Attackers can send GET requests to /systemController/showOrDownByurl.do with ../ sequences in dbPath, which bypasses AuthInterceptor, to retrieve files like win.ini. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-17.","summary":"JeeWMS before commit 0a610e8 has a path traversal flaw in the dbPath parameter of a GET endpoint, and it skips the login check.
