Summary

Affected versions of `featurebook` resolve relative file paths, resulting in a directory traversal vulnerability. A malicious actor can use this vulnerability to access files outside of the intended directory root, which may result in the disclosure of private files on the vulnerable system.

The `featurebook` package is not intended to be run in production code nor to be exposed to an untrusted network.

## Proof of Concept ``` GET /../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1 host:foo ```

## Recommendation

No direct patch is currently available.

At this time, the best mitigation is to ensure that `featurebook` is not running in production or exposed to an untrusted network.
