Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.117224
Category:Web Servers
Title:'/WEB-INF/' Information Disclosure Vulnerability (HTTP)
Summary:Various application or web servers / products are prone to an; information disclosure vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Various application or web servers / products are prone to an
information disclosure vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The servlet specification prohibits servlet containers from
serving resources in the '/WEB-INF' and '/META-INF' directories of a web application archive
directly to clients.

This means that URLs like:

http://example.com/WEB-INF/web.xml

will return an error message, rather than the contents of the deployment descriptor.

However, some application or web servers / products are prone to a vulnerability that still
exposes this information if the client requests the URL directly.

Vulnerability Impact:
Based on the information provided in this file an attacker might
be able to gather additional info and / or sensitive data about the application / the application
/ web server.

Affected Software/OS:
The following products are known to be affected:

- Grails Resources plugin 1.0.0 to 1.2.5 as used in Grails 2.0.0 to 2.3.6.

- Novell Web Manager on Novell NetWare 6.5.

Other products might be affected as well.

Solution:
The following vendor fixes are known:

- Update the Grails Resources plug-in to 1.2.6 or later.

- Update Novell Web Manager to Support Pack 2 (NW6.5 SP2) or later.

For other products please contact the vendor for more information on possible fixes.
