Details

Authenticated users can access files outside their assigned directories using double encoded characters.

Using double encoding it’s possible to bypass security checks that only decode user input once. The second decoding process is executed by the backend platform or modules that properly handle encoded data, but don’t have the corresponding security checks in place

Hexadecimal encoding of “../” represents “%2E%2E%2f”
Encoding the “%” represents “%25”
Double encoding of “../” represents “%252E%252E%252F”

An example is shown below:

http://hostname/%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252f%252e%252e%252fetc%252fpasswd.
