Live Path Traversal
Live path-traversal probe — /etc/passwd and win.ini read detection.
Not included in any purchasable tier. Not available — reserved for a future penetration-testing product; no scan runs these probes.

Why we catch it
Active probes against a running site. Not available — reserved for a future penetration-testing product. No GateTest scan or tier runs these probes today.
The Live Path Traversal module sits in this category alongside 4 related modules. Together they form one of the layers of a GateTest scan — checks fire in parallel, findings cluster by root cause, and on paid tiers the AI auto-fix loop reads each finding, writes the fix, validates against the scanner, and opens a PR.
How GateTest covers live path traversal
- Not purchasable. Not available — reserved for a future penetration-testing product; no scan runs these probes. It's registered in the engine, but no tier includes it.
- Would require explicit authorization. If the future product ships, live probes will only run against a target you've proven you own.
