DESCRIPTION:
RedTeam Pentesting has discovered a vulnerability in Nostromo, which
can be exploited by malicious people to disclose system information
and compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed via the URL is not properly verified before being used
to display files. This can be exploited to disclose the contents of
arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.

NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists due to accessed executable
files being treated as CGI scripts, which allows execution of
arbitrary shell commands when combined with the directory traversal
attack.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.9.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
RedTeam Pentesting
