summary: Path traversal on Windows in path/filepath
description: |-
    A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows.

    On Windows, the filepath.Clean function could transform an invalid path such as
    "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:\b". This transformation of a relative (if
    invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal attack.

    After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative
    (but still invalid) path ".\c:\b".
