Description: A vulnerability was reported in PowerLock NetworkSecurity. A remote authenticated user can bypass certain FTP access controls to access restricted AS/400 objects.
The software does not properly parse user-supplied requests in making access control decisions. As a result, a remote authenticated
user can supply a specially crafted request to bypass PowerLock NetworkSecurity FTP access restrictions and access potentially restricted
files on the target AS/400 system.
Some demonstration exploit requests are provided:
