CVE-2022-2458: XEE

Published Jul 18, 2022
·
Updated

An XML external entity injection(XXE) vulnerability was found in Business Central. This flaw allows an attacker to interfere with an application's processing of XML data. This attack occurs when XML input containing a reference to an external entity is processed by a weakly configured XML parser. The software processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output. Here, the XML external entity injection leads to External Service interaction and an Internal file read in Business Central and Kie-Server APIs.
