Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-03-21 21:00:10 UTC 
"
[NSE][SECURITY] Nmap developer nnposter found a security flaw (directory traversal vulnerability) in the way the non-default http-fetch script sanitized URLs. If a user manualy ran this NSE script with against a malicious web server, the server could potentially (depending on NSE arguments used) cause files to be saved outside the intended destination directory. Existing files couldn't be overwritten. We fixed http-fetch, audited our other scripts to ensure they didn't make this mistake, and we updated the httpspider library API to protect against this by default. [nnposter, Daniel Miller]
