A file disclosure vulnerability exists in Sage 1000 v7.0.0. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to retrieve arbitrary files from the servers file system by manipulating the URL parameter in HTTP requests. The attacker can exploit this flaw to access sensitive information, including configuration files that may contain credentials and system settings, which could lead to further compromise of the server.
The product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be.
Web servers, FTP servers, and similar servers may store a set of files underneath a “root” directory that is accessible to the server’s users. Applications may store sensitive files underneath this root without also using access control to limit which users may request those files, if any. Alternately, an application might package multiple files or directories into an archive file (e.g., ZIP or tar), but the application might not exclude sensitive files that are underneath those directories. In cloud technologies and containers, this weakness might present itself in the form of misconfigured storage accounts that can be read or written by a public or anonymous user.
