Severity =================== High Description =================== Using specially crafted requests to access the web interface of JobScheduler it is possible as an underprivileged user ("info" permission) to list directories and read contents of (sensitive) files from the installation of the JobScheduler web interface, which includes datasource configurations (for example hibernate.cfg.xml and sos_settings.ini) as well as permission config files (scheduler.xml). These can include passwords, depending on which auth backend was defined. This can also be misused to escalate to the higher "all" permission from the lower "info" permission.
