Sawmill 8.x < 8.1.7.3 Arbitrary File Disclosure

high Nessus Plugin ID 50431

Language:

Synopsis

It was possible to read arbitrary files from the remote system.

Description

The version of Sawmill running on the remote host fails to properly restrict access to critical functions to an unauthorized user. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to read arbitrary files from the remote system.

Note that the version of Sawmill running on the remote host may be affected by several other vulnerabilities, including arbitrary command execution and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities; however, Nessus has not checked for them.

Solution

Upgrade to Sawmill version 8.1.7.3 or later.
