CVE-2024-3969

Remote code execution via unsafe stylesheet parsing

Published May 28, 2024 · Updated Aug 21, 2024

XXE in stylesheet parsing in OpenText iManager 3.0.0 through 3.2.6.0300 allows local users to execute code via crafted XML. The stylesheet-processing path parses attacker-controlled XML without disabling external entities, enabling XSLT-based code execution. OpenText's assessment requires low privileges, local access, and high attack complexity; public material does not identify the affected class or endpoint.
