Severity Rating: CVSS v3 Base Score: 6.3 
(AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N)

Affected Products:

Summary:

RSA Archer GRC 5.5.3.4 platform contains a fix designed to remedy a
sensitive information disclosure vulnerability that could potentially
be exploited by malicious users to compromise an affected system.


Details:

RSA Archer GRC is potentially affected by a sensitive information
disclosure vulnerability. RSA Archer GRC on upgrade (to one of the
affected versions mentioned above) creates a backup copy (.bak) of
the web.config file. IIS on RSA Archer GRC allows an authenticated
user to configure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) type
to allow reading/downloading .bak file. An attacker can make a HTTP
request to read/download the .bak file which may contain sensitive
information like RSA Archer webserver's username and password.

RSA recommends all customers upgrade to the version mentioned below
at the earliest opportunity.
