CVE-2022-26329

File existence disclosure via undisclosed plugin flaw

Published Jan 24, 2023 · Updated Apr 1, 2025

File existence disclosure in the NetIQ Identity Manager plugin before 4.8.5 allows attackers to determine whether filesystem paths exist. OpenText identifies the affected locus only as an Identity Manager plugin and has not disclosed the parameter, request path, or file-check operation. Exploitation requires adjacent access, high privileges, and user interaction, and discloses existence only without reading file contents.
