Title: Ipswitch Whatsup Gold Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Ipswitch Whatsup Gold is a traffic monitoring application written for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Ipswitch Whatsup Gold is prone to a file disclosure vulnerability. This is due to a lack of proper sanitization of user-supplied input.
Input to the application is not properly sanitized. An attacker may compose URI with uppercase characters in the filename extension to trigger this vulnerability. An attacker may then disclose privileged information within the context of the Web server process.
A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to reveal files that contain potentially sensitive information. Information that is harvested in this manner may then be used to aid in further attacks against the software and the computer that is hosting the software.
Affected Products:
- Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold 8.0.04
