Summary
SSA-871717: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Polarion ALM

Notes

Summary
Polarion ALM is affected by incorrect default path permissions in installation path, and improper authentication in the REST API endpoints of DOORS connector. An attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities for unauthenticated access, or privilege escalation. Siemens has released a new version for Polarion ALM and recommends to update to the latest version.
General Recommendations
As a general security measure, Siemens strongly recommends to protect network access to devices with appropriate mechanisms. In order to operate the devices in a protected IT environment, Siemens recommends to configure the environment according to Siemens' operational guidelines for Industrial Security (Download: https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security), and to follow the recommendations in the product manuals.
