Directory traversal vulnerability in the web server in Cogent DataHub 7.1.1.63 and earlier allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..\ (dot dot backslash) in an HTTP request.
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.
