Found the error Not allowed to load local resource: file:///etc/passwd
while looking at infosec.pub’s communities page. There’s a community called “ignore me” that adds a few image tags trying to steal your passwd file.
You have to be extremely poorly configured for this to work, but the red flags you see should keep you on your toes for the red flags you don’t.
If you find something, report it. Don’t experiment on the public.

THANK YOU! It’s ridiculous how often people who find vulrnabilities on live websites with user data, and decides to exploit it a little just for fun before actually reporting it.
