What MITRE CAPEC-79: Using Slashes in Alternate Encoding (Detailed Attack Pattern - High Severity) requires
MITRE CAPEC-79 (Using Slashes in Alternate Encoding) is a detailed-level attack pattern in the MITRE Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification. This attack targets the encoding of the Slash characters. An adversary would try to exploit common filtering problems related to the use of the slashes characters to gain access to resources on the target host. Directory-driven systems, such as file systems and databases, typically use the slash character to indicate traversal between directories or other container components. Likelihood of attack: High. Typical severity: High. Maps to weaknesses CWE-173, CWE-180, CWE-181, CWE-20, and others.
