AI-suggested

Since the product is not a cloud service, users should monitor IBM advisories for official fixes or updates addressing this vulnerability. Until a patch is released, consider restricting external access to the affected versions 7.1 and 7.2 to trusted networks to reduce exposure.

Description

IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next versions 7.1 and 7.2 contain a vulnerability where improper input validation allows a remote attacker to cause the web server to disclose contents of sensitive files. This exposure of sensitive information is due to incompatible policies in the software's handling of requests.
