Title: FAQManager.CGI Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
FAQManager.cgi is a Perl script for maintaining a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) via a web interface. It will run on most Unix/Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms.
A vulnerability exists in the FAQManager.cgi script which has the potential to disclose sensitive information to remote attackers.
FAQManager does not properly filter certain types of input from incoming web requests. It is possible to make a specially crafted web request containing '../' sequences to break out of wwwroot and display arbitrary web-readable files. Contents of arbitrary web-readable files that are disclosed in this manner may contain sensitive information which can facilitate further attacks on the host by the attacker.
