Title: Chili!Soft ASP Sample Scripts Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Severity: LOW

Description:

ChiliSoft ASP (CASP) is a cross-platform Active Server Pages implementation for Linux and other platforms including Lotus Domino, Apache, HP-UX, AIX and others.

The default installation of Chili!Soft ASP includes sample scripts which are vulnerable to directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability only allows the attacker to ascend one level in the web's directory tree. However, in typical CASP configurations, this is the directory /opt/casp, which holds files containing highly sensitive information such as database usernames and passwords, server logs, and the username and password for CASP's admin console.

Access to these files can permit an attacker to further compromise security on the vulnerable host.

Affected Products:

  • Chilisoft ChiliSoft ASP for Linux 3.0.0
  • Chilisoft ChiliSoft ASP for Linux 3.5.0
  • Chilisoft ChiliSoft ASP for Linux 3.5.2
