Title: HTML2WML Scheme File Arbitrary Access Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

HTML2WML is a freely available, open source Linux application for converting Hypertext Markup Language to Wireless Meta Language. It is maintained by Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni.

A problem with the script could make it possible for users to gain access to sensitive files. The problem is in the handling of the WML conversion CGI script.

The CGI script allows users to request various HTML files on the site, and converts them to WML. This is performed by the script each time the visitor places a request.

The script allows access to the scheme file. This could allow a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.

  • Html2Wml Html2Wml 0.4.0
