Description
An issue was discovered in Keyfactor SignServer before 7.6.0. A number of properties were identified to not have any restrictions to what path they can be set to by an admin user. Setting these properties to specific file paths can reveal information to the client side. Three specific properties were identified: The property ATTRIBUTESFILE in PKCS11CryotoToken can be set to a readable but not an accepted (i.e., recognized with attributes) file. In this case an error is thrown, confirming the existence of the file. The property KEYSTOREPATH in KeyStoreCryptoToken can be set to a non-existing file that will return an error confirming to the client side that the file does not exist. The property TRUSTSTOREPATH in RenewalWorker can be set to any path (without any restrictions) by an admin user. In the case that the provided path points to an existing file, readable by the user running the application server, but is not a recognized PEM format, it returns this as an error to the client side, confirming the existences of the file.

Impact

A flaw in Keyfactor SignServer versions prior to 7.6.0 lets an administrator set the ATTRIBUTESFILE, KEYSTOREPATH, and TRUSTSTOREPATH configuration properties to any file system path without restriction. When these properties reference a file that is readable by the application server process, the system returns error messages that reveal whether the file exists, enabling the attacker to enumerate local files. The vulnerability is an information disclosure and file enumeration bug rather than a denial‑of‑service or privilege escalation.

Affected Systems

Keyfactor SignServer installations released before 7.6.0 are affected; the CVE does not list more granular product or version data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.3 indicates low severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% reflects a very low exploitation probability. The issue is not present in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires administrator access to the SignServer configuration and does not provide remote code execution or other broader attacks. No publicly available exploits are known.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update SignServer to version 7.6.0 or later to fix the unrestricted property handling.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict the ATTRIBUTESFILE, KEYSTOREPATH, and TRUSTSTOREPATH settings to a set of approved directories or enforce input validation that rejects arbitrary paths.
  • Audit and log configuration changes for these properties to detect unauthorized modifications.
  • Ensure that only trusted administrators have permission to edit SignServer configuration settings.
