Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: ScreamingMedia SITEWare versions 2.5 through 3.1

Description: The issue allows a remote attacker to read world-readable files via a .. (dot dot) attack. This can be achieved through two methods: (1) the SITEWare Editor's Desktop or (2) the template parameter in the "SWEditServlet" endpoint.

Recommendations: For versions 2.5 through 3.1, consider restricting access to the SWEditServlet endpoint and the SITEWare Editor's Desktop to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the template parameter in the SWEditServlet endpoint until the issue is resolved.
