A path traversal vulnerability may impact IBM Curam Social Program Management 7.0.9 and 7.0.10, which could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially-crafted file path in URL request to view arbitrary files on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 189154.
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.
