In Progress OpenEdge OEM (OpenEdge Management) and OEE (OpenEdge Explorer) before 12.7, a remote user (who has any OEM or OEE role) could perform a URL injection attack to change identity or role membership, e.g., escalate to admin. This affects OpenEdge LTS before 11.7.16, 12.x before 12.2.12, and 12.3.x through 12.6.x before 12.7.

This issue affects Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge in versions 11.7 prior to 11.7.18, 12.2 prior to 12.2.13, and innovation releases prior to 12.8.0. An attacker can formulate a request for a WEB transport that allows unintended file uploads to a server directory path on the system running PASOE. If the upload contains a payload that can further exploit the server or its network, the launch of a larger scale attack may be possible.

Local ABL Client bypass of the required PASOE security checks may allow an attacker to commit unauthorized code injection into Multi-Session Agents on supported OpenEdge LTS platforms up to OpenEdge LTS 11.7.18 and LTS 12.2.13 on all supported release platforms

Host name validation for TLS certificates is bypassed when the installed OpenEdge default certificates are used to perform the TLS handshake for a networked connection.  This has been corrected so that default certificates are no longer capable of overriding host name validation and will need to be replaced where full TLS certificate validation is needed for network security.  The existing certificates should be replaced with CA-signed certificates from a recognized certificate authority that contain the necessary information to support host name validation.

An ActiveMQ Discovery service was reachable by default from an OpenEdge Management installation when an OEE/OEM auto-discovery feature was activated.  Unauthorized access to the discovery service's UDP port allowed content injection into parts of the OEM web interface making it possible for other types of attack that could spoof or deceive web interface users.   Unauthorized use of the OEE/OEM discovery service was remediated by deactivating the discovery service by default.

This issue affects Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge in versions 11.7 prior to 11.7.18, 12.2 prior to 12.2.13, and innovation releases prior to 12.8.0

An attacker who can produce a malformed web request may cause the crash of a PASOE agent potentially disrupting the thread activities of many web application clients. Multiple of these DoS attacks could lead to the flooding of invalid requests as compared to the server’s remaining ability to process valid requests.

Directory traversal vulnerability in report/reportViewAction.jsp in Progress Software OpenEdge 11.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the selection parameter.

Insecure default configuration in Progress Software OpenEdge 10.2x and 11.x allows unauthenticated remote attackers to specify arbitrary URLs from which to load and execute malicious Java classes via port 20931.

In Progress OpenEdge before 11.7.14 and 12.x before 12.2.9, certain SUID binaries within the OpenEdge application were susceptible to privilege escalation. If exploited, a local attacker could elevate their privileges and compromise the affected system.
