This vulnerability stems from a lack of sufficient validation of user-supplied input. The flaw allows authenticated users to access all files on the target machine file system that are readable to the user account used to run the httpd service. This means that a malicious authenticated user could potentially download all readable files on the system via HTTP requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3837227454\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>The vulnerability might be exploited using a crafted HTTP request like the one below:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">GET \/..\/..\/..\/etc\/passwd HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nAuthorization: Basic [Base64-encoded-credentials]<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the &#8220;GET&#8221; request attempts to traverse the file system to reach the &#8220;\/etc\/passwd&#8221; file, a common target for attacks due to its sensitive content.
