GHSA-h5fg-jpgr-rv9c: Vert.x-Web Access Control Flaw in StaticHandler’s Hidden File Protection for Files Under Hidden Directories

# Description There is a flaw in the hidden file protection feature of Vert.x Web’s `StaticHandler` when `setIncludeHidden(false)` is configured. In the current implementation, only files whose final path segment (i.e., the file name) begins with a dot (`.`) are treated as “hidden” and are blocked from being served. However, this logic fails in the following cases: - **Files under hidden directories**: For example, `/.secret/config.txt` — although `.secret` is a hidden directory, the file `config.txt` itself does not start with a dot, so it gets served. - **Real-world impact**: Sensitive files placed in hidden directories like `.git`, `.env`, `.aws` may become publicly accessible. As a result, the behavior does not meet the expectations set by the `includeHidden=false` configuration, which should ideally protect all hidden files and directories. This gap may lead to unintended exposure of sensitive information. # Steps to Reproduce ```bash 1. Prepare test environment # Create di...

GHSA-xvp7-8vm8-xfxx: Actual Sync-server Gocardless service is logging sensitive data including bearer tokens and account numbers

### Summary The GoCardless components in Actualbudget in are logging responses to STDOUT in a parsed format using `console.log`and `console.debug` (Which in this version of node is an alias for `console.log`). This is exposing sensitive information in log files including, but not limited to: - Gocardless bearer tokens. - Account IBAN and Bank Account numbers. - PII of the account holder. - Transaction details (Payee bank information, Recipient account numbers, Transaction IDs)... ### Details Whenever GoCardless responds to a request, the payload is printed to the debug log: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/blob/36c40d90d2fe09eb1f25a6e2f77f6dd40638b267/packages/sync-server/src/app-gocardless/banks/integration-bank.js#L25-L27 This in turn logs the following information to Docker (all values removed here. These fields are possibly dependent on what is returned by each institution so may differ): ```json { "account": { "resourceId": "", "iban": "", "bban": "", ...
