Zope docutils information disclosure
| zope-docutils-information-disclosure (27636) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Zope could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the docutils module when parsing and rendering text by the "raw" reStructuredText function. A remote attacker could create a Web page with restructured text to view arbitrary files or possibly execute code on the target system, if the attacker could persuade the victim to visit the malicious Web page.
