Description

Acuity CMS contains a flaw that allows an attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the /admin/file_manager/browse.asp script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via the 'path' parameter parameter. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to gain access to arbitrary files.
