| Detailed Description |
The "anacondaclip.pl" CGI is installed. Anaconda Clipper is a headline-gathering tool.
The anacondaclip.pl script of Anaconda Clipper 3.3 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the Web server, due to insufficient checks performed on parameters passed to anacondaclip.pl through the "template" argument. A remote attacker can send an HTTP GET request with "dot dot" sequences (/../) to traverse directories and gain read access to sensitive files on the Web server with the privileges of the http daemon (usually root or nobody). |
