Title: WWWISIS IsisScript Local File Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

WWWISIS provides a web interface for accessing ISIS databases. It will run on most UNIX and Linux variants and on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

WWWISIS is prone to a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to display the contents of arbitrary local files in the context of the webserver process.

The problem affects the 'IsisScript' parameter and occurs because the software fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Specifically, it fails to properly sanitize directory-traversal strings ('../').

An attacker may be able to exploit this issue to retrieve potentially sensitive information that may aid in further attacks.

This issue affects WWWISIS 7.1; other versions may also be vulnerable.

Affected Products:

  • WWWIsis WWWIsis 7.1
