Hidden Directories Always Served

Overview

Versions 1.1.1 and earlier of inert are vulnerable to an information leakage vulnerability which causes files in hidden directories to be served, even when showHidden is false.

The inert directory handler always allows files in hidden directories to be served, even when showHidden is false.

Recommendation

Update to version >= 1.1.1.
