CWE-22

Description

ESAPI (The OWASP Enterprise Security API) is a free, open source, web application security control library. Prior to version 2.3.0.0, the default implementation of `Validator.getValidDirectoryPath(String, String, File, boolean)` may incorrectly treat the tested input string as a child of the specified parent directory. This potentially could allow control-flow bypass checks to be defeated if an attack can specify the entire string representing the 'input' path. This vulnerability is patched in release 2.3.0.0 of ESAPI. As a workaround, it is possible to write one's own implementation of the Validator interface. However, maintainers do not recommend this.

Affected configurations

• owasp enterprise security api (< 2.3.0.0) • oracle weblogic server 12.2.1.3.0 • oracle weblogic server 12.2.1.4.0 • oracle weblogic server 14.1.1.0.0 • netapp active iq unified manager • netapp oncommand workflow automation
