In this video of the Cyber Security Series, we uncover two extremely dangerous web vulnerabilities — Insecure File Uploads and Path Traversal — that often lead to Remote Code Execution, full server compromise, and complete system takeover.

You will learn:
What Insecure File Uploads are and how attackers upload malicious payloads
How weak validation allows shells, malware, and spoofed file types
How MIME type spoofing, null-byte tricks, and unsafe extensions bypass filters
How Path Traversal allows attackers to access sensitive server files
How traversal patterns like ../ and encoded sequences bypass restrictions
How attackers extract configs, logs, API keys, and database credentials
Why File Upload + Path Traversal together can lead to total system compromise
Best security practices to prevent both vulnerabilities in real-world systems

This episode highlights how these weaknesses can impact organizations, applications, and servers globally — and why developers and security engineers must handle file uploads and path access with strict validation.
