CVE-2017-8794: SSRF

First published: Fri May 05 2017(Updated: )

An issue was discovered on Accellion FTA devices before FTA_9_12_180. Because a regular expression (intended to match local https URLs) lacks an initial ^ character, courier/web/1000@/wmProgressval.html allows SSRF attacks with a file:///etc/passwd#https:// URL pattern.
