Path Traversal occurrences in Aura Conferencing

A directory traversal vulnerability has been found in the Avaya Equinox Management(iView)versions R9.1.9.0 and earlier. Successful exploitation could potentially allow an unauthenticated attacker to access files that are outside the restricted directory on the remote server. (2020-02-28, CVE-2019-7007)

Why Path Traversal can be dangerous

Relative Path Confusion means that your web server is configured to serve responses to ambiguous URLs. This configuration can possibly cause confusion about the correct relative path for the URL. It is also an issue of resources, such as images, styles etc., which are specified in the response using relative path, not the absolute URL.

If the web browser permits to parse "cross-content" response, the attacker may be able to fool the web browser into interpreting HTML into other content types, which can then lead to a cross site scripting attack (link do XSS).
