QID 730838: Openfire Authentication Bypass Vulnerability (GHSA-gw42-f939-fhvm)

Openfire's administrative console (the Admin Console), a web-based application, was found to be vulnerable to a path traversal attack via the setup environment. This permitted an unauthenticated user to use the unauthenticated Openfire Setup Environment in an already configured Openfire environment to access restricted pages in the Openfire Admin Console reserved for administrative users.

Affected Versions:
Openfire versions 3.10.0 - 4.7.4

QID Detection Logic (Unauthenticated):
This QID sends a crafted payload as a HTTP GET request and tries to read the log.jsp file.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to bypass authentication and read sensitive files.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Critical - 9 severity.
