Summary

A flaw was found in restify (node-restify) up to 12.0.0, affecting the serveStatic function in /lib/plugins/static.js. The manipulation causes path traversal. The attack can be initiated remotely and the vendor did not respond to the disclosure.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to read files outside the intended static directory, potentially leading to leakage of sensitive information. The vendor's lack of response means a fix may not be available.
