Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Easy File Sharing Web Server allowing malicious people to see any file and conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks.

One problem is that the web server doesn't verify requests. This allows malicious people to conduct directory traversal using "../" sequences making it possible to escape the web root.

Example:
http://[victim]/../../

The other problem is that it is possible to include arbitrary HTML and JavaScript in messages in the forum. This can be exploited to conduct permanent Cross Site Scripting.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.2.
