示例代码

The following code takes untrusted input and uses a regular expression to filter "../" from the input. It then appends this result to the /home/user/ directory and attempts to read the file in the final resulting path.

bad Perl

my $Username = GetUntrustedInput();
$Username =~ s/..\///;
my $filename = "/home/user/" . $Username;
ReadAndSendFile($filename);

Since the regular expression does not have the /g global match modifier, it only removes the first instance of "../" it comes across. So an input value such as:

attack

../../../etc/passwd

will have the first "../" stripped, resulting in:

result

../../etc/passwd

This value is then concatenated with the /home/user/ directory:

result

/home/user/../../etc/passwd

which causes the /etc/passwd file to be retrieved once the operating system has resolved the ../ sequences in the pathname. This leads to relative path traversal (CWE-23).
