Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Inert Module up to 1.1.0 on Node.js (JavaScript Library). This affects some unknown processing of the component Inert Directory Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability (File). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

The inert directory handler in inert node module before 1.1.1 always allows files in hidden directories to be served, even when `showHidden` is false.
