How it was found
Hi guys, I am kind of surprised no one hast reported this issue yet. (or maybe they have and due to the severity it was never patched?)
An example of this behavior would be:
https://hackerone.com//%5C../%5C../%5C../%5C../%5C../%5C../etc/passwd (which is a valid attempt even though we get an error saying file not found because..)
https://hackerone.com//%5C../%5C../%5C../%5C../%5C../%5C../etc/passwd_DOESNTEXIST will rediredt us to a 404 page.
Let me know if you need more info from my end.
Thanks, Ben
