CVE-2003-0592 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Konqueror in KDE 3.1.3 and earlier (kdelibs) allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Konqueror to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.. EPSS estimates a 4.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
