Secure Computing SnapGear Management Console SG560 3.1.5 – Arbitrary File Read

The application allows the currently logged-in user to edit the configuration files in the system using the CGI executable 'edit_config_files' in /cgi-bin/cgix/. The files that are allowed to be modified (read/write/delete) are located in the /etc/config/ directory. An attacker can manipulate the POST request parameters to escape from the restricted environment by using absolute path and start reading, writing and deleting arbitrary files on the system.

Mitigation:

Restrict access to the application and limit the privileges of the user to only the necessary ones.
