VAR-200512-0001

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:37

Directory traversal vulnerability in Ipswitch WhatsUp Small Business 2004 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ".." (dot dot) sequences in a request to the Report service (TCP 8022). Successful exploitation could allow a remote attacker to gain access to files outside the Web root. Sensitive information may be obtained in this manner. A remote attacker can read any document.

Example: http://[host]:8022/../../../../../[file]

SOLUTION: Restrict access to the vulnerable service.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Independently discovered by: * Dennis Rand, Cirt.dk. * Carsten Eiram, Secunia Research.
