Pacific Software Carello File Duplication and Source Disclosure Vulnerability

Released May 24, 2000

Affects Pacific Software Carello 1.2.1

Reference http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1245

Problem

- A remote user can gain read and write access on a target machine running Carello shopping cart

software.

- A user may create a duplicate of a known file in a known directory on the target host through

add.exe in /scripts/Carello.

- Accessing http://target/scripts/Carello/add.exe?C:\directory\filename.ext will generate a duplicate

file with a "1" appended to the filename (eg. filename.ext1). From here, the remote user would

perform a http request of the newly created duplicate file and be able to view the contents of it.

- This vulnerability depends on the anonymous internet account having write access to the relevant

directories.

SAFER

- Disable access to sensitive directories for the anonymous internet account.
