node.js – How to fix “Path Manipulation Vulnerability” in some Node js?

I have implemented all kinds of validation but fortify still throwing path manipulation error.
What is correct solution for resolving path manipulation issue in Nodejs for Fortify?

Below is my code

const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");
const SAFE_USERGUIDE_PATH = path.resolve(__dirname, "..", "..", "userGuide");
function readFileSecure(filePath) {
  // normalize fie path
  const safe_input = path.normalize(filePath);

  // Prevent null bytes and absolute paths
  if (filePath.includes("\0") || path.isAbsolute(filePath)) {
    throw new Error("Invalid file path!");
  }

  // Resolve safely within the secure directory
  const safe_path = path.normalize(path.resolve(SAFE_USERGUIDE_PATH, safe_input));

  // Ensure path is still within the SAFE_USERGUIDE_PATH
  if (!safe_path.startsWith(SAFE_USERGUIDE_PATH + path.sep)) {
    throw new Error("Invalid directory access attempt!");
  }

  // Prevent symbolic link attacks
  const stat = fs.lstatSync(safe_path);
  if (!stat.isFile()) {
    throw new Error("Invalid file access!");
  }

  return fs.readFileSync(safe_path, "utf8");
}

I have tried normalize, resolve, character validation and startswith validation but still error coming… The issue was easily resolved in Java app but in nodejs the Foritfy path manipulation is not going
