CVE-2017-1548
IBM Sterling File Gateway 2.2 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.17%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

IBM Sterling File Gateway 2.2 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 131288.
