The traversal/absolute rejection is nested inside if (cssFile) { … }. When PostCSS is invoked without the from option, cssFile is falsy and that branch is skipped, leaving only the .map extension check. PreviousMap is constructed by …

PostCSS: Arbitrary file read and information disclosure via attacker-controlled sourceMappingURL in CSS comments

PostCSS's PreviousMap parses the /*# sourceMappingURL=PATH */ comment from any CSS string passed to process() and dereferences PATH against the local filesystem with no scheme, allowlist, or traversal check. An attacker who controls the CSS input can cause the host process to read any file readable by Node and leak the first ~10 bytes of its content through the resulting JSON.parse SyntaxError message. The bug also yields a precise file-existence …
