Descriptions

Directory traversal may lead to files being exfiltrated or deleted on the GE MDS PulseNET and MDS PulseNET Enterprise version 3.2.1 and prior host platform.

Un salto de directorio podría conducir a que los archivos se exfiltren o eliminen de GE MDS PulseNET y MDS PulseNET Enterprise en versiones 3.2.1 y anteriores.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of GE MDS PulseNET. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
The specific flaw exists within the FileServlet servlet. When parsing the name parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information under the context of the current service.
