Affected versions are Simple File List through and including 6.1.15. Available context indicates the issue can be tested by requesting traversal targets such as /etc/passwd, which is consistent with arbitrary file read-style path traversal behavior, but the specific vulnerable function or parameter is not provided in the supplied content.
