A directory traversal vulnerability in Oxygen XML Web Author before 25.0.0.3 build 2023021715 and Oxygen Content Fusion before 5.0.3 build 2023022015 allows an attacker to read files from a WEB-INF directory via a crafted HTTP request. (XML Web Author 24.1.0.3 build 2023021714 and 23.1.1.4 build 2023021715 are also fixed versions.)
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.
