In WebFOCUS Business Intelligence 8.0 (SP6), the administration portal allows remote attackers to read arbitrary local files or forge server-side HTTP requests via a crafted HTTP request to /ibi_apps/WFServlet.cfg because XML external entity injection is possible. This is related to making changes to the application repository configuration.

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.
