🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Path traversal sandbox bypass where StartsWith checks against un-terminated directory paths allowed access to sibling directories with matching prefixes (e.g. /mods/modA bypass check matched /mods/modA_secret).
🎯 Impact: Malicious Lua mods could read, write or require files outside of their designated sandboxes, potentially compromising other mods or system data.
πŸ”§ Fix: Appended trailing Path.DirectorySeparatorChar to base directories before performing StartsWith boundary checks, and allowed exact path matches.
βœ… Verification: Verified unit tests pass and test script validating safe and unsafe paths behaves properly.

Appended trailing Path.DirectorySeparatorChar to base directories before performing StartsWith boundary checks, and allowed exact path matches using .Equals() against the trimmed directory. This prevents prefix-matching path traversal bypasses where an attacker could access directories like /mods/modA_secret by passing a check meant for /mods/modA.
