Ellucian WebAdvisor 3.2 contains an unauthenticated XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability that allows remote attackers to submit crafted XML POST requests to the /WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor endpoint without disabling external entity and DTD resolution. Attackers can exploit this flaw to force the server into SSRF requests, coerce NTLMv2 hash disclosure via attacker-controlled SMB shares, and read arbitrary files from the underlying Windows host through an out-of-band error-based channel. WebAdvisor entered end-of-support status in June 2022 and users are encouraged to migrate to Colleague Self-Service.
A SQL Injection in the Giving Reports functionality in Ellucian Advance Web and Legacy Advance allows an authenticated attacker to extract sensitive information from databases via a crafted SQL query in the class credit field.
This issue affects Advance Web: all versions; Legacy Advance: all versions.
Ellucian CRM Advance is not impacted.
Ellucian Banner Self-Service before the April T2 release (2025-04-23) contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the course search functionality that allows authenticated Banner ERP users to inject malicious payloads into faculty and course fields by exploiting missing HTML encoding during DOM insertion. An attacker with Banner ERP write access can store malicious JavaScript in fields such as faculty displayName, emailAddress, subjectDescription, or courseTitle; these values are subsequently served unsanitized by the unauthenticated getFacultyMeetingTimes API endpoint, causing arbitrary script execution in the browser of any user who views the affected course's meeting times.
Ellucian Banner Self-Service before the April T2 release (2025-04-23) contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser by injecting unsanitized input through the toDateFormat request parameter in the dateConverter endpoint. Attackers can craft a malicious URL targeting the unauthenticated dateConverter endpoint to steal session cookies or perform other malicious actions in the context of the victim's browser session.
Ellucian Banner 9.17 allows Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) via a modified bannerId to the /StudentSelfService/ssb/studentCard/retrieveData endpoint.
A vulnerability was found in Ellucian Ethos Identity up to 5.10.5. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown function of the file /cas/logout. The manipulation of the argument url leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 5.10.6 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-229596.
An improper authentication vulnerability can be exploited through a race condition that occurs in Ellucian Banner Web Tailor 8.8.3, 8.8.4, and 8.9 and Banner Enterprise Identity Services 8.3, 8.3.1, 8.3.2, and 8.4, in conjunction with SSO Manager. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to steal a victim's session (and cause a denial of service) by repeatedly requesting the initial Banner Web Tailor main page with the IDMSESSID cookie set to the victim's UDCID, which in the case tested is the institutional ID. During a login attempt by a victim, the attacker can leverage the race condition and will be issued the SESSID that was meant for this victim.
Ellucian (formerly SunGard) Banner Student 8.5.1.2 through 8.7 allow remote attackers to enumerate user accounts via a series of requests.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Ellucian (formerly SunGard) Banner Student 8.5.1.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
Open redirect vulnerability in Ellucian (formerly SunGard) Banner Student 8.5.1.2 through 8.7 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in an unspecified parameter.
Ellucian (formerly SunGard) Banner Student 8.5.1.2 through 8.7 allows remote attackers to reset arbitrary passwords via unspecified vectors, aka "Weak Password Reset."
