W3Mail File Disclosure Vulnerability
Versions of W3Mail 1.0.6 and greater are susceptible to a file disclosure vulnerability. To view attachments, the script "viewAttachment.cgi" accepts the parameter "file". The value of this parameter is passed to the open() function as the filename argument without being sanitized. Attackers may cause any file on the filesystem to open by specifying its relative path using directory traversal characters.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is not used to access files outside of the intended directory.
