medium Nessus Plugin ID 57801

Language:

Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability.

Description

The CodeMeter WebAdmin server running on the remote host is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize HTTP requests for files in virtual directories. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve the contents of arbitrary files on the remote host, provided the target file is among a list of allowed extensions (for example, 'txt', 'htm', 'html', 'images', etc.).

Solution

Upgrade to CodeMeter 4.30d (4.30.498.504) or later.
