One post tagged with "Path Hijacking"

Path hijacking is a type of attack where an attacker manipulates the path used by an application to access files, directories, or other resources, often using relative paths or URL manipulation. This allows the attacker to access and manipulate sensitive data outside of their intended scope, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or execution of malicious code.
