Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wowza Streaming Engine versions prior to 4.9.1

Description The issue is related to a path traversal vulnerability in the Manager component of Wowza Streaming Engine. This vulnerability allows an administrator user to delete any directory on the file system if the target directory contains an XML definition file. The vulnerability is associated with incorrect restriction of the directory path name with limited access. Exploitation of the vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to gain access to delete directories.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.9.1, update to version 4.9.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Manager component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the Manager component to delete directories that contain XML definition files until the issue is resolved.
