view_component is vulnerable to Path Traversal
59
Medium Risk
This Affects:
view_componentTL;DR
The system test entrypoint resolves a user-supplied file path and checks containment with a plain string prefix comparison. Sibling directories sharing the same prefix can pass this check even when the resolved file is outside the intended temporary base path. This can cause unintended file rendering when test routes are reachable. The fix replaces the unsafe containment logic with separator-aware path checks and handles invalid paths by returning a not-found response.
