Discussion
Miniwebsvr Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Miniwebsvr is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to retrieve arbitrary files from the vulnerable system in the context of the affected application. Information obtained may aid in further attacks.
Note that the attacker can traverse to only one directory above the current working directory of the webserver application.
Miniwebsvr 0.0.7 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
UPDATE (March 4, 2008): Miniwebsvr 0.0.9a is also reported vulnerable.
