A security researcher found an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability on the Conserus Image Repository archive solution version 2.1.1.105 by McKesson Medical Imaging Company, which is now a Change Healthcare company. An unauthenticated user supplying a modified HTTP SOAP request to the vulnerable service allows for arbitrary file read access to the local file system as well as the transmittal of the application services account hashed credentials to a remote attacker.

Weakness

The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
