CVE-2015-1003
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 · uneditedDirectory traversal vulnerability in IniNet embeddedWebServer (aka eWebServer) before 2.02 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted 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 confidenceA directory traversal vulnerability in IniNet embeddedWebServer versions before 2.02 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by using crafted pathnames containing '..' sequences in HTTP requests.

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 embeddedWebServer is installedCheck running processes or installed software for 'embeddedWebServer', 'eWServer', or 'Ininet' related services. On Windows, check Services panel or Program Files. On Linux, check /etc/init.d or systemd services.Affected if embeddedWebServer or Ininet Scada Web Server process is found running on the system
-
Determine embeddedWebServer versionCheck the web server banner via HTTP request, or examine the installed software version. Look for version info in the application itself, or check installed package/version files on the system.Affected if Version is found to be before 2.02 (any version below 2.02)
-
Check if HTTP interface is accessibleAttempt to access the web server HTTP port (common ports 80, 443, 8080, 8443) from the network, or verify in firewall/network config that the web interface is exposed.Affected if The web server HTTP interface is reachable from network (local or remote)
-
Review HTTP access logs for directory traversal attemptsExamine web server access logs for requests containing '..' sequences in URLs, such as '../' or '..\' patterns targeting sensitive files.Affected if Log entries show '..' sequences in HTTP request paths (potential exploitation)
-
Check for unauthorized file accessReview web server logs for access to system files outside the web root, such as /etc/passwd, Windows\system32\config, or other sensitive files.Affected if Logs or file system shows evidence of arbitrary file reads via HTTP requests
System is affected if Ininet Solutions Scada Web Server (embeddedWebServer) is running with any version before 2.02 and its HTTP interface is accessible, regardless of whether exploitation is observed.
