CWE
Path Equivalence: '/multiple/trailing/slash//'
mitre_cwe·CVSS 5.0
[MEDIUM] CWE-52 Path Equivalence: '/multiple/trailing/slash//'
CWE-52: Path Equivalence: '/multiple/trailing/slash//'
The product accepts path input in the form of multiple trailing slash ('/multiple/trailing/slash//') 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.
Modes of Introduction:
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 used to bypass allowlist val
CWE
Improper Resolution of Path Equivalence
mitre_cwe
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.

Scope: Confidentiality, Integrity, Access Control. Impact: Read Files or Directories, Modify Files or Directories, Bypass Protection Mechanism. A
CWE
Improper Neutralization of Multiple Trailing Special Elements
mitre_cwe
CWE-163 Improper Neutralization of Multiple Trailing Special Elements
CWE-163: Improper Neutralization of Multiple Trailing Special Elements
The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes multiple trailing special elements that could be interpreted in unexpected ways when they are sent to a downstream component.
As data is parsed, improperly handled multiple trailing special elements may cause the process to take unexpected actions that result in an attack.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Integrity. Impact: Unexpected State.
Potential Mitigations:
Developers should anticipate that multiple trailing special elements will be injected/removed/manipulated in the input vectors of their product. Use an appropriate combination of denylists and allowlists to e
