Summary

The OpenText Documentum Content Server version 7.3 exhibits a vulnerability that allows authenticated users to exploit a design flaw, effectively obtaining superuser privileges. The server manages uploaded files through dmr_content objects, which can be queried and edited by authenticated users. Although updates have restricted editing capabilities since release 7.2P02, users can still delete existing dmr_content objects and create new entries with the same identifier. This flaw compromises the integrity of sensitive security-related content, allowing unauthorized actions and posing significant risks to data security.
