Improper Input Validation

CVE-2023-0100

High
8.8/10

Summary

In Eclipse BIRT, the versions 2.6.2 through 4.12.0, the default configuration allowed to retrieve a report from the same host using an absolute HTTP path for the report parameter (e.g. "__report=http://xyz.com/report.rptdesign"). If the host indicated in the "__report" parameter matched the HTTP Host header value, the report would be retrieved. However, the Host header can be tampered with on some configurations where no virtual hosts are put in place (e.g. in the default configuration of Apache Tomcat) or when the default host points to the BIRT server.
