Ektron · Ektron Content Management System · CVE-2012-5358
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Ektron Content Management System (CMS) versions prior to 8.02 SP5
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and consequently bypass authentication, modify viewstate, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XSL data. This is due to the XSLTCompiledTransform function configuring the XSL with enableDocumentFunction set to true.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 8.02 SP5, update to version 8.02 SP5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the XSLTCompiledTransform function until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
