Title: SeaGlass Technologies sglMerchant Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

sglMerchant is a web-commerce application.

sglMerchant does not adequately filter user-supplied input in the form of '../' sequences. It is possible for a remote attacker to construct a web request which will break out of wwwroot to browse the filesystem of the host. The attacker may exploit this issue to display arbitrary web-readable files.

For example:

www.server.com/cgi-shop/view_item?
HTML_FILE=../../../../../../file

The sensitive information contained in disclosed files may aid the attacker in making further, more educated attempts at fully compromising the host.

Affected Products:

  • SeaGlass Technologies Inc sglMerchant 1.0.0
