An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-28340 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zohocorp Manageengine Applications Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28340/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28340/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28340","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28340/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28340","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-253c-2jpf-7jp9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ManageEngine Applications Manager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An admin user can exploit an XML External Entity vulnerability in ManageEngine Applications Manager to read sensitive files or execute code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"manageengine_applications_manager","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"Zoho ManageEngine Applications Manager through 16320 allows the admin user to conduct an XXE attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-28340","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zohocorp:manageengine_applications_manager","products":["zohocorp:manageengine_applications_manager"],"type":"xxe","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-28341"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-28339"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-04-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24743","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-27995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15394","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-19649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11469","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11448","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-10","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An admin user can exploit an XML External Entity vulnerability in ManageEngine Applications Manager to read sensitive files or execute code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28340/"}
