Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-11196:
-----------------------------------------

BTW I wrote above
bq. These are not really path traversal issues.
It's true for https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/ViewFile?fileName=/etc/passwd
but not for https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/FetchLogs?logFileName=/etc/passwd
because there the runtime log dir is used. Anyway the fixes are still valid and
bq. We can't solve them using the traditional way to fix path traversal issues (ie normalising path).
is also valid.

> This was reported to the OFBiz security team by Jason Nordenstam from offensive-security.com. We did not consider it as a real security issue because it requires authentication.

> Authenticated users can use the Fetch Logs functionality to view arbitrary files on the host OS by modifying the "logFileName" parameter.
> While the web application submits the affected URL as a POST request, it can be converted to a GET for ease of use.
> Affected URLs:
> /webtools/control/FetchLogs?logFileName
> /webtools/control/ViewFile?fileName
> Screenshots:
