CVE-2020-7032: Avaya WebLM Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference

An XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in Avaya WebLM admin interface allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files or conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted DTD in an XML request. Affected versions of Avaya WebLM include: 7.0 through 7.1.3.6 and 8.0 through 8.1.2.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Avaya WebLM had an authenticated admin-interface XML parsing flaw that could let a privileged user read server files or trigger server-side requests. Business urgency is moderate: exploitation needs valid high-privilege access, but compromised admin accounts could expose sensitive files or disrupt service. Organizations using Avaya WebLM or Avaya System Manager in the listed 7.x or 8.x ranges are most relevant. Exposure is higher where the WebLM admin interface is reachable beyond tightly controlled management networks. Prioritize remediation where Avaya WebLM supports business-critical voice or licensing services, or where admin access is broadly reachable. This is not rated critical because exploitation requires high privileges, but impact can be serious after admin compromise. Mitigation focus: Check Avaya advisory 101072249 for vendor-supported fixed releases or workarounds.; Upgrade affected WebLM or System Manager deployments according to Avaya guidance.; Restrict WebLM admin access to trusted administrators and management networks..
