Subject: JSP Security exposure (from usenet)


Hey, I just read this on Usenet.  I don't recall seeing it here.

Apparently if you call a JSP and end it with a slash "/" it will show the
source for the JSP.

ie:
www.myserver.com/runme.jsp

will function normally.  But

www.myserver.com/runme.jsp/

will display the source for the JSP.  I haven't tried it,
but the poster on comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc said he has.  He didn't mention if
it was for Websphere or Tomcat.

Anyone... Bueller?
