Yaws Web Server Directory Traversal
This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal bug in Yaws v1.9.1 or less. The module can only be used to retrieve files. However, code execution might be possible. Because when the malicious user sends a PUT request, a file is actually created, except no content is written.
