Unauthenticated file disclosure via XML external entities
Published Jun 26, 2023 · Updated Dec 3, 2024
XML external entity injection in Lenovo XClarity Administrator before 4.0 allows remote attackers to read specific files. The Common Information Model server processes attacker-supplied XML without sufficiently restricting external entity references, causing entity resolution against appliance files. No authentication or user interaction is required; the reported consequence is read-only file disclosure, with no reported service interruption.
