Title: DataWizard WebXQ Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

WebXQ server is a web server maintained and distributed by DataWizard Technologies. A host running WebXQ can be led to traverse the normal directory structure and return files from outside of the web root.

By including '/../' sequences along with a known file or directory in requested URLs, a remote user could gain read access to the requested directory and files outside the web root, potentially compromising the privacy of user data and/or obtaining information which could be used to further compromise the host's security.

If successfully exploited this vulnerability could lead to the disclosure of sensitive information assisting in further attacks against the host.

Affected Products:

  • DataWizard WebXQ 2.1.204
  • Progeny Debian 1.0.0
