Title: Allaire JRun JSP Source Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Allaire JRun is a web application development suite with JSP and Java Servlets.

An issue exists in Allaire JRun Web Server which has the potential to disclose sensitive information to remote attackers.

JRun Web Server does not properly handle certain types of web requests for JSP files, such as those containing HTML encoded characters or requests which are appended by a null character(%00). Such a request will cause JSP source code to be disclosed instead of interpreted by JRun Web Server.

This issue can be exploited with the following examples:

http://target/directory/jsp/myjsp%00
http://target/directory/jsp/myjs%2570

This is also a known issue when Microsoft IIS is used as a connector for serving JSP files.

Affected Products:

  • Macromedia JRun 3.0.0
  • Macromedia JRun 3.1.0
