IBM Navigator for i 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 could allow an authenticated user to access the file system and download files they are authorized to but not while using this interface. The remote authenticated user can bypass the interface checks by modifying a parameter thereby gaining access to their files through this interface. IBM X-Force ID: 239303.
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.
