Directory Traversal - Lab #4 Path traversal sequences stripped w/ URL-decode | Long Version

In this video, we cover Lab #4 in the Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities module of the Web Security Academy. This lab contains a file path traversal vulnerability in the display of product images. The application blocks input containing path traversal sequences. It then performs a URL-decode of the input before using it. To solve the lab, we retrieve the contents of the /etc/passwd file.
