CGI::Session 'CGISESSID' Cookie Value Directory Traversal Vulnerability

CGI::Session is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data.

Exploiting the issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.

CGI::Session 3.94, 3.95, and 4.33 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
