Description

Missing permission checks in Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin

Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin 6.7 and earlier does not perform permission checks in methods implementing form validation.

This allows attackers with Overall/Read permission to connect to attacker-specified URLs using attacker-specified username and password.

Additionally, these form validation methods do not require POST requests, resulting in a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability.

Micro Focus Application Automation Tools Plugin 6.8 requires POST requests and Overall/Administer permission for the affected form validation methods.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
