Z203: PATH_TRAVERSAL_FATAL

Severity: error Penalty: 0.0 (Fatal Exit 3) Category: security Auto-fixable: No

Rationale

This critical security incident rule (Exit 3) is emitted when a path specifier attempts to escape the repository workspace to access sensitive OS system directories (such as /etc/passwd or /proc/).

How to Fix

Inspect the flagged location in the Markdown file and update the content or configuration:

Bad (Triggers Z203)

<!-- BAD: Attempting to access OS system file -->
Read [System Passwd](../../../../../../etc/passwd).

Good (Resolves Z203)

<!-- GOOD: Reference files inside the repository workspace -->
Read [Local Configuration](../config/settings.json).

Configuration

# Non-suppressible security incident code; triggers Exit 3 immediate abort.
