PROBAR ESTA REGLA ID: javascript-node-security/detect-non-literal-fs-filename
Language: JavaScript
Severity: Warning
Category: Security
Description An attacker could manipulate the file system call argument, leading to a path traversal attack. In this case, the attacker can get access to files and directories within your server file system.
