What is CVE-2017-16596?

This vulnerability enables remote attackers to disclose sensitive information from vulnerable installations of NetGain Systems Enterprise Manager. Although exploiting this vulnerability typically necessitates some authentication, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed. The flaw resides in the org.apache.jsp.u.jsp.designer.script_005fsamples_jsp servlet, which typically listens on TCP port 8081. When receiving input, improper validation of user-supplied paths may occur when processing the type parameter, allowing attackers to potentially access restricted files. This vulnerability could be leveraged in association with other weaknesses, enabling code execution in the context of an Administrator.
