CVE-2023-3892

Data disclosure and service interruption via DICOM XXE

Published Sep 19, 2023 · Updated Sep 25, 2024

XXE in MIM Software MIM Assistant and MIM Client 7.2.10 and 7.3.3 allows remote attackers to read data or interrupt service. The DICOM RTst loading modules parse XML embedded in third-party private metadata tags without restricting external entity references. Exploitation requires a crafted DICOM object from an authorized node unless the Store Service is promiscuous, followed by automated Assistant processing or user action.
