CWE
Path Traversal: '....' (Multiple Dot)

CWE-33 Path Traversal: '....' (Multiple Dot)
CWE-33: Path Traversal: '....' (Multiple Dot)
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize '....' (multiple dot) sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
This allows attackers to traverse the file system to access files or directories that are outside of the restricted directory. The '....' manipulation is useful for bypassing some path traversal protection schemes. On some Windows systems, it is equivalent to "..\..\.." and might bypass checks that assume only two dots are valid. Incomplete filtering, such as removal of "./" sequences, can ultimately produce valid ".." sequences due to a collapse into unsafe value (CWE-182).

Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Integrity, Confidentiality, Availability. Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands. The attacker may be able to create or overwrite critical files that are used to execute code, such as programs or libraries.
Scope: Integrity. Impact: Modify Files or Directories. The attacker may be able to overwrite or create critical files, such as programs, libraries, or important data. If the targeted file is used for a security mechanism, then the attacker may be able
