Authenticated file disclosure via dot-dot traversal
Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Feb 27, 2025
Path traversal in IBM EntireX 11.1 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary system files via crafted URL requests. The affected URL request handler accepts dot-dot path sequences without confining file resolution to an authorized directory, although IBM has not identified the specific component or function. A valid authenticated session is required, and the reported consequence is file disclosure without file modification or service interruption.
