A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in NewAtlanta ServletExec ISAPI 4.1. This affects an unknown functionality of the file com.newatlanta.servletexec.jsp10servlet of the component URL Encoding Handler. The manipulation with the input value ..%5c leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.
