Summary
This change hardens the standalone download page handler against path traversal and arbitrary file read attacks.
What changed
os.path.realpath()DOWNLOAD_DIRbefore serving contentWhy
The previous implementation joined attacker-controlled request paths directly with
DOWNLOAD_DIRand then opened the resulting path without containment checks. Requests such asGET /../../etc/passwdcould escape the intended directory and read arbitrary local files.Scope
node/rustchain_download_page.pyonlyCloses #2050
