Simple Web Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability
It has been reported that Simple Web Server fails to properly sanitize web requests. By sending a malicious web request to the vulnerable server, using directory traversal sequences, it is possible for a remote attacker to access sensitive resources located outside of the web root.
Mitigation:
Ensure that web requests are properly sanitized and that directory traversal sequences are not allowed.
