HTTP: Microsoft IIS UNC Path Disclosure Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft IIS. Attackers can bypass security restrictions and obtain the real pathname of the document root by requesting non-existent files with .ida, .idq or .htx extensions.
Extended Description
IDQ, IDA, and HTX files cannot be served from a network share. If a website is set up in this manner, and a user clicks on a link that links to one of these files, the share path will be disclosed to the user in the resulting error message.
