better-helperjs Vulnerable to Directory Traversal via String Prefix Bypass in Static Server
## Summary A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the production static file server of `better-helperjs` (`<= 3.0.5`). Attackers can read arbitrary files located in adjacent directory structures that share the same string prefix as the intended static root directory. ## Details The framework utilizes a custom static file server engine used when running in `NODE_ENV=production` (`src/ssr/site-server.ts`).
