Title: Elron IM Message Inspector Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Elron IM is a suite of tools providing internet filtering, virus protection, and other features.
Certain versions of products in the Internet Manager suite, including IM Message Inspector, are vulnerable to directory traversal attacks on the suite's inbuilt, proprietary webserver.
An attacker can compose a long path including '/../' sequences, and submit it as a file request to the vulnerable server. The program will fail to filter the 'dot-dot' sequences from the path, permitting the attacker to specify files outside the directory tree normally available to users.
This can permit disclosure of confidential data and sensitive system files which, if properly exploited, could lead to further compromises of the host's security.
Affected Products:
- Elron IM Message Inspector 3.0.3
