lighttpd: Script source disclosure Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-21 (lighttpd: Script source disclosure) lighttpd uses file extensions to acertain which elements are programs that should be executed and which are static pages that should be sent as-is. By appending %00 to the filename, you can evade the extension detection mechanism while still accessing the file. Impact A remote attacker could send specific queries and access the source of scripts that should have been executed as CGI or FastCGI applications. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
