What you have to worry about in these situations is information
disclosure. Using the path traversal, an attacker can fingerprint the
OS, applications/daemons installed,  and even the versions in some
cases. Using this information, further attacks can be made on the system
itself.

All,

If you have a web app that has path traversal and null byte vulnerabilities, but
not remote command execution or file upload, is there any way to manipulate the
web server to allow remote retrieval of script source code (e.g.,php, perl, asp)
without it being executed by the web server?

TIA!!
