XXE vulnerability in Launch import
| Release Date | Affected Projects | Affected Versions | Access Vector | Security Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday, May 4, 2020 | service-api | Every version, starting from 3.1.0 | Remote | Medium |
Impact
Starting from version 3.1.0 we introduced a new feature of JUnit XML launch import. Unfortunately XML parser was not configured properly to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This allows a user to import a specifically-crafted XML file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from Report Portal service-api module or server-side request forgery.
Report Portal versions 4.3.12+ and 5.1.1+ disables external entity resolution for theirs XML parser.
We advise our users install the latest releases we built specifically to address this issue.
