Practical client-side path-traversal attacks

Client side path traversal: JavaScript builds a resource URL by concatenating a user-controlled query parameter into the path, so encoded traversal sequences point the request at a different endpoint. Chained with an open redirect, whose Location a stylesheet load follows, it loads attacker CSS and exfiltrates data from the DOM.
