CVE-2024-29180

A flaw was found in the webpack-dev-middleware package, where it failed to validate the supplied URL address sufficiently before returning local files. This flaw allows an attacker to craft URLs to return arbitrary local files from the developer’s machine. The lack of normalization before calling the middleware also allows the attacker to perform path traversal attacks on the target environment.
