Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence

CWE-41 Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence
CWE-41: Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence
The product is vulnerable to file system contents disclosure through path equivalence. Path equivalence involves the use of special characters in file and directory names. The associated manipulations are intended to generate multiple names for the same object.
Path equivalence is usually employed in order to circumvent access controls expressed using an incomplete set of file name or file path representations. This is different from path traversal, wherein the manipulations are performed to generate a name for a different object.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity, Access Control. Impact: Read Files or Directories, Modify Files or Directories, Bypass Protection Mechanism. A

Path Equivalence: 'fakedir/../realdir/filename'
mitre_cwe·CVSS 10.0
[CRITICAL] CWE-57 Path Equivalence: 'fakedir/../realdir/filename'
CWE-57: Path Equivalence: 'fakedir/../realdir/filename'
The product contains protection mechanisms to restrict access to 'realdir/filename', but it constructs pathnames using external input in the form of 'fakedir/../realdir/filename' that are not handled by those mechanisms. This allows attackers to perform unauthorized actions against the targeted file.

Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity. Impact: Read Files or Directories, Modify Files or Directories.
Potential Mitigations:
[Implementation] Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be use
