VAR-200511-0475

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:38

Directory traversal vulnerability in F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange 6.40 and Internet Gatekeeper 6.40 to 6.42 allows limited remote attackers to bypass Web Console authentication and read files. The remote threat only arises if the application has been configured to accept connections from elsewhere. The default configuration only poses a local threat. This can be exploited to read arbitrary files on the server via directory traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is able to connect to the Web Console via an allowed host.
