WebAdmin logfile_view.wdm and configfile_view.wdm directory traversal
| webadmin-multiple-directory-traversal (28488) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
WebAdmin could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. A remote attacker with global administrative privileges could send a specially-crafted URL request to the logfile_view.wdm or configfile_view.wdm script containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) in the file parameter to traverse directories and view arbitrary files on the system.
