Why take this course?

On October 4th, 2021, the Apache Software Foundation disclosed CVE-2021-41773, a path traversal vulnerability. Within 24 hours, POCs were available via writes ups and GitHub code. Just 2 days later, on October 6th, active exploitation of this vulnerability reached record highs. Although a patch was released on October 7th to help combat these exploitations, it was on that same day that patch bypasses and POCs were published online--resulting in the CVE we are focusing on in this course: CVE-2021-42013.
