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

Description: The issue concerns a directory traversal problem, allowing an attacker to access the filesystem by including "../" in the URL. This vulnerability enables a malicious actor to access files outside the intended directory root, potentially leading to the disclosure of private files on the vulnerable system. For example, an attacker can send a GET request to access sensitive files, such as /../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd.

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 sensitive files and directories until an alternative solution is available. 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.
