What is CVE-2017-15014?

OpenText Documentum Content Server, as of version 7.3, contains a design flaw that permits authenticated users to download arbitrary content files irrespective of their repository permissions. This vulnerability arises when a user uploads files and subsequently requests to create a dmr_content object that points to an existing content file on the server. As a result, any authenticated user can manipulate the DATA_TICKET provided by the Content Server during the upload process, leading to unauthorized file access. This flaw highlights the need for stricter permission checks in the content management workflow.
