Path Traversal occurrences in Video Management System
Revisor Video Management System (VMS) before 2.0.0 has a directory traversal vulnerability. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to traverse the file system to access files or directories that are outside of restricted directory on the remote server. This could lead to the disclosure of sensitive data on the vulnerable server. (2021-10-19, CVE-2021-42261)
A Path Traversal vulnerability located in the webserver affects several Bosch hardware and software products.

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).
