Title: xml2owl 'filedownload.php' Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
The 'xml2owl' program is a PHP-based web application that converts Extensible Markup Language (XML) files to Web Ontology Language (OWL) files.
The application is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers access arbitrary files because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'file' parameter of the 'filedownload.php' script.
An attacker can exploit this issue by crafting an HTTP GET request containing directory-traversal characters ('../') and a filename.
Successful exploits will allow attackers to download arbitrary files with the privileges of the webserver process. Information obtained may aid in further attacks.
This issue affects xml2owl 0.1.1; other versions may be vulnerable as well.
Affected Products:
- xml2owl xml2owl 0.1.1
