| Detailed Description |
The WebAPP software is vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability in the index.cgi script. WebAPP is a freely available, open source Web portal system written in Perl for Unix operating systems. WebAPP version 0.9.9.1 and earlier versions could allow a remote attacker to view files residing outside of the Web root, caused by improper filtering of user-supplied input passed to the 'viewcat' parameter of the 'index.cgi' script. By sending a specially-crafted URL containing "dot dot" sequences (/../), a remote attacker could traverse directories and view any file on the Web server.
