NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libplack-perl package and not the libplack-perl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Plack::App::File in Plack before 1.0031 removes trailing slash characters from paths, which allows remote attackers to bypass the whitelist of generated files and obtain sensitive information via a crafted path, related to Plack::Middleware::Static.
