Summary
Handlebars.java before 4.5.5 allows directory traversal. In handlebars-springmvc 4.5.3 and 4.5.4, the path-containment fix for CVE-2026-63490 validates template locations as raw percent-encoded strings, whereas the template file is opened through a URL handler that percent-decodes the path. In a Spring MVC application with a file: template prefix and a request-derived view name, a percent-encoded traversal such as %2e%2e/ bypasses both the view-resolver check and the loader-side containment and reads files outside the configured template base directory.
