Detect Local File Inclusion(LFI) in web requests (ASIM Web Session)
'LFI vulnerabilities allow an attacker to read (and sometimes execute) files on the victim machine. This can be very dangerous because if the web server is misconfigured and running with high privileges, the attacker may gain access to sensitive information'
