1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24815)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences, when running vertx web applications that serve files using `StaticHandler` on Windows Operating Systems and Windows File Systems, if the mount point is a wildcard (`*`). A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
