An XXE issue was discovered in Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) WebCTRL Versions 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5. An unauthenticated attacker could enter malicious input to WebCTRL and a weakly configured XML parser will allow the application to disclose full file contents from the underlying web server OS via the X-Wap-Profile HTTP header.
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.
