Absolute path traversal (incorrect restriction of a path to a restricted directory) vulnerability in the EasyPHP web server, affecting version 14.1. This vulnerability could allow remote users to bypass SecurityManager restrictions and retrieve any file stored on the server by setting only consecutive strings ‘/...%5c’.
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.
