@fonoster/voicenpmDescription
Fonoster 0.5.5 before 0.6.1 allows ../ directory traversal to read arbitrary files via the /sounds/:file or /tts/:file VoiceServer endpoint. This occurs in serveFiles in mods/voice/src/utils.ts. NOTE: serveFiles exists in 0.5.5 but not in the next release, 0.6.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @fonoster/voice, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update @fonoster/voice to 0.6.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-43035 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Resolve every user-supplied path to its canonical form and reject anything that escapes the intended directory, and run the component under an account that has no read or write access outside the directory it legitimately serves.
