Descriptions
An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Visual Studio improperly discloses arbitrary file contents if the victim opens a malicious .vscontent file, aka "Microsoft Visual Studio Information Disclosure Vulnerability." This affects Microsoft Visual Studio.
Existe una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información cuando Visual Studio divulga los contenidos de archivos arbitrarios si la víctima abre un archivo malicioso ".vscontent". Esto también se conoce como "Microsoft Visual Studio Information Disclosure Vulnerability". Esto afecta a Microsoft Visual Studio.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Visual Studio. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of VSCONTENT files. Due to the improper restriction of XML External Entity (XXE) references, a specially crafted document specifying a URI causes the XML parser to access the URI and embed the contents back into the XML document for further processing. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the current user.
