    Weakness class (CWE)

    CWE-22 · Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

    CVSS vector

    AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

    nvd-primary

    Root cause

    A user-supplied file name is joined with the allowed directory, but the result is never checked to confirm it is still inside that directory.

    The bug in code

    The whole CWE-22 class

    A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

    Vulnerable

    ts
    const file = path.join(ROOT, req.query.name);res.sendFile(file);

    Fixed

    ts
    const file = path.resolve(ROOT, req.query.name);if (!file.startsWith(ROOT + path.sep)) {  return res.sendStatus(400);}res.sendFile(file);
