SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gf, ffuf, wfuzz, Burp Collaborator, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies and exploits vulnerabilities related to Local File Inclusion (LFI), Remote File Inclusion (RFI), and Path Traversal, enabling security researchers to uncover and mitigate potential risks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • LFI Detection: Identifies and confirms LFI vulnerabilities in web applications.
  • RFI Exploitation: Exploits RFI vulnerabilities to execute remote code.
  • Path Traversal: Discovers and leverages path traversal vulnerabilities for unauthorized access.
  • Use Case: When auditing a web application, this Skill can automatically detect and report LFI, RFI, and path traversal vulnerabilities, aiding in the identification of potential security breaches.

Quick Start

Run the 'hunt-lfi' skill to scan the target application for LFI, RFI, and path traversal vulnerabilities.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect Local File Inclusion and path traversal vulnerabilities during a web application security audit?

To detect Local File Inclusion (LFI) and path traversal vulnerabilities during a security audit, you can use automated scanning techniques that identify and confirm unauthorized file access points in web applications. This Skill automates that discovery process for security researchers.

Do I need specific tools installed to exploit Remote File Inclusion vulnerabilities?

Yes, exploiting Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities requires specific tools to be installed in your environment. You need gf, ffuf, wfuzz, and Burp Collaborator to confirm and execute remote code inclusion during red team engagements.

What is the best way to automate path traversal discovery for red team engagements?

The best way to automate path traversal discovery for red team engagements is by running a dedicated vulnerability detection Skill. It leverages tools like gf and ffuzz to discover and leverage unauthorized directory traversal paths automatically.

Can I use Burp Collaborator to confirm RFI vulnerabilities?

Yes, you can use Burp Collaborator to confirm Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities. It acts as a dependency for validating out-of-band interactions when the Skill exploits RFI vulnerabilities to execute remote code.

How does LFI vulnerability detection work with fuzzing tools like wfuzz and ffuf?

LFI vulnerability detection works with fuzzing tools like wfuzz and ffuf by systematically injecting path traversal payloads into web application parameters. These tools automate the discovery and confirmation of unauthorized local file access points.

Are there limitations when scanning web applications for path traversal and LFI vulnerabilities?

Limitations when scanning for path traversal and LFI vulnerabilities depend on the target web application's input validation filters. Complex encoding bypasses may require manual intervention beyond the automated detection capabilities of gf and ffuf.
