| Titre | Whistle whistle 2.9.98 Path Traversal |
|---|
| Description | A path traversal vulnerability was identified on the endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8899/cgi-bin/sessions/get-temp-file. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the server's file system.
By manipulating the filename parameter with a value of /etc/passwd, as demonstrated by the proof-of-concept URL http://127.0.0.1:8899/cgi-bin/sessions/get-temp-file?filename=/etc/passwd, the server returns the contents of the /etc/passwd file. This indicates that the application is not properly sanitizing user-supplied input, enabling directory absolute paths to access files outside the intended directory.
Since no authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, it poses a significant security risk, potentially leading to information disclosure, system compromise, or further attacks. |
