Mako is a template library written in Python. Prior to 1.3.12, on Windows, a URI using backslash traversal (e.g. ....\ secret.txt) bypasses the directory traversal check in Template.init and the posixpath-based normalization in TemplateLookup.get_template(), allowing reads of files outside the configured template directory. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.3.12.
