SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to testing and discovering file-access vulnerabilities in download endpoints, file path handling, and upload and sharing workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Path traversal and local file inclusion checks across endpoints that accept file paths or user-supplied names.
  • Validation of upload pipelines, storage paths, and preview/share boundaries to prevent unauthorized access or leakage.
  • Guided workflows that help security testers reproduce real-world scenarios such as archive extraction and cross-system filename handling.

Quick Start

Run a targeted assessment by loading the File Access Router skill and following the recommended flow to identify LFI and path traversal risks in your web app.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test for path traversal and local file inclusion vulnerabilities in web endpoints?

To test for path traversal and local file inclusion, this Skill validates vulnerabilities across parameterized paths, download endpoints, and user-supplied file names to detect unauthorized file access risks.

What is the best way to check upload pipelines for unauthorized file access or leakage?

Checking upload pipelines involves validating storage paths, upload processing workflows, and preview or share boundaries to prevent unauthorized access or data leakage across sharing boundaries.

Can I use this to test archive extraction and cross-system filename handling scenarios?

Yes, you can test archive extraction and cross-system filename handling. It provides guided workflows to help security testers reproduce these real-world boundary-testing scenarios.

Does this approach work for validating access controls on file preview and sharing boundaries?

Yes, this approach works for validating access controls on file preview and sharing boundaries. It tests boundaries where path traversal or access controls may fail during file sharing workflows.

What web-security vulnerabilities does this file access testing target?

This file access testing targets web-security vulnerabilities including local file inclusion, path traversal, and upload security flaws. It assesses download endpoints, parameterized paths, and upload processing workflows.
