Directory traversal vulnerability in the st module before 0.2.5 for Node.js allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a %2e%2e (encoded dot dot) in an unspecified path.
CVE-2014-3744
Score elevated to 7.6 because EPSS predicts 34% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 1.8% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.5 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
