Background
serveryaozeyan is an npm package used for local development. It provides functionality for resolving relative file paths. However, it is vulnerable to a directory traversal attack, where a malicious actor can exploit the package to access files outside of the intended directory root. This can lead to the disclosure of private files on the vulnerable system.
Vulnerability Detail
The vulnerability in serveryaozeyan arises from its improper resolution of relative file paths. By manipulating the file path in a specific way, an attacker can traverse directories and access files outside of the intended scope. For example, an attacker can send a GET request with a crafted file path to retrieve sensitive files, such as '/etc/passwd'. This vulnerability poses a significant risk as it can expose confidential information and compromise the security of the system.
