TitleOpenClinica OpenClinica Community Edition 3.13, Changeset 74f4df3481b6 (2017-02-28) and 3.12.2, Changeset 347dcfca3d17 (2016-11-21) XML Injection
DescriptionOpenClinica is vulnerable to XXE in the "Import CRF Data" function. The XML parser processes external entities. A crafted XML can read local files (e.g. /etc/passwd) and reflect their contents back in the UI error block, confirming XXE with file disclosure and potential SSRF. A detailed write-up is available in the link provided.
