This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in HTTP request headers. A successful attack can result in directory traversal attacks.
CGI::Session is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. Exploiting the issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks. CGI::Session 3.94, 3.95, and 4.33 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
