Description
A flaw was found in Rack. A remote attacker could exploit a vulnerability in Rack::Directory's handling of root paths. When the configured root path contains special regular expression characters, the directory listing generation can fail to properly strip the path prefix. This can lead to the exposure of the full filesystem path in the HTML output, potentially revealing sensitive system information.
