I am performing a penetration testing on an application hosted on an Ubuntu environment.
So using a path traversal vulnerability, I can download any file.
The API web application runs as root (shadow and brute-force are already my friends). Funny situation: I can not find the web root folder.
What I have tried:
- Search for logs that can lead me to the path. nginx or apache2 is not there.
- Search for nginx, apache2 or other configuration files
- Search for common directories of web roots (https://serverfault.com/questions/144598/where-should-the-web-server-root-directory-go-in-linux)
- Bash histories of all users
What else should I try?

Use the traversal vulnerability to read
/proc/self/environ
This prints out environment variables among other thread information.
Look for a environment variable called DOCUMENT_ROOT
