WebFOCUS Business Intelligence 8.0 (SP6) was prone to XSS via arbitrary URL parameters.

In WebFOCUS Business Intelligence 8.0 (SP6), the administration portal allows remote attackers to read arbitrary local files or forge server-side HTTP requests via a crafted HTTP request to /ibiapps/WFServlet.cfg because XML external entity injection is possible. This is related to making changes to the application repository configuration.

WebFOCUS Business Intelligence 8.0 (SP6) allows a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against administrative users within the /ibiapps/WFServlet(.ibfs) endpoint. The impact may be creation of an administrative user. It can also be exploited in conjunction with CVE-2016-9044.
