Progress 3.1 - Webspeed _CPYFile.P Unauthorized Access

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23634/info

Progress WebSpeed is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers gain unauthorized access to and execute administrative scripts.

An attacker may leverage this issue to create and execute malicious WebSpeed code on the host running the webserver. Such unauthorized access may help the attacker launch other attacks.

WebSpeed 3.1a, 3.1d, and 3.1e are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: Further reports suggest that this issue affects only the 'Development Mode' of the application. This mode is not intended to be used in production systems. This issue is also present when the 'tty' directory is installed.
