Seeyon OA A6 is a collaborative office software suite used primarily by enterprises for managing administrative and operational tasks in an organization. It's typically deployed internally within organizations to streamline communications and document management. Various businesses and governmental agencies utilize Seeyon OA A6 for its robust feature set, which includes document processing, meeting management, and workflow automation. The software is designed to enhance collaborative efforts among different departments and improve overall operational efficiency. Additionally, its flexibility allows it to be customized to fit specific organizational needs, making it suitable for a wide range of industries. Users across these organizations rely on Seeyon OA A6 for securely managing sensitive business data and communications.
The Information Disclosure vulnerability detected in Seeyon OA A6 pertains to the unauthorized access of sensitive information. Unauthorized users can exploit a specific page, config.jsp, which is exposed and accessible without proper authentication controls. Consequently, attackers can gain access to sensitive configuration details that could further be used to exploit the system. Such vulnerabilities indicate a lapse in secure coding practices and underscore the need for robust access controls. The vulnerability affects the data confidentiality, putting sensitive enterprise information at risk if exploited. It's crucial for affected users to adhere to security advisories to mitigate potential exploits.
In the detected vulnerability, the config.jsp file located on the server does not properly enforce access controls, allowing anyone to access sensitive configuration settings. The file's endpoint is accessible under /yyoa/ext/trafaxserver/SystemManage/config.jsp, which should normally be restricted to authorized users. Within this file, parameters such as "DatabaseName" and configuration settings for server plugins are exposed. If left unchecked, this configuration file can provide attackers with insights into database configurations and potentially exploit other system functions using this information. The inclusion of specific database-related terms and configuration instructions in the file's response indicates its vulnerability to information disclosure.
When this Information Disclosure vulnerability is exploited, an attacker might leverage the disclosed information to cause further harm. With access to configuration settings, an attacker can tailor attacks aimed at compromising databases, increasing the risk to confidential information. Additionally, acquiring unauthorized knowledge of internal network configurations can lead to potential escalation of privileges. Organizations could suffer reputational damage, financial losses, and breaches of data protection obligations if sensitive information is exposed. It also increases the risk of targeted attacks as adversaries could use the disclosed information to identify further exploitation vectors.
