WebGlimpse Directory Traversal Vulnerability

WebGlimpse is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Remote attackers can use specially crafted requests with directory-traversal sequences ('../') to retrieve arbitrary files in the context of the application. Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks.
