CSPT Resources

New CSPT toys for everyone

As a follow up to Maxence Schmitt’s research on Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT), we wanted to encourage researchers, bug hunters, and security professionals to explore CSPT further, as it remains an underrated yet impactful attack vector.

To support the community, we have compiled a list of blog posts, vulnerabilities, tools, CTF challenges, and videos related to CSPT. If anything is missing, let us know and we will update the post. Please note that the list is not ranked and does not reflect the quality or importance of the resources.

Thank you and good luck!

We hope this collection of resources will help the community to better understand and explore Client-Side Path Traversal (CSPT) vulnerabilities. We encourage anyone interested to take a deep dive into exploring CSPT techniques and possibilities and helping us to push the boundaries of web security. We wish you many exciting discoveries and plenty of CSPT-related bugs along the way!
