In today’s Cyber Security Tutorial , I performed a FULL practical demonstration of how Insecure File Uploads and Path Traversal vulnerabilities combine to create Remote Code Execution (RCE)!
This is one of the most dangerous real-world web vulnerabilities — and I showed it LIVE using a fully vulnerable PHP setup. Perfect for beginners, students, and cyber security learners.
What I demonstrated in today's video:
1⃣ Insecure File Upload Exploit (Step-by-Step):
* How a simple file upload form can be exploited
* How attackers upload malicious .php shells
* Live demo: uploading shell.php and executing it
2⃣ Path Traversal Attack (Directory Breakout):
* How ?file=../../etc/passwd works
* How to read server files using traversal
* Live demo of reading sensitive files via crafted payloads
3⃣ Combining Both → Full RCE Attack:
* How insecure uploads + traversal lead to complete server takeover
* Executing uploaded shell via traversal
* How attackers can escalate to full system compromise
You’ll see every step LIVE — from creating the vulnerable app, uploading a malicious file, exploiting traversal, and achieving RCE.
Why This Video is Important?
If you're learning:
* Web Security
* Ethical Hacking
* Bug Bounty
* PHP Security
* OWASP Top 10
Then this practical demo will help you understand exactly how real attackers exploit vulnerable systems in seconds.
