Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in HTTP Commander, which can be exploited by malicious users to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing validation of input supplied to the "file" parameter of "OpenFile.aspx" and "Html.aspx". This can be exploited to traverse out of the web root via the "../" character sequence.
Example:
http://[victim]/OpenFile.aspx?file=../../../[existing_file]
The vulnerability has been reported in version 4.0.
Solution:
Filter malicious character sequences in a HTTP proxy or firewall with URL filtering capabilities.
The impact of directory traversal attacks can be lessened by placing the web root on a separate drive letter.
