Error description

  • Typically, a filename is appended to a directory
    prefix to read or write the contents of the file. If
    vulnerable, an attacker can supply path traversal sequences
    (using dot-dot-slash characters) to break out of the intended
    directory and read or write files elsewhere on the filesystem.
