Title: Interactive Story Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Interactive Story is a web-based application written in Perl and is distributed as freeware.
Interactive Story does not filter '../' sequences from the user input submitted to a hidden file called 'next'. The malicious input must be submitted as an argument to be passed to this file, which will allow the remote attacker to break out of webroot.
Properly exploited, this vulnerability will allow attackers to view arbitrary web-readable files. The disclosed information may be used in further attacks on the host.
