions 11100 to 11133
Download the upgrade pack from https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/service-packs.html and immediately upgrade to the latest version (11134).
Please follow this forum post for further updates. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the latest version (11134) using the appropriate migration path here: https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/on-premises/service-packs.html
