Weakness ID : 43
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Variant
Description
The product accepts path input in the form of multiple trailing dot ('filedir....') without appropriate
validation, which can lead to ambiguous path resolution and allow an attacker to traverse the file
system to unintended locations or access arbitrary files.
