  transformations to an HTML document to make it usable as an email message body. One of the
  transformations is to convert relative image URLs into attachments using a script-provided
  base directory. If no base directory is provided, it resolves to /, meaning that relative
  image URLs get treated as absolute local file paths and added as attachments. To form a
  remote vulnerability, the msgHTML method must be called, passed an unfiltered, user-supplied
  HTML document, and must not set a base directory.");
