Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in WsMp3 Daemon 0.0.8/0.0.9/0.0.10. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown part of the component HTTP Request Handler. The manipulation as part of a GET/POST Request 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:
