NetProxy 4.03 Vulnerability
Sending a specially crafted request to the NetProxy proxy server allows users to view restricted web content and bypass the logging feature. By sending a request without 'http://' in the URL, users can access blocked URLs and avoid being logged. The exploit code is provided in the text.
Mitigation:
There is no easy fix for this security hole as the application automatically prepends 'http://' to every URL in the block list. Implementing a stronger content filtering mechanism or using a different proxy server may help mitigate this vulnerability.
