Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
PNETLab version 4.2.10
Description:
The issue arises from the application's failure to properly sanitize user inputs in its file access mechanisms, allowing attackers to perform directory traversal by manipulating file paths in HTTP requests. This enables access to sensitive files outside the intended directory.
Recommendations:
For PNETLab version 4.2.10, consider implementing proper input sanitation for file access mechanisms to prevent directory traversal attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
