Vulnerability Summary
-------------------------------------------------
Hyland OnBase's clients and server are vulnerable to DLL hijacking.
Technical Details
-------------------------------------------------
The Hyland OnBase web client, Unity Client, and server are vulnerable to DLL hijacking. While some DLLs are signed, the signatures aren't validated during runtime allowing attackers to modify, replace, or even insert DLLs into the installation folder. OnBase will then dynamically load all DLLs including any newly created ones.
This vulnerability can be coupled with any of the path traversal vulnerabilities to remotely upload malicious DLLs to the OnBase server. Attackers may exploit this to bypass OnBase security, plant backdoors, or escalate privileges.
Solution
-------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, attempts to notify Hyland of the vulnerabilities have been rebuffed as not being something that they have to fix since fixing vulnerabilities, according to the Director of Application Security, is "creating custom code" and no known fix is in place.
