- In Apache Commons IO before 2.7, When invoking the method FileNameUtils.normalize with an improper input
string, like //../foo, or \\..\foo, the result would be the same value, thus possibly providing access
to files in the parent directory, but not further above (thus limited path traversal), if the calling
code would use the result to construct a path value. (CVE-2021-29425)
