The web server fails to sanitize the input data allowing a remote authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the system. By manipulating the resource name in the GET requests referring to files with absolute paths, it is possible to access arbitrary files stored on the filesystem, including application source code, configuration files and critical system files.
