2. VULNERABILITY INFORMATION

Class: Directory traversal

Impact: read file from system

Remotely Exploitable: yes

Locally Exploitable: yes


CVSS Information

CVSS Base Score v3:   4.3 / 10

CVSS Base Vector:

AV : Attack Vector (Related exploit range) Network (N)

AC : Attack Complexity (Required attack complexity) Low (L)

PR : Privileges Required (Level of privileges needed to exploit) Low (L)

UI : User Interaction (Required user participation) None (N)

the vulnerable component) Unchanged (U)

C : Impact to Confidentiality Low (L)

I : Impact to Integrity None (N)

A : Impact to Availability None (N)



3. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION

The code provides access to the file specified after the READ DATASET
statement. The variable transmitted to the input of the statement is
entered in it by user input. Thus, the user can access the files
stored on the operating system. This vulnerability is called a
Directory Traversal.

The attack is possible if the application does not check the user data
and does not delete special characters used for a directory traversal
attack from the variable, in which the filename is passed. As a
result, an attacker can read data from all files, to which the
application has access.

To discover this vulnerability, data flow analysis and other unique
techniques are used.
