ClientServiceConfigController.cs in Enghouse Cloud Contact Center Platform 7.2.5 has functionality for loading external XML files and parsing them, allowing an attacker to upload a malicious XML file and reference it in the URL of the application, forcing the application to load and parse the malicious XML file, aka an XXE issue.

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.
