Official Description
The Server Administration Panel in Parallels Plesk Panel 10.2.0_build1011110331.18 does not properly validate string data that is intended for storage in an XML document, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (parsing error) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted REST URL parameter, as demonstrated by parameters to admin/ and certain other files.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2011-4727 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
