Description |
Microsoft IIS contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to access arbitrary files outside of the web path. The issue is due to the webhits.dll library not properly sanitizing user input, specifically traversal style attacks (../../) supplied via the "CiWebHitsFile" variable. By supplying a crafted request to an htw script, it is possible to read arbitrary files on the system. |
