SolutionScripts Home Free search.cgi Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Home Free is a suite of Perl cgi scripts that allow a website to support user contributions of various types. One of the scripts, search.cgi, accepts a parameter called letter which can be any text string. The supplied argument can contain the '../' string, which the script will process. This can be used to obtain directory listings and the first line of files outside of the intended web filesystem.
