Title:	Cognos Powerplay WE Vulnerability
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The CGI script ppdscgi.exe, part of the PowerPlay Web Edition package, is installed. Due to design problems as well as some potential web server misconfiguration PowerPlay Web Edition may serve up data cubes in a non-secure manner. Execution of the PowerPlay CGI pulls cube data into files in an unprotected temporary directory. Those files are then fed back to frames in the browser. In some cases it is trivial for an unauthenticated user to tap into those data files before they are purged. Solution : Cognos doesn't consider this problem as being an issue, so they do not provide any solution. Risk factor : Medium
