Sensitive information disclosure via external entity expansion
Published May 1, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
XML external entity injection in SonicWall GMS 9.3.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to disclose sensitive information. ECMPolicyRequest lets a crafted document direct the XML parser to retrieve a supplied URI and embed its contents for further processing. Exploitation reaches the network-facing ECM endpoint and returns information obtained in the root context; ZDI reports that existing authentication can be bypassed.
