Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions nweb2fax versions 0.2.7 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files due to multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities. This can be achieved by including a .. (dot dot) in the id parameter to "comm.php" or the var filename parameter to "viewrq.php".

Recommendations For nweb2fax versions 0.2.7 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "comm.php" and "viewrq.php" scripts until a patch is available. Avoid using the id and var filename parameters in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
