I am performing a penetration testing on an application hosted on an Ubuntu environment.



So using a path traversal vulnerability, I can download any file.



The API web application runs as root (shadow and brute-force are already my friends). Funny situation: I can not find the web root folder.



What I have tried:




  • Search for logs that can lead me to the path. nginx or apache2 is not there.

  • Search for nginx, apache2 or other configuration files

  • Search for common directories of web roots (https://serverfault.com/questions/144598/where-should-the-web-server-root-directory-go-in-linux)

  • Bash histories of all users


What else should I try?

Use the traversal vulnerability to read



/proc/self/environ


This prints out environment variables among other thread information.



Look for a environment variable called DOCUMENT_ROOT
