Error Message

There is no error associated with this vulnerability.

Cause

Not Applicable.

Resolution

eDiscovery Platform does not make use of the file Spreadsheet::ParseExcel functionality as reported in the vulnerability. As a result eDiscovery Platform is not impacted by C:\PERL\perl\vendor\lib\Spreadsheet\ParseExcel.pm and no mitigation is required. 

However, in order to prevent the security scanner from alerting on the file the file can be removed from the eDP server. 

To remove the file perform the following:

  • Make a backup of the file.
  • Stop all eDP services
  • Then delete the file: C:\PERL\perl\vendor\lib\Spreadsheet\ParseExcel.pm
