This allows unauthorized access to files and directories that should be restricted. Since the system does not correctly sanitize the input, an attacker can access files beyond the intended directory, which leads to unauthorized disclosure of information and potential system compromise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"ameeb-3248686291\" class=\"ameeb-content ameeb-entity-placement\"><div class=\"poptin-embedded\" data-id=\"f6b387694f681\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\n<p>The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited using a malformed HTTP request:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"\" data-line=\"\">GET \/some\/endpoint?file=..\/..\/..\/..\/etc\/passwd HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, the attacker is trying to access the &#8220;\/etc\/passwd&#8221; file, which is located four directories above the intended directory.
