IronMail IronWebMail IM_FILE Identifier Encoded Traversal Arbitrary File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22901

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is prone to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The remote host appears to be an IronMail appliance, which is intended to protect enterprise-class email servers from spam, viruses, and hackers.

The webmail component of the remote IronMail device does not properly validate pathname references included in a URL before using them to return the contents of files on the remote host. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this flaw to read arbitrary files and directories on the remote host.

Solution

Upgrade to Ironmail version 6.1.1 as necessary and install HotFix-17, as described in the vendor advisory referenced above.
