Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2017-10-03 01:29 - Updated: 2025-04-20 01:37
Severity ?
4.9 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
The 'Upload logo from external path' function of SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor version 12.0.15300.90 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (permanent display of a "Cannot exit above the top directory" error message throughout the entire web application) via a ".." in the path field. In other words, the denial of service is caused by an incorrect implementation of a directory-traversal protection mechanism.
