Submit #802084: edvardlindelof notes-mcp 0.1.4 Path Traversalinfo

Titleedvardlindelof notes-mcp 0.1.4 Path Traversal
Description`notes-mcp` is configured with a single `root_dir` that is supposed to represent the note vault. All file tools then operate by concatenating caller-controlled relative paths onto that root with `root_dir / path`, but the implementation never resolves the resulting path or checks that it remains under `root_dir`. Any caller who can invoke the MCP tools can therefore use `../` segments to read, create, or delete files outside the intended notes directory.
