Multiple Unauthenticated Directory Traversal

The unauthenticated Directory Traversal vulnerability can be exploited by issuing a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /webmail/client/skins/default/css/css.php.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the web server is configured to restrict access to sensitive files and directories.

#Proof of Concept

The unauthenticated Directory Traversal vulnerability can be exploited by
issuing a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the
/webmail/client/skins/default/css/css.php. Directory Traversal is a
vulnerability which allows attackers to access restricted directories and
execute commands outside of the web server's root directory.

This vulnerability affects /-.._._.--.._1416610368(variable, depending on
the installation, need to check page
source)/webmail/client/skins/default/css/css.php.

Attack details
URL GET input file was set to ../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd

Proof-of-Concept:

The GET or POST request might be sent to the host A.B.C.D where the IceWarp mail server is running:

#Proof of Concept

The unauthenticated Directory Traversal vulnerability can be exploited by
issuing a specially crafted HTTP GET and POST request payload
..././..././..././..././..././..././..././..././..././..././etc/shadow
submitted in the script and/or style parameter.  Directory Traversal is a
vulnerability which allows attackers to access restricted directories and
execute commands outside of the web server's root directory.

The script and style parameters are vulnerable to path traversal attacks,
enabling read access to arbitrary files on the server.
