Description |
The Google Search Appliance contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to verify the existance of a file. The issue is due to the proxystylesheet parameter in the search request, which doesn't check for a directory traversal in the file name. This allows an attacker to prepend a ../ sequence to an absolute file path and verify its existance based on the error message returned. |
