Groupwise is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Remote attackers can use specially crafted requests with directory- traversal sequences ('../') to retrieve arbitrary files in the context of the application. Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks. Groupwise versions 8.0x through 8.02 HP3 are affected.

Vendor updates are available. Please see the references for more information.
