1. Description:

Vendor's Description:

"A FREE multi-window Web Browser with a built-in Web Server."

2. The bug:
------------

The program by default has some checks to avoid malicious patterns
like "/../" into http requests, but it doesn't manage patterns like:
"\..\", "../" or "/.../".

So an attacker is able to see and download all the files on the remote
system simply using a browser.

3. The code:
-------------

To test the vulnerability:

http://[host]/.../.../.../.../.../.../windows/system.ini

or:

http://[host]/..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\windows/system.ini
