Hello,

This also depends upon the directory path where the script is being
executed. You could try adjusting ../ according to the path of your
script or can also try www.example.com/static.php?page=/etc/passwd

Subject: PHP Directory Transversal

Hi,

Working on a Web app testing...I have found that the uses the
so-vulnerable
method of including files requested by php parameters:

www.example.com/static.php?page=hello.htm
(htm files are in /templates dir)

A the page in the parameter is requested statically, I did a
www.example.com/static.php?page=../static.php and I got that page source

code.

Therefore, I tried doing a
www.example.com/static.php?page=../../../../../../etc/passwd
but I get an error saying that file doesn't exist.

I user the same source code in my server, and I could retrieve the
file...what can be happening? I don't think it is under a chroot jail...

I'm working with Apache 2.0.48 and PHP 4.3.4
and the real server has Apache 2.0.52 an PHP 4.3.9....

Thanks in advance,
Andy
