A directory traversal vulnerability in Valve Counter-Strike 8684 allows a client (with remote control access to a game server) to read arbitrary files from the underlying server via the motdfile console variable.
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.
