Vulnerability Description
-------------------------
The eFileCabinet software suite is used to house digital images of files.  
Though the eFileCabinet HTTP interface is password protected, it is possible to 
bypass said access controls to gain partial access to the eFileCabinet 
software.  In order to bypass security, an attacker must supply a non-existent 
filecabinetnumber, such as 0.  An attacker can utilize this access to partially 
navigate the eFileCabinet HTTP interface.  Successful exploitation of this flaw 
could allow an attacker to create efileCabinet drawers or to potentially obtain 
access to sensitive information.
