CVE-2018-2463
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Omni Commerce Connect API (OCC) of SAP Hybris Commerce, versions 6.*, is vulnerable to server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks. This is due to a misconfiguration of XML parser that is used in the server-side implementation of OCC.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Omni Commerce Connect API in SAP Hybris Commerce 6.x contains a server-side request forgery vulnerability stemming from a misconfigured XML parser. Attackers can exploit this to make the server perform requests to internal or external resources, potentially accessing sensitive internal services or bypassing network restrictions.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Hybris Commerce versionLocate the version file or check the hybris Platform version (typically in the platform directory or via the admin console)Affected if The installed version falls within 6.0 to 6.7 inclusive
-
Determine if Omni Commerce Connect API is enabledCheck the Hybris configuration files (local.properties or extensioninfo.xml) for OCC (omni commerce connect) extension or API endpoint configurationAffected if The OCC API extension is loaded or the /occ endpoint is accessible in the application
-
Inspect XML parser configuration for external entity processingReview the Hybris XML configuration or Spring bean definitions that configure the XML parser used by the OCC API; look for settings related to DocumentBuilderFactory or XMLStreamReader that enable external entitiesAffected if The XML parser is configured with FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING disabled or external entity resolution is not explicitly set to false
-
Check for URL-based XML processing configurationExamine the OCC API configuration or web service descriptors for XML processing settings that allow URL references in XML documentsAffected if The XML parser or API configuration permits URL-based XML sources or external entity inclusion
-
Verify network exposure of OCC endpointsDetermine if the /occ or Omni Commerce Connect API endpoints are exposed externally or accessible from untrusted networksAffected if The OCC API is reachable without authentication or from external networks
A user is affected if they run Hybris Commerce versions 6.0-6.7 with the Omni Commerce Connect API enabled and the XML parser configured to allow external entity processing or URL-based XML loading.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataConfigure the XML parser to disable external entity processing (XXE protection) and restrict URL-based XML processing. Apply any available SAP security patches for Hybris Commerce.
