Vulnerable System:   
  
MediaPartner 5.0  
  
Vulnerability Title:   
  
Directory Traversal Vulnerability and Cross Site Scripting Issue  
  
Vulnerability discovery and development:   
  
Portcullis Security Testing Service  
  
Affected systems:   
  
Emotion MediaPartner Web Server Version 5.0 (5.1 not confirmed)  
  
Details:  
  
The MediaPartner 5.0 web-server is vulnerable to directory  
traversal. By specifying an HTTP request containing the string  
'../' an attacker can gain access to files outside of the intended  
web-published file system directory.  
  
The directory-browsing page generated by the directory traversal  
vulnerability is vulnerable to URL cross-site scripting  
vulnerability.  
  
  
Impact:  
  
This allows an attacker to gain access to any file on the drive the  
web-published file system is installed to.  
  
An attacker can craft a URL that contains malicious code. When a  
victim follows the URL the malicious code is executed by their  
browser.  
  
  
Exploit:  
  
No exploit Code required. Examples: http://target_ip/../../../boot.ini  
http://target_ip/../../<script>alert(.portcullis.)</script>../../
