Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Simplehttpserver versions prior to 0.1.0

Description The issue arises from a lack of validation of file names, leading to a Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this by controlling the filename of a file used in the directory listing output.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.1.0, update to version 0.1.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the directory listing output to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using user-controlled filenames in the directory listing until the issue is resolved.
