What is CVE-2014-3744?

The st module for Node.js, prior to version 0.2.5, is vulnerable to a directory traversal issue. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit path traversal sequences, such as encoded dot segments (%2e%2e), to read arbitrary files on the server. If successfully exploited, this could result in sensitive information leakage, exposing critical application data or configuration files that should remain secure.
