CVE-2017-16159

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: caolilinode versions (affected versions not specified)

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

Recommendations: At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. It is recommended that caolilinode is only used for local development. If the functionality is needed for production, it is recommended to use a different package instead.
