A Directory Traversal attack (also known as path traversal) aims to access files and directories that are stored outside the intended folder. By manipulating files with "dot-dot-slash (../)" sequences and its variations, or by using absolute file paths, it may be possible to access arbitrary files and directories stored on file system, including application source code, configuration, and other critical system files.

A flaw was found in codehaus-plexus. The org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml.XmlWriterUtil#writeComment fails to sanitize comments for a --> sequence. This issue means that text contained in the command string could be interpreted as XML and allow for XML injection.
Apache Ant is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-memory error when large amounts of memory are allocated. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted TAR archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
Apache Ant is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-memory error when large amounts of memory are allocated. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted ZIP archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
Apache Ant could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an insecure temporary file flaw. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject modified source files into the build process.
jrburke requirejs could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a prototype pollution in the function s.contexts..configure. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP3 and IBM Controller 11.1.0
is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability allows users to embed arbitrary JavaScript code in the Web UI thus altering the intended functionality potentially leading to credentials disclosure within a trusted session.
IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP3 and IBM Controller 11.1.0
is vulnerable to unrestricted deserialization. This vulnerability allows users to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or cause denial of service attacks by exploiting the unrestricted deserialization of types in the application.
IBM Cognos Controller 11.0.0 through 11.0.1 FP3 and IBM Controller 11.1.0 Rich Client
uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information.
