Description
Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) uses a hard-coded key to encrypt certain query parameters. Some encrypted parameter values can specify paths to download files, potentially bypassing authentication and authorization, for example, the 'qs' parameter used in '/DownloadWeb/download.aspx'. This key is shared across NIX installations. NIX 2023.3 and 2024.1 limit the use of hard-coded keys.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) using a hard-coded encryption key to encrypt certain query parameters. Some of these encrypted parameters can specify file download paths, potentially allowing attackers to bypass authentication and authorization controls to download files they should not access. The hard-coded key is shared across all NIX installations, increasing the risk. Later versions (NIX 2023.3 and 2024.1) have limited the use of such hard-coded keys.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthorized users to bypass authentication and authorization mechanisms to download files from the system. This could lead to exposure of sensitive or confidential information, potentially compromising data confidentiality.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, update Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) to versions 2023.3 or 2024.1 or later, as these versions limit the use of hard-coded keys that enable unauthorized file downloads.
