Title: Hosting Controller DSNManager Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Hosting Controller is an application which consolidates all hosting tasks into one interface. Hosting Controller runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems.
The DSNManager script is bundled with Hosting Controller and enables users to view and manage DSN (Data Source Number) information for an underlying database.
The DSNManager script does not sufficiently filter dot-dot-slash (../) sequences from URL parameters, making it prone to directory traversal attacks. The attacker may submit a web request which is capable of breaking out of the webroot directory, effectively allowing the attacker to browse the filesystem at large. An attacker can exploit this condition to disclose the contents of arbitrary web-readable files or potentially add a DSN (Data Source Number) to an arbitrary directory.
