Path Traversal: 'dir....filename'
CWE-31
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize 'dir....filename' (multiple internal backslash dot dot) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
We track 9 vulnerabilities of this type. 100% are rated high or critical, and the average CVSS score is 8.2.
How this weakness is prevented
- Implementation: Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.
