Title: Multiple Vendor JSP Source Code Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Many webservers are case-sensitive, but do not have all possible combinations of cases in mapped extensions mapped properly.
By changing the letters in a JSP or a JHTML file extension from lower case to upper case (eg: .jsp or .jhtml becomes .JSP or .JHTML) in a URL the server does not recognize the file extension and sends the file normally. In that manner, a user is able to access the source code to those specific files.
Affected Products:
- BEA Systems WebLogic Express 3.1.8
- BEA Systems Weblogic 3.1.8
- BEA Systems Weblogic 4.0.4
- BEA Systems Weblogic Server 4.5.1
- IBM Websphere Application Server 3.0.2.1
- Unify eWave ServletExec 3.0.0
