Overview

Relative Path Traversal is a vulnerability class where an attacker can access files or directories outside the intended scope by manipulating relative path inputs, typically due to insufficient input validation or improper path normalization. When exploited, it can lead to sensitive file disclosure, and in some cases code execution or privilege escalation, making it a persistent risk for web-facing applications and services. Recent guidance and disclosures underscore its relevance by illustrating real-world exploitation contexts in network appliances and web servers.
