PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Polarion ALM is an application lifecycle management solution that improves software development processes with a single, unified solution for requirements, coding, testing, and release. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION Un-/Collapse All This chapter describes all vulnerabilities (CVE-IDs) addressed in this security advisory. Wherever applicable, it also documents the product-specific impact of the individual vulnerabilities. Vulnerability CVE-2024-51444 The application insufficiently validates user input for database read queries. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct an SQL injection attack that bypasses authorization controls and allows to download any data from the application's database. CVSS v3.1 Base Score 6.5 CVSS v3.1 Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N CVSS v4.0 Base Score 7.1 CVSS v4.0 Vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N CWE CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') Vulnerability CVE-2024-51445 The affected application contains a XML External Entity Injection (XXE) vulnerability in the docx import feature. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary data from the application server. CVSS v3.1 Base Score 6.5 CVSS v3.1 Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N CVSS v4.0 Base Score 7.1 CVSS v4.0 Vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N CWE CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference Vulnerability CVE-2024-51446 The file upload feature of the affected application improperly sanitizes xml files. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct a stored cross-site scripting attack by uploading specially crafted xml files that are later downloaded and viewed by other users of the application. CVSS v3.1 Base Score 6.5 CVSS v3.1 Vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L CVSS v4.0 Base Score 5.1 CVSS v4.0 Vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L CWE CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') Vulnerability CVE-2024-51447 The login implementation of the affected application contains an observable response discrepancy vulnerability when validating usernames. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to distinguish between valid and invalid usernames.
