Title: Plesk Login.PHP3 Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Plesk is a server-management application targeted at hosting providers.
The application is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'locale_id' parameter of 'login.php3'. The issue occurs when specially crafted HTTP GET requests contain directory-traversal strings ('../').
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to retrieve arbitrary files from the vulnerable system in the context of the application. Information obtained may aid in further attacks.
Affected Products:
- Plesk Plesk for Windows 7.6.1
- Plesk Plesk for Windows 8.1.0
- Plesk Plesk for Windows 8.1.1
