IBM Sterling External Authentication Server 3.4.3.2, 6.0.2.0, and 6.0.3.0 is vulnerable to path traversals, due to not properly validating RESTAPI configuration data. An authorized user could import invalid data which could be used for an attack. IBM X-Force ID: 220144.
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.
