Security concerns: unencrypted WebSocket, path‑traversal, HTTP without TLS, mutable GitHub Actions tags #57

Description

@EvanTW

Security issues discovered

  1. Unencrypted WebSocket (ws://) – may be sniffed by attackers.
  2. *Path traversal via \path.join* – user‑provided input can read arbitrary files.
  3. HTTP server without TLS – vulnerable to Man‑in‑the‑Middle attacks.
  4. GitHub Actions mutable tags – potential supply‑chain risk.

Recommended fixes

  • Switch WebSocket to wss://.
  • Validate/sanitize user‑provided paths (use a safe‑join helper).
  • Use HTTPS (self‑signed certs for development, proper certs for production).
  • Pin GitHub Action versions by using fixed SHA hashes instead of mutable tags.

Please review and apply these changes to improve the security posture of the project.
