Discussion

Play! Framework Directory Traversal Vulnerability

The Play! Framework is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Remote attackers can use a specially crafted request with directory-traversal sequences to read arbitrary files in the context of the user running the affected application. Information obtained could aid in further attacks.

Play! 1.0.3.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
