Protect your applications from path traversal attacks
Sophisticated cyberattacks have made path traversal vulnerabilities a serious threat, enabling data exfiltration and remote code execution. This blog post from Contrast Security explores detecting and mitigating path traversal attacks and how Application Detection and Response (ADR) systems can help.
Key insights:
- Path traversal lets attackers access files outside the web root, exposing sensitive information.
- Traditional web application firewalls often fail to detect path traversal, leading to false positives and missed threats.
- ADR systems track if malicious requests reach the file system, helping prioritize genuine threats.
