Adobe Document Server File URI Resource Access Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Tries to write to a file using Adobe Document Server Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server is affected by multiple flaws. Description : The remote host is running Adobe Document Server, a server that dynamically creates and manipulates PDF documents as well as graphic images. The version of Adobe Document Server installed on the remote host permits saving PDF and XML documents as well as most types of image files using file URIs to arbitrary locations on the affected host and with arbitrary extensions. An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to leverage this flaw to write a graphics image with malicious Javascript as metadata into the Startup folders to be executed whenever a user logs in. Additionally, it lets a possible hacker retrieve arbitrary PDF files, XML documents, and most types of image files, which may result in the disclosure of sensitive information.
