CVE-2020-9518Network attack vector

Configuration data disclosure via login-filter bypass

Published Mar 16, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Information disclosure in OpenText Service Manager Web Tier 9.50 through 9.52 and 9.60 through 9.62 allows remote attackers to read configuration data. The login filter allows access to configuration files that should remain blocked, but OpenText has not disclosed the affected paths or request-handling logic. Network reachability and user interaction are required; the documented consequence is configuration-data exposure only.
