CVE-2009-3452
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedWebCoreModule.ashx in RADactive I-Load before 2008.2.5.0 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified requests that trigger responses containing the saved-image folder pathname.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe RADactive I-Load image upload component versions prior to 2008.2.5.0 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in WebCoreModule.ashx. Remote attackers can send specific requests to this handler and receive responses that expose the internal saved-image folder pathname, potentially revealing server directory structure for further exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if RADactive I-Load is installedSearch the web server file system for the RADactive I-Load component files, typically found under /bin, /App_Data, or a /Radactive folder. Look for files named ILoad*, i-load*, or WebCoreModule.ashx.Affected if The component files exist on the server
-
Determine the installed versionLocate version information in assembly files, readme files, or the WebCoreModule.ashx file itself. Check the component DLL properties or any version.txt/install.log files in the component directory.Affected if The version is 2008.2.4.0 or lower, or matches 1.6.3, 1.6.3.1, 1.6.3.2, 1.6.3.3, 1.7.0.0, 1.7.0.1, 1.7.0.2, 1.7.0.3, 1.7.0.4, 1.7.0.5, or 1.7.0.6
-
Locate WebCoreModule.ashx handlerSearch for WebCoreModule.ashx in the web application root, /bin, or handlers folder. Verify the file exists on the server file system.Affected if WebCoreModule.ashx exists in the deployed application
-
Check handler accessibilityAttempt to access WebCoreModule.ashx via HTTP request (e.g., GET /WebCoreModule.ashx or /path/to/WebCoreModule.ashx). Observe if the server returns any response containing directory paths, configuration details, or saved-image folder information.Affected if The handler responds with path information or exposes the internal saved-image folder pathname
The environment is affected if RADactive I-Load is installed with a version listed in the affected range AND the WebCoreModule.ashx handler is present and accessible, returning path information.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade RADactive I-Load to version 2008.2.5.0 or later to patch the information disclosure in WebCoreModule.ashx. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, review access controls on the .ashx handler.
