description
Metasploit Framework Web Service releases through 6.5.4 do not enforce authentication for certain credential-store update and deletion API operations. An unauthenticated network client that can reach the Web Service listener can modify or remove stored engagement credentials and related records.
mitigation
Upgrade Metasploit Framework to version 6.5.5. Until upgraded, restrict access to the Web Service listener to trusted administrators and networks.
fixed in 6.5.5
outcome
Check only, differential: the check fires on the vulnerable build and is silent on the patched one.
