Directory traversal vulnerability in web_client_user_guide.html in Accellion Secure File Transfer Appliance before 8_0_105 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the lang parameter.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
