Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8003)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct directory traversal attack and obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, gain read-only access to sensitive files on the filesystem and conduct further attacks.
