  SimpleCam Directory Traversal
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

" <http://www.deadpirate.com/> SimpleCam is an easy to use webcam software 
product. It is designed for people who want to stream live video from 
their computers without paying a fortune or signing up for a service."

The web server supplied with SimpleCam is vulnerable to a directory 
traversal vulnerability, allowing unauthorized access to systems 
information outside of web folder.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * SimpleCam version 1.2 and prior

Immune Systems:
 * SimpleCam version 1.3

The program has a built-in web server that is not able to manage patterns 
like "..\" into the HTTP request. Therefore, an attacker can go out of the 
document root assigned to the web server and see/download all the files 
available on the remote machine.

To test the vulnerability, try accessing the following URL:
http://[host]/..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\windows\system.ini
