CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2018-18406 — An issue was discovered in Tufin SecureTrack 18.1 with TufinOS 2.16 build 1179(Final)
An issue was discovered in Tufin SecureTrack 18.1 with TufinOS 2.16 build 1179(Final). The Audit Report module is affected by a blind XXE vulnerability when a new Best Practices Report is saved using a special payload inside the xml input field. The XXE vulnerability is blind since the response doesn't directly display a requested file, but rather returns it inside the name data field when the report is saved. An attacker is able to view restricted operating system files. This issue affects all types of users: administrators or normal users.

Matched remediation archetype
XML external entity and unsafe XML processing
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Inventory XML parsers used by APIs, file imports, office or image formats, identity protocols, feeds, and background jobs.
- Determine whether document type declarations, external entities, XInclude, schemas, or network resolvers are enabled.
- Map parser filesystem and network access and the sensitivity of documents it processes.
Remediate safely
- Configure each parser to reject document type declarations and disable external entity, XInclude, and network resolution features.
- Prefer a data format or hardened parser that does not support external resolution, and apply input size and depth limits.
- Update affected XML libraries and centralize secure parser construction so callers cannot silently override it.
