It’s called a Path Traversal attack.
Basically, if you add a …/ in a query, you can start to work backwards in the directory tree to root, then go up again to someplace you shouldn’t go. The firewall doesn’t block this attack, cause it’s just doing a regular HTTP(s) request.
How would a firewall be related to this? A firewall would block/allow the ports 80/443 from certain sources. That’s it. Whatever is happening here it’s related to OS permissions and web server configuration.
