Details:

The Compare Policies feature in Rule Tracking, which lets users upload two firewall-configuration files for comparison, was found to be vulnerable to XML injection due to insufficient validation of the uploaded files. This issue has now been fixed.

Impact:

A low-privilege user could upload a crafted configuration file to read arbitrary files on the server, trigger unauthorized outbound requests, or cause a denial of service.

Fix:

Uploaded configuration files are now securely validated before comparison, preventing XML injection.
