Hello OpenKM community,

We at Terra System Labs have recently completed a comprehensive whitepaper that dives into zero-day vulnerabilities identified in OpenKM - including root cause analysis, exploit mechanics, risk impact, and actionable recommendations for mitigation. The official patch is not available during the writing of this whitepaper.

Why this matters:
📌 OpenKM is widely used for document management - making its security posture critical.
📌 Our research highlights exploitation vectors that could lead to unauthorized access, data leakage, or privilege escalation.
📌 Make the server vulnerable to Ransomware or internal lateral movement.
📌 We offer detailed findings and defensive controls that can help developers, administrators, and security teams strengthen deployments.

What’s inside the whitepaper:
✔ Technical breakdown of each zero-day vulnerability
Proof-of-Concept (PoC) insights
✔ Risk scoring and threat context
✔ Remediation guidance and secure configuration best practices
✔ References to relevant standards and secure coding principles

We believe this research will be valuable for anyone building, maintaining, or securing OpenKM installations. Looking forward to your thoughts, feedback, and any additional findings from the community!
