GravitLauncher is an open-source Minecraft launcher based on sashok724's v3. Prior to 5.7.12, an unauthenticated remote actor can send a raw HTTP request target without a leading slash to the default LaunchServer file server on port 9274. FileServerHandler.channelRead0 in components/launchserver/src/main/java/pro/gravit/launchserver/socket/handlers/fileserver/FileServerHandler.java strips the first request-target character and resolves the remaining path against updatesDir without re-normalizing and verifying containment. This leaves parent-directory components in a no-leading-slash request and allows reading any file accessible to the LaunchServer process, including .keys/ecdsa_id, .keys/legacySalt, and LaunchServer.json. Disclosure of those files can expose signing keys, refresh-token material, and database credentials, enabling forged administrative access tokens and full authentication bypass. A normalizing L7 proxy may block the primary request form, but direct exposure and L4/TCP proxies remain affected, and netty.fileServerEnabled is enabled by default. This issue is fixed in 5.7.12.

Affected: Maven: pro.gravit.launcher:launchserver-api

### Summary An unauthenticated path traversal in the LaunchServer HTTP file server (`FileServerHandler`) lets any remote actor read **any file** readable by the LaunchServer process (e.g. `../../../../etc/passwd`). This is a generic arbitrary-file-read primitive, so the fix must address the traversal itself, not any specific file.

The readable files include the server's own secrets, which turns this from information disclosure into full compromise: the ECDSA private key that signs access JWTs (`.keys/ecdsa_id`), the refresh-token salt (`.keys/legacySalt`), and `LaunchServer.json` (database credentials). With the signing key an attacker mints a valid access token for any account, including admins. That is a full authentication bypass. Pre-auth, default config, port 9274.

**Affected:** GravitLauncher LaunchServer ≤ 5.7.11 (the LaunchServer application; the published `pro.gravit.launcher:*-api` Maven artifacts do not contain the vulnerable code).

### Details In `FileServerHandler.channelRead0`:

```java path = Paths.get(IOHelper.getPathFromUrlFragment(uri)).normalize().toString().substring(1); // line 194 File file = base.resolve(path).toFile(); // line 200 - no second normalize() ```

`substring(1)` blindly strips a leading slash, assuming the request-target always starts with `/`. Netty's `HttpServerCodec` accepts a request-target **without** a leading slash verbatim (`decoderResult().isSuccess() == true`). For such a tar…
