Descriptions

Multiple absolute path traversal vulnerabilities in certain ActiveX controls in WatchFire AppScan 7.0 allow remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a full pathname in the argument to the (1) CompactSave and (2) SaveSession method in one control, and the (3) saveRecordedExploreToFile method in a different control. NOTE: this can be leveraged for code execution by writing to a Startup folder.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de salto de ruta absoluta en determinados controles ActiveX en WatchFire AppScan 7.0, permiten a atacantes remotos crear o sobrescribir ficheros de su elección mediante un nombre de ruta completo en el argumento de los métodos (1) CompactSave y (2) SaveSession en un control, y (3) saveRecordedExploreToFile de otro control. NOTA: esto puede aprovecharse para ejecutar código escribiendo en una carpeta Startup.
