Affected versions of `ltt.js` resolve relative file paths, resulting in a directory traversal vulnerability. A malicious actor can use this vulnerability to access files outside of the intended directory root, which may result in the disclosure of private files on the vulnerable system.
Example request:
```
GET /../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd HTTP/1.1

Recommendation

It is recommended that the package is only used for local development, and if the functionality is needed for production, a different package is used instead.
