CVE-2006-4294

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-4294 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in TWiki versions 4.0.0 through 4.0.4, specifically within the viewfile component. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the 'filename' parameter with ".." sequences. While the CVSS score is 5.0 (medium severity) with a low attack complexity and no authentication required, its EPSS and FAUCET scores suggest a moderate risk. There is an ExploitDB entry (EDB-28495) detailing an exploit, but there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit/Nuclei modules, or significant community/media discussion.
