Agent skill
File Path Traversal Testing
This skill should be used when the user asks to "test for directory traversal", "exploit path traversal vulnerabilities", "read arbitrary files through web applications", "find LFI vulnerabilities", or "access files outside web root". It provides comprehensive file path traversal attack and testing methodologies.

File Path Traversal Testing
Purpose
Identify and exploit file path traversal (directory traversal) vulnerabilities that allow attackers to read arbitrary files on the server, potentially including sensitive configuration files, credentials, and source code. This vulnerability occurs when user-controllable input is passed to filesystem APIs without proper validation.
