Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in IBM Proventia Network Mail Security System 2.1/2.5/2.5.1/2.8. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file javatester_init.php. The manipulation of the argument template with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in javatester_init.php in IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security 2.1, 2.5, 2.5.1, and 2.8 and IBM ISS Proventia Network Mail Security System allows remote authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the template parameter.

The weakness was published 07/27/2012 as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is shared at kb.cert.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2012-2202 since 04/04/2012. The attack may be initiated remotely. Required for exploitation is a simple authentication. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by muts and been published 2 weeks after the advisory. The exploit is available at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. By approaching the search of inurl:javatester_init.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking.
