Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for Netware Web Server Source Disclosure

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

On a Netware Web Server, viewcode.jse permits the source code of web pages to
be viewed. As an argument, a URL is passed to sewse.nlm. The URL can be
altered and will permit files outside of the web root to be viewed.
As a result, sensitive information could be obtained from the Netware server,
such as the RCONSOLE password located in AUTOEXEC.NCF.
