CVE-2017-20284
NVD: Caucho Resin contains a path traversal vulnerability in the documentation webapp (resin-doc) that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a relative path through the inputFile request parameter of the jndi-appconfig... NVD: Attackers can craft requests with directory traversal sequences to the servlet endpoint to read files outside the intended tutorial directory on the underlying system. NVD: Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2021-12-10.
