Id Description
72760 AnyMacro Mail System Web Interface Unspecified Traversal Arbitrary File Access

AnyMacro Mail System contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the web interface not properly sanitizing certain unspecified user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) . This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to read arbitrary files.
