I feel like it could be B) HTTP header attack too, but not really.

I keep mixing up SQL injection and directory traversal attacks. I feel like ".." notation is more about accessing files directly, so maybe A?

This question feels familiar; I practiced a similar one where directory traversal was the focus. I think it's definitely related to A.

I think the answer might be A) URL directory, since I've seen examples where ".." is used to traverse directories.
