Lack of data validation - Path Traversal In github.com/hashicorp/nomad

Description

Arbitrary file reads in HashiCorp Nomad Nomad is an easy-to-use, flexible, and performant workload orchestrator that can deploy a mix of microservice, batch, containerized, and non-containerized applications. HashiCorp Nomad and Nomad Enterprise 0.9.2 through 1.0.17, 1.1.11, and 1.2.5 allow operators with read-fs and alloc-exec (or job-submit) capabilities to read arbitrary files on the host filesystem as root. There are currently no known workarounds. Users are recommended to upgrade as soon as possible to avoid this issue.
