Title: Compaq Web-Based Management Agent Remote File Verification Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Web-Based Management Agent is the remote system management software package distributed by Compaq. It is available for the Microsoft Windows platform.
Compaq Web-Based Management Agent has been reported vulnerable to a remote file verification vulnerability. This information leak could be exploited by an attacker to verify the existence of sensitive files on a vulnerable system.
The problem is in the handling of input when passed via the following means:
http://www.example.com:2301/<!.DebugSearchPaths>?Url=%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fboot.ini
As can be ascertained from the above URL, passing directory traversal strings in the dot-dot-slash form (../) with encoded slashes can permit the attacker to access a file on the vulnerable system. If the file exists, the Web-Based Management Agent returns a response that validates the existence of the file.
It should be noted that this BID was previously part of BID 8009, which addressed multiple issues.
Affected Products:
- Compaq Web-Based Management Agent 0.0.0
