Caucho Resin contains a path traversal vulnerability in the documentation webapp (resin-doc) that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying a relative path through the inputFile request parameter of the jndi-appconfig tutorial servlet.

Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2021-12-10.
