Arbitrary file read via malicious host parameter
Published Apr 8, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2025
XXE in NAKIVO Backup & Replication Director 10.3 through 11.0.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary local files. The Director processes a malicious host parameter as an external entity reference, connects to an attacker-controlled server, and returns file contents. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful requests expose data accessible to the Director process without altering or interrupting the service.
