Nortel's new Contivity seris extranet switches give administrators the ability to enable a small HTTP server and use Nortel's web based administration utility to handle configuration and maitenance. The server runs atop the VxWorks operating system and is located in the directory /system/manage. A CGI application, /system/manage/cgi/cgiproc that is used to display the administration html pages does not properly authenticate users prior to processing requests. An intruder can view any file on the switch without logging in.
