Fonoster is vulnerable to directory traversal

Description

Fonoster 0.5.5 before 0.6.1 allows ../ directory traversal to read arbitrary files via the /sounds/:file or /tts/:file VoiceServer endpoint. This occurs in serveFiles in mods/voice/src/utils.ts. NOTE: serveFiles exists in 0.5.5 but not in the next release, 0.6.1.

Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:N)
No account or special rights needed—anonymous or random user is enough.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:C)
Breaking this can reach past the original component and bite other resources—bigger blast radius.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:N)
Data isn’t meaningfully altered or forged.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
