**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SmarterMail version 7.1.3876
**Description**
A directory traversal issue exists, allowing remote attackers to read arbitrary files. This is achieved by manipulating the `name` parameter with specific sequences, including (1) ../ (dot dot slash), (2) %5C (encoded backslash), or (3) %255c (double-encoded backslash).
**Recommendations**
For SmarterMail version 7.1.3876, consider restricting access to the FileStorageUpload.ashx handler until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `name` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
