The XSLTCompiledTransform function in Ektron Content Management System (CMS) before 8.02 SP5 configures the XSL with enableDocumentFunction set to true, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and consequently bypass authentication, modify viewstate, cause a denial of service, or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted XSL data.
