CVE-2018-17791
HIGHEPSS 78th pctlDescription
Newgen OmniFlow Intelligent Business Process Suite (iBPS) 7.0 has an "improper server side validation" vulnerability where client-side validations are tampered, and inappropriate information is stored on the server side and fetched from the server every time the user visits the D, creating business confusion. In the worst case, all available resources are consumed while processing the data, resulting in unavailability of the service to legitimate users. This occurs because non-editable parameters can be modified by manually editing a disabled form field within the developer options.
