Sitecore Staging Module lets attackers upload or download files

CVE-2009-4367 · published 16 years ago
Summary

The Staging web service in Sitecore Staging Module versions up to 5.4.0 rev.080625 can be tricked into thinking a user is logged in. This lets a remote attacker add, retrieve, list, or delete files on the server and clear its cache. Apply the vendor’s patch or upgrade to a later version to close the gap.
