Summary

Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) uses a hard-coded key to encrypt certain query parameters. Some encrypted parameter values can specify paths to download files, potentially bypassing authentication and authorization, for example, the 'qs' parameter used in '/DownloadWeb/download.aspx'. This key is shared across NIX installations. NIX 2023.3 and 2024.1 limit the use of hard-coded keys.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can exploit this key to read or download files without authorization, potentially leading to disclosure of sensitive data.

Recommendation

Upgrade NIX to version 2023.3 or 2024.1, which limit the use of hard-coded keys, and consider replacing keys with installation-specific ones.
