Unauthenticated file disclosure via external XML entities
Published Aug 1, 2025 · Updated Aug 4, 2025
XML external entity injection in the authentication endpoint of Quantum DXi6702 2.3.0.3 allows remote attackers to read device files. The /rest/Users?action=authenticate handler parses unauthenticated XML with external entities enabled, allowing attacker-controlled DTDs to send root-context file contents to an external server. No credentials or user interaction are required, and the demonstrated consequence is disclosure of arbitrary files, including /etc/shadow.
