Rejetto HTTP File Server Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Template Engine Vulnerability
Rejetto · HTTP File Server
A template injection flaw in Rejetto HTTP File Server, affecting versions up to and including 2.3m, lets its template engine process attacker-supplied input as code. An remote, unauthenticated attacker needs only network access to the server and can send a specially crafted HTTP request, with no user interaction or special configuration required, to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system.
Rejetto HTTP File Server, up to and including version 2.3m, is vulnerable to a template injection vulnerability. This vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. As of the CVE assignment date, Rejetto HFS 2.3m is no longer supported.
