SurfControl for Microsoft ISA is a plugin the allows the Microsoft ISA server to have more control over the internet usage. The plugin still allows most of the same benefits from the stand alone product including: customizable reporting, easy admin interface, and the remote interface for report retrieval. Exploit: An attacker is able to view/download any file from the server using a directory traversal attack: http://isa-surfserver:8888/.../.../.../.../winnt/ Vendor Response: SurfControl team was notified concerning the above vulnerability. SurfControl had previous knowledge that this existed on the stand alone SurfControl platforms, but did not know it existed on the plugin for Microsoft ISA. They recommended disabling the reports server and said it is turned on by default for "convenience to users." Convenience before security from a leader in filter products?
