## Overview

### Impact

A path traversal vulnerability in `shame next` allows an attacker-controlled `shamefile.yaml` to disclose contents of files outside the repository, one line at a time, to the terminal of a user who runs the command. See patch commit for technical details.

### Patches

Fixed in 0.1.7. Upgrade to either 0.1.7 or later versions to incorporate the patch.

### Workarounds

Do not run `shame next` against untrusted `shamefile.yaml`. Use `shame me --dry-run` for CI validation.
