Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Sambar Server 6.1 (File Transfer Software). This affects an unknown functionality of the file showini.asp of the component Sysadmin Web Site. The manipulation with an unknown input 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, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Sambar Server 6.1 Beta 2 on Windows, and possibly other versions on Linux, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the show parameter in show.asp and (2) the title parameter in showperf.asp.
