What is CVE-2018-3731?

This vulnerability involves a lack of validation in the public node module, which allows an attacker to exploit file paths to gain unauthorized access. By manipulating filePath inputs, a malicious user can read sensitive content from any file with a known path. This can lead to significant confidentiality breaches, making it crucial for developers to implement proper input validation and access controls to mitigate such risks.
