Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Moby NetSuite, which can be exploited by malicious people to download arbitrary files from a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error. It is possible to conduct directory traversal attacks, which allows downloading of files outside the web root with the privileges of the web service. This may eg. be achieved by supplying the URL encoded representation of some characters.
Examples:
http://[victim]/%5c..%5c..%5c..%5cwindows%5cwin.ini
http://[victim]/\..\..\..\windows\win.ini
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.21. However, prior versions may also be affected.
