+### Auto-handled HTML file inputs in crawlers / browser automation → local arbitrary file write
+
+Some **browser-powered crawlers** and automation frameworks try to interact with discovered `<input type="file">` elements by **creating a local temporary file** and automatically selecting it in the browser. If the local filename is derived from **page-controlled metadata** such as `accept`, `name`, or `value`, the target website can turn ordinary crawling into a **local arbitrary file write**.
+
+Typical vulnerable flow:
+
+1. The crawler discovers a file input and decides to auto-populate it.
+2. It derives a **local filename** from attacker-controlled HTML attributes.
+3. It writes attacker-controlled bytes to that path.
+4. It calls a browser API such as `selectFile()` on the generated path.
+
+If the implementation accepts any `accept` token starting with `.` as a harmless extension, a payload like `./../../../../target/path/payload.bat` may bypass the check while still carrying **path traversal**. When this string is later passed to `Path.resolve()` / `Path.Combine()` without canonicalization and a **"must stay under temp dir"** check, the final write can escape the temporary directory.
+
+Minimal malicious form:
+
+```html
+<form action="/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
+  <input type="file" name="upload"
+         value="calc.exe"
+         accept="./../../../../Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Startup/burp_calc.bat">
+</form>
+```
+
+In that pattern:
+
+- `value` becomes the **local file content** (`calc.exe` in the example).
+- `accept` becomes part of the **local filename/path**.
+- The result is an **attacker-controlled text file write** anywhere writable if the parent directory already exists.
+
+A practical Windows chain is to target the current user's **Startup** folder so the dropped `.bat` executes on the next logon:
+
+```text
+C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\burp_calc.bat
+```
+
+This is not limited to Burp. Apply the same review to **headless browsers**, **web security scanners**, **test automation**, **RPA bots**, and any tool that processes hostile pages while trying to be "helpful" with file uploads.
+
+Quick audit checklist:
+
+- Never reuse HTML attributes as filesystem paths.
+- Reject `/`, `\\`, `..`, drive letters, UNC prefixes, and absolute paths.
+- Generate the temp filename server-side/tool-side.
+- Canonicalize the final path and verify it still starts with the intended base directory before writing.
+- Treat any auto-filled file input as a potential **local file write sink**, not just a browser interaction.
