The product accepts path input in the form of single dot directory exploit ('/./') without appropriate validation, which can lead to ambiguous path resolution and allow an attacker to traverse the file system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files.

Referensi Deskripsi

CVE-2024-6091

CVE-2000-0004

Server allows remote attackers to read source code for executable files by inserting a . (dot) into the URL.

Server allows remote attackers to read password-protected files via a /./ in the HTTP request.

CVE-1999-1083

Possibly (could be a cleansing error)

CVE-2002-0112

Server allows remote attackers to view password protected files via /./ in the URL.

Mitigasi yang Memungkinkan

Phases : Implementation
Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.

Catatan Pemetaan Kerentanan

Justifikasi : This CWE entry is at the Variant level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Komentar : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.
