Technical details
An Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference (XXE) vulnerability (CWE-611) exists within the SOAP service endpoints of Schneider Electric Data Center Expert. The vulnerability is rooted in the XML parser's failure to disable external entity resolution when processing SOAP requests. An attacker with valid 'Data Center Expert' user credentials can submit a crafted XML payload containing malicious external entity references. If successful, the attacker can read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem, leading to unauthorized information disclosure. The vulnerability is reachable over the network but requires low-privileged authentication.
