The remote host appears to be running a BasiliX version 1.1.0 or lower. Such versions save attachments by default under ‘/tmp/BasiliX’, which is world-readable and apparently never emptied by BasiliX itself. As a result, anyone with shell access on the affected system or who can place CGI files on it can access attachments uploaded to BasiliX.
