1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1631)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the HTTP/HTTPS service used by J-Web. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.

Note: Using this vulnerability, an attacker may be able to inject commands into the httpd.log, read files with "world" readable file permission or obtain J-Web session tokens.
