**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Sanic versions prior to 0.5.1
**Description**
The issue allows reading arbitrary files with directory traversal. This can be demonstrated by the "/static/..%2f" substring, which showcases the vulnerability in handling directory traversal attacks.
