Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: fast-http-cli (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue allows an attacker to access the filesystem by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability in fast-http-cli. This can be achieved by placing "../" in the URL. For example, an attacker can send a GET request to "/../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd" to access the contents of the /etc/passwd file. This vulnerability gives an attacker access to sensitive files on the system.

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the fast-http-cli to minimize the risk of exploitation. It is recommended that the package is only used for local development, and if the functionality is needed for production, a different package is used instead.
