A problem with Web Filter may allow attackers to obtain access to sensitive files
Web Filter is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack due to insufficient sanitization of '.../' sequences. This allows an attacker to access sensitive files on the server. For example, the above URL can be used to execute the 'dir' command on the Windows system.
Mitigation:
Ensure that all user input is properly sanitized and validated.
