The vulnerability was caused through lack of proper user input validation.\n\nThis vulnerability is known as an XML External Entity (XXE) injection attack. Attackers can exploit XXE vulnerabilities to read arbitrary files on the server, including sensitive system files. In theory, it might be possible to use this to escalate privileges.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-611"],"references":["http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/02/27/6","https://lists.apache.org/thread/qrt7mq7v7zyrh1qsh1gkg1m7clysvy32","http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/02/27/6","https://lists.apache.org/thread/qrt7mq7v7zyrh1qsh1gkg1m7clysvy32"],"products":["apache:ambari"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:45:59.823092188+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-50380","score":0.00865,"percentile":0.58661,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-qrp9-23p7-g5mf","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-qrp9-23p7-g5mf","summary":"Apache Ambari XML External Entity injection","modified":"2025-02-13T19:10:30Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.apache.ambari.contrib.views:wfmanager","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.ambari.contrib.views/wfmanager","ranges":[">=2.7.0 <2.7.8"],"fixed":["2.7.8"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
