Yaws 1.91 has a directory traversal vulnerability in the way certain URLs are processed. A remote authenticated user could use this flaw to obtain content of arbitrary local files via specially-crafted URL 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.
