CVE-2023-38534Network attack vector

Restricted-information disclosure via unauthenticated RPC

Published Mar 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 28, 2024

Improper authentication in OpenText Exceed TurboX 12.5.0 and 12.5.1 allows remote attackers to read restricted data through RPC. OpenText identifies unauthenticated RPC as the exposed locus but has not published the faulty authentication operation or affected RPC method. No credentials or user interaction are required; the documented consequence is restricted-information disclosure, with no integrity or availability impact.
