CVE-2023-45727North Grid Proself — external entity injection in file handling

Proself in its enterprise, gateway and mail sanitise editions processes markup (XML) without restricting external entities, so an unauthenticated attacker makes the server fetch files and addresses.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Proself past the affected versions now; then review outbound requests from the server and any file it may have been made to read.
