    These vulnerabilities were found / tested on:
    
    WebCollection Plus (TM)
    Copyright 2001 Follett Software Company
    Version 5.00
    Revision 12-01-A Dec 19 2001
    
    Program protects from reading other non-webserver accessible files by
    checking for a : or excessive .'s in a string. If the URL has a / at the
    beginning, it has the affect of reading from C:\ for example, to read
    C:\bootlog.txt the URL to use is something like
    http://vulnerableserver/wx/s.dll?d=/bootlog.txt
    
    Found the latest version revision is 5.05, but could not find a 5.05
    copy to test on.
    
    Manufacturer of program was contacted by Phone, and the vulnerability was
    reported to them. Follet Software has not replied concerning not being
    submitted to bugtraq, so I have to assume they do not care.
