Title
Software AG WebMethods access control
Summary
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Software AG WebMethods 10.11.x/10.15.x. Affected is an unknown function of the file wm.server/connect/. The manipulation leads to improper access controls. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. To access a file like /assets/ a popup may request username and password. By just clicking CANCEL you will be redirected to the directory. If you visited /invoke/wm.server/connect, you'll be able to see details like internal IPs, ports, and versions. In some cases if access to /assets/ is refused, you may enter /assets/x as a wrong value, then come back to /assets/ which we will show the requested data. It appears that insufficient access control is depending on referrer header data. VDB-247158 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Una funci\u00f3n desconocida del archivo wm.server/connect/ es afectada por esta vulnerabilidad. La manipulaci\u00f3n conduce a controles de acceso inadecuados. Es posible lanzar el ataque de forma remota. Para acceder a un archivo como /assets/, una ventana emergente puede solicitar un nombre de usuario y contrase\u00f1a. Con solo hacer clic en CANCELAR ser\u00e1 redirigido al directorio. Si visit\u00f3 /invoke/wm.server/connect, podr\u00e1 ver detalles como IP internas, puertos y versiones. En algunos casos, si se rechaza el acceso a /assets/, puede ingresar /assets/x como un valor incorrecto y luego regresar a /assets/ donde mostraremos los datos solicitados. Parece que el control de acceso insuficiente depende de los datos del encabezado de referencia. VDB-247158 es el identificador asignado a esta vulnerabilidad.
