VAR-201509-0146

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:09

The management console on Symantec Web Gateway (SWG) appliances with software before 5.2.2 DB 5.0.0.1277 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and execute arbitrary commands by leveraging a "redirect.". Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the path processing for command URLs accessed through the management port of the gateway. A crafted URL can cause the Web Gateway to execute a command that should not be available externally. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands under the context of root. Symantec Web Gateway (SWG) is a set of network content filtering software developed by Symantec Corporation of the United States. The software provides web content filtering, data loss prevention, and more. A security vulnerability exists in the management console in SWG appliances using software versions earlier than 5.2.2 DB 5.0.0.1277
