Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache OpenMeetings versions prior to 3.1.1

Description The issue is related to the improper use of the Java URL class in the FileService.importFileByInternalUserId and FileService.importFile SOAP API methods. This allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by attempting to upload a file. No information is provided about the estimated number of potentially affected devices or real-world incidents.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.1.1, update to version 3.1.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the FileService.importFileByInternalUserId and FileService.importFile SOAP API methods until the update is applied.
