IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7 could allow an authenticated privileged user to obtain the absolute path of the web server installation which could aid in further attacks against the system. IBM X-Force ID: 275777.

Weakness

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as “/abs/path” that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
