|---|---|---|---|
| npm | tinyserver2 | < 0.6.0 | 0.6.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Affected versions of `tinyserver2` resolve relative file paths, resulting in a directory traversal vulnerability. A malicious actor can use this vulnerability to access files outside of the intended directory root, which may result in the disclosure of private files on the vulnerable system.
**Example request:**
```http
GET /../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
host:foo
```
## Recommendation
Update to v0.6.0 or later.
