+
+  When using the ListCategories AMI action, it was possible to traverse
+  upwards through the directories to files outside of the configured
+  configuration directory. This action is now restricted to the configured
+  directory and an error will now be returned if the specified file is
+  outside of this limitation.
+
+  Resolves: #GHSA-33x6-fj46-6rfh
+
+  UserNote: The ListCategories AMI action now restricts files to the
+  configured configuration directory.
