Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions shttp versions prior to 0.0.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read files via a combination of ".." and sub-directory specifiers that resolve to a pathname that is at or below the same level as the web document root, but in a different part of the directory tree. This is due to a problem in the safe path function.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.0.5, update to version 0.0.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
