This document discusses web cache deception techniques that can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in how web caches handle URLs. It begins with background on web caching and the concept of path confusion. It then explains basic and advanced techniques for web cache deception, including using URL encoding, and discusses observations like bypassing CSRF protections and hijacking sessions. The document concludes that correctly configuring caches is challenging, as complex interactions between technologies can be exploited in unintended ways, and variations of these techniques increase the number of vulnerable sites.
