info:
  name: SysAid On-Prem <= 23.3.40 - XML External Entity
  author: johnk3r
  severity: critical
  description: |
    SysAid On-Prem versions <= 23.3.40 are vulnerable to an unauthenticated XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the lshw processing functionality, allowing for administrator account takeover and file read primitives.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can exploit XXE vulnerabilities in the lshw endpoint to read arbitrary files, potentially leading to administrator account takeover and complete system compromise.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to SysAid On-Prem version 24.40.60 or later that properly disables external entity processing.
