CVE-2017-16248
HighSummary
The Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple module before 0.34 for Perl allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files if there is a '.' character anywhere in the pathname, which differs from the intended policy of allowing access only when the filename itself has a '.' character.
Risk Assessment
Attackers may gain access to sensitive data on the server, potentially leading to serious security breaches and data loss.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple module to version 0.34 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
