3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

Siemens reports that the following products are affected:

  • Polarion V2310: All versions
  • Polarion V2404: Versions prior to V2404.4 (CVE-2024-51444, CVE-2024-51445, CVE-2024-51446)

The application insufficiently validates user input for database read queries. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to conduct an SQL injection attack that bypasses authorization controls and allows to download any data from the application's database.

CVE-2024-51444 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).

A CVSS v4 score has also been calculated for CVE-2024-51444. A base score of 7.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N).

3.2.2 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF XML EXTERNAL ENTITY REFERENCE CWE-611

The affected application contains a XML External Entity Injection (XXE) vulnerability in the docx import feature. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to read arbitrary data from the application server.

CVE-2024-51445 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
