Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: htDig versions 3.2 beta, 3.1.6, 3.1.5, and earlier

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to determine the physical path of the server by requesting a non-existent configuration file using the config parameter. This generates an error message that includes the full path.

Recommendations: For versions 3.2 beta, 3.1.6, 3.1.5, and earlier, consider restricting access to the config parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the config parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
