Summary
DDSN Interactive cm3 Acora CMS version 10.7.1 contains an improper access control vulnerability. An editor-privileged user can access sensitive configuration files by force browsing the “/Admin/file_manager/file_details.asp” endpoint and manipulating the “file” parameter. By referencing specific files (e.g., cm3.xml), the attacker can retrieve system administrator credentials, SMTP settings, database credentials, and other confidential information.
Risk Assessment
Exposure of this information can lead to full administrative access to the CMS, unauthorized access to email services, compromise of backend databases, lateral movement within the network, and long-term persistence by an attacker. This poses a critical risk of account takeover, privilege escalation, and systemic compromise of the affected application and its associated infrastructure.
Recommendation
Immediately update the system to the latest version where this vulnerability is fixed. Until the update is applied, restrict access to the “/Admin/file_manager/file_details.asp” endpoint to trusted IP addresses only and implement additional authentication and authorization mechanisms.
