Path traversal in getPlaylist/deletePlaylist bypasses ownership check: any authenticated user can read or delete any other user's playlist
Description
gonic is a music streaming server / free-software subsonic server API implementation. The maintainer's fix in commit 6dd71e6a3c966867ef8c900d359a7df75789f410 added an ownership check based on playlist.UserID. However, playlist.UserID is derived from the first path segment of the attacker-controlled playlist ID, with no path containment on the resolved file path. Any authenticated Subsonic user can therefore bypass the ownership check and read any other user's playlist, delete any other user's playlist, and probe arbitrary file paths on the host for existence/readability. This is a bypass of the boundary the 6dd71e6 fix is trying to enforce; it is closely related to the original GONIC-1 IDOR but uses a different primitive (path traversal in the id parameter rather than direct cross-user access). Commit 0824bed88f6bbc490ba28bf09d28e5dfeb07b445 in version 0.21.0 fixes the issue.
