CWE-22  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 psensor to version 1.1.5-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream psensor package and not the psensor package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The create_response function in server/server.c in Psensor before 1.1.4 allows Directory Traversal because it lacks a check for whether a file is under the webserver directory.
