CVE-2015-5072Network attack vector

Authenticated local file disclosure via __imageid

Published Jan 15, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

Local file inclusion in BMC Remedy AR System Server before 9.0 SP1 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary local files. The AR System Mid Tier embeds the BIRT Engine servlet with a configuration that accepts an attacker-controlled local path through the __imageid parameter and returns the selected file. A valid Remedy session is required, and the reported consequence is disclosure of files readable by the Mid Tier service, without reported modification or service interruption.
