CVE-2024-45745Network attack vector

Authenticated file disclosure via Script Editor XXE

Published Sep 27, 2024 · Updated Sep 27, 2024

XXE in TopQuadrant TopBraid EDG before 8.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to read local files or access URLs. The Script Editor accepts a malicious uploaded XML DTD and resolves its external entities, allowing JavaScript to access server files and issue web requests. A valid account with Script Editor access is required; successful exploitation exposes files readable by the EDG service or uses its network reach.
