CVE-2025-35052

Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) uses a hard-coded key to encrypt certain query parameters. Some encrypted parameter values can specify paths to download files, potentially bypassing authentication and authorization, for example, the 'qs' parameter used in '/DownloadWeb/download.aspx'. This key is shared across NIX installations. NIX 2023.3 and 2024.1 limit the use of hard-coded keys.

Summary		(es) Newforma Info Exchange (NIX) utiliza una clave codificada de forma rígida para cifrar ciertos parámetros de consulta. Algunos valores de parámetros cifrados pueden especificar rutas para descargar archivos, eludiendo potencialmente la autenticación y la autorización, por ejemplo, el parámetro 'qs' utilizado en '/DownloadWeb/download.aspx'. Esta clave se comparte entre las instalaciones de NIX. NIX 2023.3 y 2024.1 limitan el uso de claves codificadas de forma rígida.
