Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass due to a failure to restrict file stats through the fs.lstat API that allows attackers to retrieve stats from files to which they do not have explicit read access.
Note: This is exploitable only for users of the experimental permission model when the --allow-fs-read flag is used.
