Miva’s htmlscript CGI Program Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Miva's htmlscript CGI program provides a unique scripting language with HTML type tags. Versions of the htmlscript interpreter (a CGI script) prior to 2.9932 are vulnerable to a file reading directory traversal attack using relative paths (eg., "../../../../../../etc/passwd"). An attacker need only append this path as a variable passed to the script via a URL. The contents of any file to which the web server process has read access can be retrieved using this method.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of Miva's htmlscript interpreter.
