CVE-2016-1595

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Micro Focus Novell Service Desk versions prior to 7.2

Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to conduct Hibernate Query Language (HQL) injection attacks and obtain sensitive information. This is achieved via the entityName parameter in the "LiveTime/WebObjects/LiveTime.woa/wa/DownloadAction/downloadFile" API endpoint.

Recommendations For versions prior to 7.2, update to version 7.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "LiveTime/WebObjects/LiveTime.woa/wa/DownloadAction/downloadFile" API endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the entityName parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
