Title: 12Planet Chat Server Error Message Installation Path Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

12Planet Chat Server is web forum software that runs on Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and HP UNIX.

When certain malformed URL requests are received by the chat server, an error message is returned containing the full path of the chat server's installation. The URL must contain at least three '/qwe' sequences in order to generate this error message. ie. http://www.victim.com:8080/qwe/qwe/qwe/index.html

If the URL does not contain at least three '/qwe' sequences, a simple HTTP 500 error message will be returned to the remote user.

Affected Products:

  • 12Planet Chat Server 2.5.0
