A local file enumeration was found in Keyfactor SignServer versions prior to 7.3.2 .The property VISIBLE_SIGNATURE_CUSTOM_IMAGE_PATH, which exists in the PDFSigner and the PAdESSigner, can be set to any path without any restrictions by an admin user. In the case that the provided path points to an existing file, readable by the user running the application server, but is not a recognized image format, it will return this as an error to the clientside, confirming the existences of the file.

Extended Description
Access control involves the use of several protection mechanisms such as:
When any mechanism is not applied or otherwise fails, attackers can compromise the security of the product by gaining privileges, reading sensitive information, executing commands, evading detection, etc. There are two distinct behaviors that can introduce access control weaknesses:
Potential Mitigations
- Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
- Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
