CVE-1999-0915

Summary

CVE-1999-0915 is a vulnerability affecting the URL Live! web server. This issue allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files on the server by using a ".." (dot dot) technique in URL requests. This vulnerability can potentially expose sensitive information stored on the affected system. Attackers can exploit this weakness to gain unauthorized access to data, leading to potential security breaches. The ".." attack method takes advantage of the server's directory traversal feature, enabling the bypass of intended access restrictions. To mitigate this risk, administrators should patch their URL Live! web servers or implement appropriate access control measures.
