CVE-2014-2232
===================
"Absolute Path Traversal" (CWE-36) vulnerability in "infoware MapSuite"

Vendor

Affected versions

Reported by
===================

following a responsible disclosure process.

Severity
===================
Critical

Exploitability
===================
No authentication required

Description
===================
It is possible to traverse the server's filesystem (including listing of directory 
contents) and read files from the server's filesystem using a specially crafted URL 
to access the MapAPI. This enables attackers to get hold of sensitive files from the 
server containing passwords, configuration, source code, etc.

Due to the responsible disclosure process chosen and to not harm unpatched systems, 
no concrete exploit code will be presented in this advisory.

MapSuite MapAPI 1.1.x users should upgrade to 1.1.49 or later as soon as possible.
