Xymon · Xymon · CVE-2013-4173
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Xymon versions prior to 4.3.12
**Description**
A directory traversal issue exists in the trend-data daemon (xymond rrd) of Xymon, allowing remote attackers to delete arbitrary files by including a .. (dot dot) in the host name within a "drophost" command.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 4.3.12, update to version 4.3.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "drophost" command to minimize the risk of exploitation.
