CVE-2023-49110
Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-611
Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')
Publication date:

Description
When the Kiuwan Local Analyzer uploads the scan results to the Kiuwan SAST web <br />
application (either on-premises or cloud/SaaS solution), the transmitted data <br />
consists of a ZIP archive containing several files, some of them in the <br />
XML file format. During Kiuwan&#39;s server-side processing of these XML <br />
files, it resolves external XML entities, resulting in a XML external <br />
entity injection attack. An attacker with privileges to scan <br />
source code within the "Code Security" module is able to extract any <br />
files of the operating system with the rights of the application server <br />
user and is potentially able to gain sensitive files, such as <br />
configuration and passwords. Furthermore, this vulnerability also allows<br />
an attacker to initiate connections to internal systems, e.g. for port <br />
scans or accessing other internal functions / applications such as the <br />
Wildfly admin console of Kiuwan.<br />
