such is vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability.

Immune Systems:
* Management Server version 6.6.0.5.0
* Management Server Base version 6.6.0.5.0
* Windows Management Server version 6.6.0.5.0

Exploitation of a directory traversal vulnerability in EMC Navisphere
Manager could allow an attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the
system running Navisphere Manager as well as retrieve directory listings.

The following request can be used to retrieve the Navisphere Manager log
file, which often contains the administrative password in plain-text:
http://vulnerable/../../../../../../../EMC/NAVISPHERE/common/log/navimon.log

Another flaw allows a user to list the contents of arbitrary directories
by simply appending a '.' to the end of a request.

Workaround:
Limit access to the Navisphere Manager server to only trusted hosts by
limiting access to trusted users only on TCP port 80.

Vendor Status:

Management Server (r), for which an update has been issued. In these
updated versions, HTTP validation is implemented. Attempts to traverse
the file system by way of a URL (e.g., "../../..") are detected and such
requests are rejected with the following error:
