Reportedly SquidGuard is prone to a remote NULL URL character unauthorized access vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly filter out invalid URIs.

Successful exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to bypass access controls resulting in unauthorized access to attacker-specified resources. This may allow the attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive resources.
