Path Traversal in the Manager component of Wowza Streaming Engine below 4.9.1 allows an administrator user to delete any directory on the file system if the target directory contains an XML definition file.
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.
