Directory TraversalĮven without the ability to upload and execute code, a Local File Inclusion vulnerability can be dangerous. Even then, the attacker would still need to know the disk path to the uploaded file. Even if they did, there is no guarantee that the application will save the file on the same server where the LFI vulnerability exists.
An attacker does not always have the ability to upload a malicious file to the application.

That would allow an attacker to run any server-side malicious code that they want. In this example, the file uploaded by the attacker will be included and executed by the user that runs the web application. It tricks the application into executing a PHP script such as a web shell that the attacker managed to upload to the web server. In the above example, an attacker could make the following request. The following is an example of PHP code that is vulnerable to LFI. However, an attacker using LFI may only include local files (not remote files like in the case of RFI). Local File Inclusion is very similar to Remote File Inclusion (RFI). If the application treats this input as trusted, a local file may be used in the include statement. Typically, LFI occurs when an application uses the path to a file as input. An LFI attack may lead to information disclosure, remote code execution, or even Cross-site Scripting (XSS). An attacker can use Local File Inclusion (LFI) to trick the web application into exposing or running files on the web server.
