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

Relative path traversal in Apache Tika's ISA-Tab parser (ISArchiveParser) enables arbitrary local file read against the Tika process. Specifically, the 'Study Assay File Name' field within an ISA-Tab investigation file is processed without adequate path sanitization, allowing traversal outside the intended dataset directory and causing the contents of any file readable by the Tika process to be emitted in the extracted text output. Affected deployments span Apache Tika 1.8 through 3.3.1 and the 4.0.0-alpha-1 preview release, all of which include the vulnerable tika-parser-scientific-module. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing was identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability was independently reported by two researchers with proposed patches, indicating the issue is reproducible and well-understood.

Path traversal in Apache Zeppelin's FileSystemNotebookRepo backend (versions 0.9.0 through 0.12.0) allows authenticated users with note-rename or folder-operation permissions to escape the configured notebook root directory on the server's filesystem or HDFS. By injecting directory traversal sequences into note or folder path values, an attacker can cause Zeppelin to move, write, or delete files anywhere the server process identity has access - potentially overwriting arbitrary files outside the notebook root. No public exploit has been identified and exploitation requires specific authenticated access plus a non-default storage backend configuration.

The CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) confirms network-accessible exploitation with high confidentiality impact and no write or availability consequences. No confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) is recorded, but a public vulnerability research repository referencing this CVE exists, suggesting proof-of-concept material may be available.

Path traversal in Croogo CMS up to version 4.0.7 allows remote authenticated attackers to escape the intended file management directory by supplying crafted path sequences to the Admin File Manager's FileManager::isEditable function in FileManager/src/Utility/FileManager.php. A public proof-of-concept exploit exists and has been disclosed via a researcher advisory, while the Croogo project has not responded to the responsible disclosure report and no patch has been released. The vulnerability carries a medium base score but the combination of a public PoC, unresponsive vendor, and no remediation path meaningfully elevates practical risk for any internet-exposed Croogo instance.

Arbitrary local file read in mcp-memory-keeper versions prior to 0.13.0 allows any connected MCP client or prompt-injected LLM agent to exfiltrate files readable by the server process by supplying a crafted filePath to the context_import tool. JSON files (credential files, service-account keys, other users' exported sessions) are parsed and imported into the attacker's session, then retrievable verbatim via context_get or context_export; non-JSON files (SSH keys, .env files, /etc/passwd) leak their leading bytes through a V8 SyntaxError message echoed back to the caller. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but E2E regression tests in the fix PR confirm all three attack vectors - arbitrary JSON read, byte-leak, and ../ traversal - are reliably reproducible in affected versions.

Directory traversal via the unsanitized 'family' parameter in the Kirki plugin for WordPress (all versions up to and including 6.0.13) enables authenticated users holding editor-level access or above to delete arbitrary directories on the server filesystem, risking data loss and site unavailability. Reported by Wordfence, the flaw originates in insufficient path validation within FontService.php and GlobalDataController.php, which process the 'family' parameter without canonicalization or boundary enforcement. No public exploit code exists and no CISA KEV listing is present at time of analysis, but the potential for irreversible filesystem destruction makes this a meaningful risk on any WordPress site granting editor access to untrusted accounts.
