Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: f2e-server versions 1.12.11 and earlier

Description: The issue allows an attacker to access the filesystem by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability. This is achieved by placing "../" in the URL, enabling access to files outside the intended directory root, which may result in the disclosure of private files on the vulnerable system. For example, a malicious actor can send a GET request to /../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd to access sensitive files.

Recommendations: Update to version 1.12.12 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of exploitation.
