- Description:
####################
Web Wiz Forums bulletin board system is the ideal forum package for your website's community.

####################
- Vulnerability:
####################
Input passed to the FolderName parameter in "RTE_file_browser.asp" and "file_browser.asp" are not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to list directories, list txt and list zip files through directory traversal attacks. Also, "RTE_file_browser.asp" does not check user's session and an unauthenticated attacker can perform this attack.

-POC:
http://[WebWiz Forum]/RTE_file_browser.asp?look=&sub=\.....\\\.....\\\.....\\\


####################
- Fast Solution :
####################
You can see below lines in "RTE_file_browser.asp" and "file_browser.asp"

        'Stip path tampering for security reasons
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "../", "", 1, -1, 1)
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "..\", "", 1, -1, 1)
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "./", "", 1, -1, 1)
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, ".\", "", 1, -1, 1)

Only add this to them:
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "/", "\", 1, -1, 1)
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "\\", "\", 1, -1, 1)
        strSubFolderName = Replace(strSubFolderName, "..", "", 1, -1, 1)
