HIGH 7.5EPSS 0.59%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.59%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The Takes web framework's TkFiles take thru 2.0-SNAPSHOT fails to canonicalize HTTP request paths before resolving them against the filesystem. A remote attacker can include ../ sequences in the request path to escape the configured base directory and read arbitrary files from the host system.
