File Path Traversal Testing
Test for Path Traversal Vulnerabilities
Web applications often have vulnerabilities that allow attackers to read arbitrary files through path traversal attacks. This skill provides comprehensive testing methodologies to identify and document these security gaps during authorized penetration testing.

Tester
Utilisation de "File Path Traversal Testing". Test the endpoint /image?filename= for path traversal vulnerabilities
RĂ©sultat attendu:
Identified traversal point. Test payloads: ../../../etc/passwd returns system user list, confirming vulnerability. Impact: Can read application configuration files and potentially credentials.
Utilisation de "File Path Traversal Testing". Application strips ../ from input. What bypass techniques work?
RĂ©sultat attendu:
Try nested traversal: ....// becomes ../ after stripping. Try URL encoding: %2e%2e%2f. Try mixed separators: ..\..\/..\. Test double encoding: %252e%252e%252f.
Audit de sécurité
Risque moyenThis skill contains educational content about path traversal vulnerability testing. Static analysis detected 246 patterns related to path traversal, external commands, and network access - these are documented attack payloads and testing examples for authorized security testing, not executable malicious code. The skill includes prevention measures and secure coding guidance. Recommended for publication with appropriate usage warnings about authorized testing only.

Bonnes pratiques
- Always obtain written authorization before testing any system you do not own
- Document all findings with evidence including request/response pairs and screenshots
- Test in staging environments before production when possible to minimize risk
- Follow responsible disclosure practices when reporting vulnerabilities
Ăviter
- Never access or exfiltrate sensitive personal data during authorized testing
- Do not attempt exploitation beyond what is necessary to prove vulnerability
- Avoid testing production systems without explicit scope approval
- Do not use automated tools without understanding their impact on target systems
