An input validation weakness was discovered in XCC that could allow a valid, authenticated XCC user with elevated privileges to perform command injection or cause a recoverable denial of service using a specially crafted file.

A privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered in XCC that could allow a valid, authenticated XCC user with elevated privileges to perform command injection via specially crafted IPMI commands.

An internal product security audit discovered a UEFI SMM (System Management Mode) callout vulnerability in some ThinkSystem servers that could allow a local attacker with elevated privileges to execute arbitrary code.

An input validation weakness was discovered in XCC that could allow a valid, authenticated XCC user with elevated privileges to perform command injection through specially crafted command line input in the XCC SSH captive shell.

A privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered in XCC that could allow a valid, authenticated XCC user with elevated privileges to perform command injection via specially crafted file uploads.

The Remote Mount feature can potentially be abused by valid, authenticated users to make connections to internal services that may not normally be accessible to users. Internal service access controls, as applicable, remain in effect.

An information leak vulnerability in the SMI Set BIOS Password SMI Handler in some Lenovo models may allow an attacker with local access and elevated privileges to read SMM memory.

A buffer overflow exists in the Remote Presence subsystem which can potentially allow valid, authenticated users to cause a recoverable subsystem denial of service.

A valid, authenticated XCC user with read-only permissions can modify custom user roles on other user accounts and the user trespass message through the XCC CLI. There is no exposure if SSH is disabled or if there are no users assigned optional read-only permissions.

A valid XCC user's local account permissions overrides their active directory permissions under specific configurations. This could lead to a privilege escalation. To be vulnerable, LDAP must be configured for authentication/authorization and logins configured as “Local First, then LDAP”.

A valid LDAP user, under specific conditions, will default to read-only permissions when authenticating into XCC. To be vulnerable, XCC must be configured to use an LDAP server for Authentication/Authorization and have the login permission attribute not defined.

A valid, authenticated administrative user can query a web interface API to reveal the configured LDAP client password used by XCC to authenticate to an external LDAP server in certain configurations. There is no exposure where no LDAP client password is configured

A valid, authenticated user may be able to trigger a denial of service of the XCC web user interface or other undefined behavior through a format string injection vulnerability in a web interface API.

A valid, authenticated XCC user with read only access may gain elevated privileges through a specifically crafted API call.

An authenticated XCC user can change permissions for any user through a crafted API command.

An internal product security audit of Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) discovered that the XCC configuration backup/restore password may be written to an internal XCC log buffer if Lenovo XClarity Administrator (LXCA) is used to perform the backup/restore. The backup/restore password typically exists in this internal log buffer for less than 10 minutes before being overwritten. Generating an FFDC service log will include the log buffer contents, including the backup/restore password if present. The FFDC service log is only generated when requested by a privileged XCC user and it is only accessible to the privileged XCC user that requested the file. The backup/restore password is not captured if the backup/restore is initiated directly from XCC.

An authorization bypass exists in Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) versions prior to 3.08 CDI340V, 3.01 TEI392O, 1.71 PSI328N where a valid authenticated user with lesser privileges may be granted read-only access to higher-privileged information if 1) “LDAP Authentication Only with Local Authorization” mode is configured and used by XCC, and 2) a lesser privileged user logs into XCC within 1 minute of a higher privileged user logging out. The authorization bypass does not exist when “Local Authentication and Authorization” or “LDAP Authentication and Authorization” modes are configured and used by XCC.

A stored CSV Injection vulnerability was reported in Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) that could allow an administrative or other appropriately permissioned user to store malformed data in certain XCC server informational fields, that could result in crafted formulas being stored in an exported CSV file. The crafted formula is not executed on XCC itself and has no effect on the server.
