Technical details

A directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in Follett Software's Destiny Library Manager version 22.0.2_rc1. The flaw is located within the handling of the 'image' parameter, where the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in file path operations. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by submitting a crafted URL containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access files outside of the intended web directory. This allows for the unauthorized retrieval of sensitive system and application configuration files. The issue is addressed in version 22.5 AU1.
