Description

Microsoft Content Management Server 2001 contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to upload arbitrary content to the server. The issue exists due to the the fact that CMS 2001 fails to properly authenticate users when using the resource upload script, and fails to sanitize user suplied input on the file name argument, allowing an attacker to upload content to arbitrary locations on the server. It is possible that the flaw may allow remote command execution, resulting in a loss of integrity.
