Opennms · Meridian · CVE-2023-0871
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
OpenNMS Horizon versions 31.0.8 through 32.0.2
**Description**
The issue is related to an XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability in the `/rtc/post/` endpoint, which can be used to force Horizon to make arbitrary HTTP requests to internal and external services. The solution is to upgrade to a newer version. Meridian and Horizon installation instructions state that they are intended for installation within an organization's private networks and should not be directly accessible from the Internet.
**Recommendations**
To resolve the issue, upgrade to Meridian 2023.1.6, 2022.1.19, 2021.1.30, 2020.1.38 or Horizon 32.0.2 or newer. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `/rtc/post/` endpoint until a patch is available.
