Descriptions
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Windows Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) when it improperly parses XML input containing a reference to an external entity, aka 'Windows Event Viewer Information Disclosure Vulnerability'.
Existe una vulnerabilidad de revelación de información en el Windows Event Viewer ( eventvwr.msc) cuando analiza incorrectamente una entrada XML, conteniendo una referencia a una entidad exterior (conocido como Windows Event information Disclosure Vulnerability)
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Microsoft Windows. 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 Event Viewer. 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 the contents of files in the context of the current user.
Microsoft Event Viewer version 1.0 suffers from an XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability that allows for file exfiltration.
