: Access to S3 buckets, RDS databases, and DynamoDB tables.
An attacker replaces dashboard with the traversal payload: https://example.com -template-..-2F..-2F..-2F..-2Froot-2F.aws-2Fcredentials
: By repeating this sequence (e.g., five times), the attacker attempts to reach the "root" directory of the server, regardless of how deep the application is buried in the file structure. : Access to S3 buckets, RDS databases, and DynamoDB tables
If the backend code simply appends that string to a base path (e.g., /var/www/html/templates/ ), the operating system resolves the ../ commands, bypasses the template folder, and serves the contents of the AWS credentials file directly to the attacker’s browser.
