- Flask-Reuploaded provides file uploads for Flask. A critical path traversal and extension bypass
vulnerability in versions prior to 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to achieve arbitrary file write and
remote code execution through Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI). Flask-Reuploaded has been patched in
