Path Traversal

web HIGH

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

How It Works

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation. Attackers inject special sequences like ../ (dot-dot-slash) to escape the intended directory and navigate to arbitrary locations in the file system. Each ../ sequence moves up one directory level, allowing an attacker to break out of a restricted folder and access sensitive files elsewhere on the server.

Attackers employ various encoding techniques to bypass basic filters. Simple URL encoding transforms ../ into %2e%2e%2f, while double encoding becomes %252e%252e%252f (encoding the percent sign itself). Other evasion methods include nested sequences like ....// (which become ../ after filter removal), null byte injection (%00 to truncate path validation), and OS-specific path separators (backslashes on Windows). Absolute paths like /etc/passwd may also work if the application doesn't enforce relative path constraints.

The typical attack flow begins with identifying input parameters that reference files—such as file=, path=, template=, or page=. The attacker then tests various traversal payloads to determine if path validation exists and what depth is needed to reach system files. Success means reading configuration files, credentials, source code, or even writing malicious files if the application allows file uploads or modifications.

Impact

  • Credential exposure: Access to configuration files containing database passwords, API keys, and authentication tokens
  • Source code disclosure: Reading application code reveals business logic, additional vulnerabilities, and hardcoded secrets
  • System file access: Retrieving /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, or Windows SAM files for credential cracking
  • Configuration tampering: If write access exists, attackers modify settings or inject malicious code
  • Remote code execution: Writing web shells or executable files to web-accessible directories enables full system compromise

Real-World Examples

ZendTo file sharing application (CVE-2025-34508) contained a path traversal vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the server. The flaw existed in file retrieval functionality where user input directly influenced file path construction without adequate validation, exposing sensitive configuration data and potentially system files.

Web application frameworks frequently suffer from path traversal in template rendering engines. When applications allow users to specify template names or include files, insufficient validation permits attackers to read source code from other application modules or framework configuration files, revealing database credentials and session secrets.

File download features in content management systems represent another common vector. Applications that serve user-requested files from disk often fail to restrict paths properly, enabling attackers to download backup files, logs containing sensitive data, or administrative scripts that weren't intended for public access.

Mitigation

  • Avoid user input in file paths: Use indirect references like database IDs mapped to filenames on the server side
  • Canonicalize and validate: Convert paths to absolute canonical form, then verify they remain within the allowed base directory
  • Allowlist permitted files: Maintain an explicit list of accessible files rather than trying to blocklist malicious patterns
  • Chroot jails or sandboxing: Restrict application file system access to specific directories at the OS level
  • Strip dangerous sequences: Remove ../, ..\\, and encoded variants, though this alone is insufficient

Path traversal in Cacti's RRDtool theme handling (lib/rrd.php) lets an attacker manipulate the 'graph_theme' value to escape the themes directory and force inclusion of an attacker-influenced 'rrdtheme.php' from an arbitrary path, fixed in Cacti 1.2.31 (Alpine package 1.2.31-0). Because the traversed path is appended to base_path and ultimately included by PHP, successful exploitation can lead to local file inclusion and potential code execution.

Authenticated administrators of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and Cisco ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC) can delete arbitrary files and directories on the underlying operating system by sending a crafted request to the file management function of the web-based management interface. The flaw is a directory traversal (CWE-22) issue in which traversal sequences in a user-supplied file path are not properly validated before the request is processed; exploitation is network-reachable and low-complexity but strictly requires valid administrative credentials (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N), which is the primary limiting factor and rules out unauthenticated abuse. Cisco rates this CVSS 4.9 and our independent assessment tracks that as a genuinely lower-priority issue for most environments; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no confirmed active exploitation (not in CISA KEV).

The flaw is rated CVSS 4.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N per the vendor and our independent assessment), so the impact is limited to integrity and the practical barrier is the requirement for a valid admin session - attackers must already hold or hijack an administrative account. Affected releases span ISE and ISE-PIC 3.1 through 3.5; no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.

Authenticated path traversal in the certificate import function of the Cisco ISE and Cisco ISE-PIC web-based management interface lets a remote attacker who already holds valid administrative credentials read arbitrary files from the appliance, exposing configuration data and other sensitive content. Exploitation requires high-privileged access (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base score 4.9), which meaningfully constrains the threat: the attacker must first compromise or be granted an administrative account, so this is best treated as a post-compromise information-disclosure and privilege-escalation enabler rather than an unauthenticated entry point. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV). This is a moderate, not urgent, priority, with the practical exposure concentrated on installations where the management interface is reachable from broader networks and admin credentials are loosely governed.

Unauthenticated path traversal in the Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC client provisioning download service allows a remote attacker to read protected files on the appliance by sending a crafted provisioning resource request containing directory traversal sequences. The flaw affects Cisco Identity Services Engine software across the 3.1 through 3.5 release families (and the corresponding ISE Passive Identity Connector 3.1.0, 3.2.0, 3.3.0, 3.4.0 and 3.5.0 builds) and needs only network reachability to the provisioning/onboarding endpoint, with no credentials or user interaction required (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no evidence of active exploitation, but the low attack complexity and unauthenticated reach make prompt patching advisable, especially where the ISE guest/BYOD portal is published beyond the internal onboarding network. Overall this is a genuine but modest-severity issue whose impact is limited to information disclosure.

Path traversal in junrar (the open source Java RAR archive library) prior to version 7.6.1 lets an attacker-supplied RAR archive cause LocalFolderExtractor to create directories outside the intended extraction root. The flaw exists because createFile() validates only the final canonical file path while makeFile() creates intermediate path segments with unchecked mkdir() calls, so a crafted entry whose final path resolves inside the destination can still spawn directories elsewhere - a specificity that is why the assessed vector carries AC:H. Impact is confined to directory creation and file-versus-directory squatting that can make later security-sensitive writes fail; there is no arbitrary file-content write and no confidentiality loss, unauthenticated remote attackers are the relevant threat model only when a host application extracts untrusted archives through this specific extractor, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. This is a genuinely low-priority issue, and the vendor's CVSS of 3.7 reflects that honestly rather than inflating it.

Path traversal in the Redocly CLI `split` command (@redocly/cli prior to 2.33.2, and the 1.x line prior to 1.34.17) lets a crafted OpenAPI or AsyncAPI document place or overwrite YAML/JSON files outside the directory supplied to `--outDir`. The command derives output filenames from untrusted component names, path keys, and `x-codeSamples` lang values without confirming the resolved target stays inside the chosen directory, so literal `../` segments in those fields escape the output tree. Impact is deliberately bounded - content is limited to YAML/JSON and code-sample filenames stay based on the HTTP method - yielding an integrity-only file write rated CVSS 4.4 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L), with unauthenticated (PR:N) exploitation that nonetheless requires a victim to run `split` on the malicious spec; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Path traversal in the Jenkins Pipeline: Groovy Libraries Plugin (805.va_fc79344957d and earlier) lets an authenticated user who can configure Pipelines point the `library` step at a path outside the SCM checkout and follow symbolic links, giving read access to files in a resources directory and the ability to delete files in a test directory on the Jenkins controller file system. Exploitation requires the Pipeline-configuration privilege, a symlink placed inside the checkout, and successful traversal during library retrieval, which is reflected in the high attack complexity of the assessed CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N, base score 4.2). No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis and the issue is not confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV), so the practical risk is low-to-moderate and confined to file read and limited file deletion rather than arbitrary write or code execution.

The MCPVault npm package (a lightweight Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents access to an Obsidian vault) anchored its restricted-directory deny-list to the vault root in versions before 0.11.5, so nested .git, .obsidian and node_modules directories silently pass both isAllowed() and isAllowedForListing(). An attacker who influences which path an AI agent reads — typically through prompt injection in content the agent ingests — can cause nested .git/config files (remote URLs, embedded tokens) or nested Obsidian metadata to be read, and can pollute the listAllTags index with nested node_modules content.

Path traversal in CPython's tarfile module allows an attacker to write files outside the intended extraction directory by exploiting a filter bypass in the link-fallback code path. On systems that do not support symbolic or hard links, tarfile falls back to extracting the link target as a regular archive member; in this fallback path the filter function is called a second time but its return value is discarded, so a filter that returns None to reject a dangerous member silently fails to block extraction. An attacker who can supply a crafted tar archive containing a hardlink-to-symlink chain can abuse this to achieve path traversal when a victim extracts the archive using a filter that selectively returns None.
