IBM Lotus Expeditor contains a flaw related to the Eclipse Help component that allows an attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the program not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../). This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to disclose the location of arbitrary files.
