The directory specifier can include designators that can be used to traverse the directory path. Exploiting this vulnerability may enable an attacker to access a limited number of hardcoded file types. Further exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause the web server component to enter a denial-of-service condition.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Cogent DataHub before 7.3.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files of unspecified types, or cause a web-server denial of service, via a crafted pathname.
