CWE-55: Path Equivalence: '/./' (Single Dot Directory)

Variant Incomplete Simple

CWE版本: 4.18

更新日期: 2025-09-09

弱点描述

The product accepts path input in the form of single dot directory exploit ('/./') without appropriate validation, which can lead to ambiguous path resolution and allow an attacker to traverse the file system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files.

常见后果

影响范围: Confidentiality Integrity

技术影响: Read Files or Directories Modify Files or Directories

潜在缓解措施

阶段: Implementation

策略: Input Validation

描述: Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist validation schemes by introducing dangerous inputs after they have been checked.

观察示例

参考: CVE-2000-0004

Server allows remote attackers to read source code for executable files by inserting a . (dot) into the URL.

参考: CVE-2002-0304

Server allows remote attackers to read password-protected files via a /./ in the HTTP request.

参考: CVE-1999-1083

Possibly (could be a cleansing error)

参考: CVE-2004-0815

"/./////etc" cleansed to ".///etc" then "/etc"

参考: CVE-2002-0112

Server allows remote attackers to view password protected files via /./ in the URL.
