Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NetGain Systems Enterprise Manager version 7.2.730 build 1034

Description This issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. Authentication is not required to exploit this issue. The flaw exists within the processing of WRQ requests, specifically when parsing the Filename field, which does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations.
