file-access-vuln

Start by identifying whether the weakness is in the accept, store, process, or serve stage of the upload pipeline. This router directs you to the upload-focused skill covering validation bypasses, storage paths, processing chains, overwrites, and preview or sharing boundaries.

Path traversal targets file read access through manipulated paths, while LFI focuses on including local files through wrappers and inclusion chains. Both are covered by the linked path traversal and LFI skill, which this router selects when path parameters or download interfaces are involved.

Use the router when the target exposes multiple file workflows such as uploads, previews, transcoding, extraction, and sharing, and you are unsure which vulnerability class applies. It maps the entry point to the correct specialized skill before deep testing begins.

No, small-sample path chains and upload bypass payloads have been merged into the main topic skills rather than kept as a separate payload entry. The router only classifies the scenario and links to the appropriate specialized skill.

The skill is part of a Kali Linux-oriented penetration testing toolkit, so scanning and testing features depend on Linux tooling. Windows environments only support basic conversation and configuration, with WSL 2 recommended for full functionality.
