Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: BearShare versions 4.0.5 through 4.0.6

Description: A directory traversal issue allows remote attackers to read files outside of the web root by hex-encoding the "/" (forward slash) or "." (dot) characters.

Recommendations: For versions 4.0.5 and 4.0.6, consider restricting access to sensitive files and directories until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using hex-encoded "/" or "." characters in file paths to minimize the risk of exploitation.
