Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Generation Terrorists Designs And Concepts Sojourn 2.0. Affected is an unknown code of the file sojourn.cgi of the component Search Engine. The manipulation of the argument cat with the input value .. leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Sojourn search engine allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) attack.

The weakness was published 03/14/2000 as CISADV000313 as not defined advisory (Website). The advisory is available at archives.neohapsis.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2000-0180. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known. This vulnerability is assigned to T1006 by the MITRE ATT&CK project.

The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 10349 (Sojourn Search Engine sojourn.cgi cat Parameter Traversal Arbitrary File Access), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CGI abuses. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 10074 (Sojourn Search Engine File Viewing Vulnerability).
