Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Express-handlebars is a Handlebars view engine for Express. Express-handlebars mixes pure template data
 with engine configuration options through the Express render API. More specifically, the layout parameter
 may trigger file disclosure vulnerabilities in downstream applications. This potential vulnerability is
 somewhat restricted in that only files with existing extentions (i.e. file.extension) can be included,
 files that lack an extension will have .handlebars appended to them. For complete details refer to the
