guard-livereload has a directory traversal vulnerability

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting improper path validation in the livereload server functionality.

This vulnerability is related to the handling of file paths in the livereload server component, which could allow an attacker to traverse directories and access files outside the intended web root directory.

The issue was identified and reported through the DWF (Distributed Weakness Filing) project, which assigns CVE identifiers for security vulnerabilities.

A directory traversal vulnerability exists in guard-livereload before version 2.5.2.
