Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions AlienVault Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) versions prior to 2.1.5-4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to upload files into arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in the id document parameter. This is a result of a directory traversal vulnerability in the repository/repository attachment.php file.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.1.5-4, update to version 2.1.5-4 or later to resolve the issue.
