Summary

Caucho Resin contains a path traversal vulnerability in the documentation webapp (resin-doc) that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a relative path through the inputFile request parameter of the jndi-appconfig tutorial servlet. Attackers can craft requests with directory traversal sequences to read files outside the intended tutorial directory.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could access sensitive system files, potentially leading to data leakage and security compromise.

Recommendation

Upgrade Caucho Resin to a patched version or restrict access to the resin-doc application.
