Subject: Something is wrong on the University of Mauritius webserver

 

Hello,

 

I found a Java based web application[1] running on the University of Mauritius webserver. The application is currently in public view and allows anyone from the Internet to modify, delete or add resources.

 

Someone with an Internet access could thus upload malicious code on the webserver and remotely execute it.

 

I thus trigger it as a vulnerability. If it's not, I apologize for triggering a false alarm, if it is, you can thank me later.
