HIGHCVSS Vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L
Lifecycle Timeline
4Description
GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. From version 2.26.0 to before 2.26.2 and before 2.25.6, an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability was identified. The application accepts XML input through a specific endpoint /geoserver/wms operation GetMap. However, this input is not sufficiently sanitized or restricted, allowing an attacker to define external entities within the XML request. This issue has been patched in GeoServer 2.25.6, GeoServer 2.26.3, and GeoServer 2.27.0.
Analysis
GeoServer contains an XXE vulnerability in the WMS GetMap operation allowing unauthenticated attackers to read server files and perform SSRF attacks.
Technical Context
The CWE-611 XXE in the GetMap operation's XML processing allows injecting external entities that read local files or make server-side requests to internal services.
Affected Products
['GeoServer 2.26.0 before 2.26.2', 'GeoServer before 2.25.6']
Remediation
Update GeoServer. Disable external entity processing in XML parsers.
