Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mongoose versions 2.8.0 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain the source code for a web page by appending ::$DATA to the URI. This could potentially expose sensitive information.

Recommendations For versions 2.8.0 and earlier, consider restricting access to sensitive web pages until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the ::$DATA appending mechanism to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
