Descriptions

RESTEasy 2.3.1 before 2.3.8.SP2 and 3.x before 3.0.9, as used in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.3.0, does not disable external entities when the resteasy.document.expand.entity.references parameter is set to false, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and have other unspecified impact via unspecified vectors, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-0818.

RESTEasy 2.3.1 anterior a 2.3.8.SP2 y 3.x anterior a 3.0.9, utilizado en Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.3.0, no deshabilita entidades externas cuando el parámetro resteasy.document.expand.entity.references está configurado en falso, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer ficheros arbitrarios y tener otro impacto no especificado a través de vectores no especificados, relacionado con un problema de entidad externa XML (XXE). NOTA: este vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para el CVE-2012-0818.

It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-0818 was incomplete: external parameter entities were not disabled when the resteasy.document.expand.entity.references parameter was set to false. A remote attacker able to send XML requests to a RESTEasy endpoint could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
