CVE-2017-16139

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

Description: The issue allows an attacker to access the filesystem by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability. This is achieved by placing "../" in the URL, granting access to files outside of the intended directory root. The accessible files are restricted to those with .htm and .js extensions. A malicious actor can use this vulnerability to disclose private files on the vulnerable 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 sensitive files and using the package only for local development. If the functionality is needed for production, it is recommended to use a different package instead.
