PaperThin CommonSpot Content Server 4.5 and earlier allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an invalid errmsg parameter to loader.cfm with a url parameter set to email-login-info.cfm, which leaks the full pathname in the resulting error message.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2005-4575 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
