Oracle 9iAS _pages Directory Compiled JSP Source Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 10852

Language:

Synopsis

Sensitive data may be read on the remote host.

Description

In a default installation of Oracle 9iAS it is possible to read the source of JSP files. When a JSP is requested it is compiled 'on the fly' and the resulting HTML page is returned to the user. Oracle 9iAS uses a folder to hold the intermediate files during compilation. These files are created in the same folder in which the .JSP page resides. Hence, it is possible to access the .java and compiled .class files for a given JSP page.

Solution

Edit httpd.conf to disallow access to the _pages folder.
