CWE-57: Path Equivalence: 'fakedir/../realdir/filename'

Variant Incomplete Simple

CWE版本: 4.18

更新日期: 2025-09-09

弱点描述

The product contains protection mechanisms to restrict access to 'realdir/filename', but it constructs pathnames using external input in the form of 'fakedir/../realdir/filename' that are not handled by those mechanisms. This allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions against the targeted file.

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-2001-1152

Proxy allows remote attackers to bypass denylist restrictions and connect to unauthorized web servers by modifying the requested URL, including (1) a // (double slash), (2) a /SUBDIR/.. where the desired file is in the parentdir, (3) a /./, or (4) URL-encoded characters.

参考: CVE-2000-0191

application check access for restricted URL before canonicalization
