Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Relative Path Traversal via insufficient validation in the getConfigFile function in the UIConfigRest class. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to files located in directories that share a common prefix with the intended folder by crafting specific path inputs.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by checking for folders that start with the same path as the ui-config folder.
