Operating System: Nostromo 1.x
Description:
RedTeam Pentesting has discovered a vulnerability in Nostromo, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose system information and compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed via the URL is not properly verified before being used to display files. This can be exploited to disclose the contents of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.
NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists due to accessed executable files being treated as CGI scripts, which allows execution of arbitrary shell commands when combined with the directory traversal attack.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.9.3. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Fixed in the SVN repository.
