Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: intsol-package (affected versions not specified)

Description: The intsol-package is a file server that is vulnerable to a directory traversal issue. This issue allows an attacker to access the filesystem 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 unauthorized access to sensitive files on the server.

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 intsol-package 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.
