Descriptions
ModSecurity before 2.7.3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, send HTTP requests to intranet servers, or cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability.
ModSecurity antes de v2.7.3 permite a atacantes remotos leer archivos arbitrarios, enviar peticiones HTTP a los servidores de la intranet, o causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU y memoria) a través de una declaración de entidad externa XML junto con una referencia de entidad, también conocido como una Entidad Externa XML (XXE) vulnerabilidad.
Timur Yunusov and Alexey Osipov from Positive Technologies discovered that the XML files parser of ModSecurity, an Apache module whose purpose is to tighten the Web application security, is vulnerable to XML external entities attacks. A specially-crafted XML file provided by a remote attacker, could lead to local file disclosure or excessive resources (CPU, memory) consumption when processed.
