VAR-199912-0194

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:31

IIS does not properly canonicalize URLs, potentially allowing remote attackers to bypass access restrictions in third-party software via escape characters, aka the "Escape Character Parsing" vulnerability. IIS accepts escaped characters that are not valid hexadecimal digits. All webservers that are compliant with RFC 1738 accept hexadecimal digits that are preceded by a percent sign, but IIS will also accept invalid hex digits and translate some of them into valid ASCII characters. This provides a third means of constructing URLs (plaintext, valid hex, and invalid hex) that may be used to bypass third-party access control mechanisms and intrusion detection systems. This issue does not provide a means of compromising the IIS server itself
