Description

Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in trytond and proteus

An XXE issue was discovered in Tryton Application Platform (Server) 5.x through 5.0.45, 6.x through 6.0.15, and 6.1.x and 6.2.x through 6.2.5, and Tryton Application Platform (Command Line Client (proteus)) 5.x through 5.0.11, 6.x through 6.0.4, and 6.1.x and 6.2.x through 6.2.1.

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 high, integrity none, availability none.
