The custom StaticFileHandler overrides validate_absolute_path() to return the path without any validation, removing Tornado's built-in path traversal protection. This allows requests like GET /img/../../../../etc/passwd to read arbitrary files. Restore path validation by using os.path.abspath() in get_absolute_path() and checking the resolved path is within the static root in validate_absolute_path().
