Someone with access to `app.config` gets access to the `os` module as well as the pointer to the `static` and `uploads` folder - copying the contents of `static` to `uploads`, pointing `static` at `uploads` and making alterations would result in the ability to write arbitrary data to the front end from any file. We are not adding an additional vulnerability with this change. QED `app.config` compromise is a full compromise of the web application. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
