Bug not affectedQuiXplorer 2.3.1 and newer
Bug vulnerability classMissing Authentication
Bug descriptionThe remote host is running the QuiXplorer CGI suite, a file managerfor websites written in PHP. There is a floaw in the remote version of this CGI which makes it vulnerable to a directory traversal bug. This could, for instance, lead to an attacker downloading the /etc/passwd file.
Bug solutionUpgrade to QuiXplorer 2.3.1 or newer. The server should be deactivated or de-installed if not necessary. To make it harder to find the server the daemon could be configured to listen at another port (e.g. 8081). Try to prevent unwanted connection attempts by filtering traffic with firewalling. Alternation of the application banner can confuse an attacker and let him determine the wrong software.
