Fix not verifiedSolarWinds Serv-U contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows an attacker access to read sensitive files on the host machine.
SolarWinds Serv-U contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows an attacker access to read sensitive files on the host machine.
Attacker-controlled path data is not constrained to the intended directory before the application accesses a file.
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'). The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
