IBM InfoPrint 4247-Z03 Impact Matrix Printer – Directory Traversal
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in IBM InfoPrint 4247-Z03 Impact Matrix Printer, which allows an attacker to access sensitive files outside of the web root directory. This vulnerability is due to the application not properly sanitizing user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal characters. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to access sensitive files outside of the web root directory.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks. All user-supplied input should be validated and filtered for malicious characters. Additionally, access to sensitive files should be restricted to only those users who need access.
