Summary

OpenText Documentum Content Server, version 7.3, has a design flaw that enables an authenticated user to acquire superuser privileges. The server allows users to upload content using TAR archives but fails to properly verify the contents during extraction. This oversight leads to a path traversal vulnerability by exploiting symbolic links, allowing attackers to access sensitive files within the server's filesystem, ultimately resulting in privilege escalation.
