SQL-Ledger userpath and memberfile parameters directory traversal
| sqlledger-userpathmemberfile-dir-traversal (32776) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
SQL-Ledger could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially-crafted request to the application containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) in the userpath or memberfile parameter to view or overwrite files, which could be exploited to execute arbitrary Perl code on the system.
Note: LedgerSMB is also affected by this vulnerability.
