Node.js-specific security flaws

Node.js version 8.5.0 included a change which caused a security vulnerability in the checks on paths made by some community modules. As a result, an attacker may be able to access file system paths other than those intended.

This problem was resolved within Node.js by partially reverting https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/b98e8d995efb426bbdee56ce503017bdcbbc6332.
