path-traversal-anti-pattern

What problem does it solve?

This Skill protects applications from attackers who exploit vulnerabilities in file path handling to access or modify files outside of the intended directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Vulnerability Detection: Identifies insecure code patterns where user input is directly concatenated into file paths.
• Secure Coding Guidance: Provides clear "BAD" and "GOOD" code examples demonstrating how to validate and sanitize file paths.
• Use Case: When reviewing code that handles file uploads or serves static content, use this Skill to ensure that user-provided filenames cannot be manipulated to access sensitive system files.

Quick Start

Review the current directory for path traversal vulnerabilities.
