Description

In this pull request, the changes made in the Utility.java file focus on improving file handling operations by incorporating the java.nio.file.Files package for handling file creation and manipulation.

Here are the specific changes in the code diff:

  • Import the Files class from java.nio.file package:

    import java.nio.file.Files;
  • Modify the creation of temporary file object by converting the result of Files.createTempFile to a File object:

    - var file = File.createTempFile("promise_pattern", null);
    + var file = Files.createTempFile("promise_pattern", null).toFile();

Summary by Sourcery

Modernize and secure temporary file creation by replacing java.io.File#createTempFile with java.nio.file.Files#createTempFile to prevent vulnerabilities associated with predictable file names and locations.

Enhancements:

  • Replace usage of java.io.File#createTempFile with java.nio.file.Files#createTempFile to enhance security by using more secure file attributes.

Sensitive Information Disclosure

Play SecureFlag Play Labs on this vulnerability with SecureFlag!

Description

Sensitive Information Disclosure (also known as Sensitive Data Exposure) happens when an application does not adequately protect sensitive information that may wind up being disclosed to parties that are not supposed to have access to it.

Sensitive data can include application-related information, such as session tokens, file names, stack traces, or confidential information, such as passwords, credit card data, sensitive health data, private communications, intellectual property, metadata, the product's source code, etc.

Whichever security flaw is causing the information to be disclosed, all aspects of all kinds of services are potentially at risk. Sensitive Information Disclosure can arise in databases, operating systems, and network devices. It is particularly occurrent in web applications, as highlighted in OWASP's Top 10, which lists Sensitive Information Disclosure as part of the Insecure Design web application security risk of which to be aware.

Necessary privacy and security protection legislation and regulations are created and reworked to try to ensure that organizations holding sensitive data meet their obligations to safeguard such data. The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one such law; the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an example of regulation.

Impact

The scale of impact from a Sensitive Information Disclosure event is limited only by the type of sensitive information disclosed and a malicious actor's ability to leverage it.

For example, the fallout could be as minor as a local pathname being disclosed in a stack trace, allowing a malicious actor to improve their knowledge of the target's implementation details, right through to a full-blown data leak involving millions of customers' confidential data.

Scenarios

One typical example is to permit an end user to receive the default error pages of the application server. This can expose the location on the file system of the file that caused the issue along with the precise version of the server itself, and the third-party components. Attackers can use this knowledge in a variety of ways, for example, to target well-known exploits in one particular version of a component.

A more severe scenario involves a web page rendering an error message from a SQL server for a failed query. If some parameter is in control of the attacker, a malicious actor could exploit this exposure to exfiltrate arbitrary data from the database by sending specially crafted queries.

There are countless technologies sat under the IT umbrella susceptible to this comprehensive vulnerability class; basically, anything not properly tied down containing even minimal information may become the prey of a determined malicious actor.

Prevention

Sensitive Information Disclosure is a symptom of poor security-control implementation in web applications. Preventing it requires developers to adhere to numerous, necessary industry best-practices in line with current regulations to increase the difficulty for the attacker.

  • Developers must first identify which data are sensitive according to the system architecture and regulatory requirements.
  • Developers must ensure data in transit or storage are encrypted.
  • Developers should remove debugging and test functionality from production applications and systems.
  • Developers should review the listed items to determine if a justifiable business need exists for possessing each item present. Any items deemed unnecessary should be removed.
  • Defined application/system build procedures should include steps to remove the files and features that are unnecessary for a production deployment, and internal security processes and controls should confirm this has occurred prior to production release.

Testing

Ensure that data's confidentiality is protected from unauthorized observation or disclosure.

Issue 1: Best Practices

Details: The temporary file created using Files.createTempFile at line 100 in Utility.java should be deleted after its use to prevent resource leakage. Temporary files can accumulate over time and consume disk space unnecessarily.

Proposed Code Fix:

public static String downloadFile(String urlString) throws IOException {
  LOGGER.info("Downloading contents from url: {}", urlString);
  var url = new URL(urlString);
  var file = Files.createTempFile("promise_pattern", null).toFile();
  try (var bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
       var writer = new FileWriter(file)) {
    String line;
    while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
      writer.write(line);
      writer.write(System.lineSeparator());
    }
  } finally {
    if (file.exists()) {
      file.delete();
    }
  }
  return file.getAbsolutePath();
}

Explanation: The fix involves adding a finally block to ensure that the temporary file is deleted after its use, regardless of whether an exception is thrown. This prevents resource leakage by cleaning up temporary files.

Missing Tests

To ensure the changes work correctly, consider adding the following tests:

  1. Test for Temporary File Creation and Deletion:

    • Verify that a temporary file is created when downloadFile is called.
    • Ensure that the temporary file is deleted after the method execution.
  2. Test for Correct File Content:

    • Mock a URL input and check if the content downloaded into the temporary file matches the expected content.
  3. Test for Exception Handling:

    • Simulate an IOException during file operations and verify that the temporary file is still deleted.

Potential issues, bugs, and flaws that can introduce unwanted behavior:

  1. File Handling:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - Changing from File.createTempFile("promise_pattern", null) to Files.createTempFile("promise_pattern", null).toFile() may impact the behavior regarding the creation of temporary files in certain environments, especially if the default temporary directory is not writable or accessible. It's essential to ensure that the directory used by Files.createTempFile is suitable for your environment.

  2. Ignoring Temporary File Deletion:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - The newly created temporary file is not explicitly deleted after its use. If this method is called multiple times, it could lead to multiple temporary files accumulating and potentially filling up the disk space. Make sure to delete the file within a finally block or use java.nio.file.Files.delete(file.toPath()) in the cleanup process.

  3. Error Handling:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - The method does not handle potential IOException when creating the temp file, reading from the URL, or writing to the file. More granular error handling could be beneficial to provide clearer feedback on what part fails if an exception is thrown.

Code suggestions and improvements for better exception handling, logic, standardization, and consistency:

  1. Use try-with-resources for File Management:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - Consider enclosing the FileWriter in a try-with-resources statement to ensure it is closed properly even if an exception occurs.

  2. Temporary File Naming:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - To improve clarity, consider providing a suffix to the temporary file created (e.g., "promise_pattern.txt") to indicate its type, preventing potential confusion regarding file handling later in the process.

  3. Report Exception Context:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - Instead of throwing generic IOException, consider wrapping it in a custom exception that includes context about where the error occurred, which will make debugging easier.

  4. Logging:
    /promise/src/main/java/com/iluwatar/promise/Utility.java - Add logging within the catch block to capture the context of any exceptions thrown. This will aid in diagnosing issues in production scenarios.

By addressing these points, the quality and robustness of the downloadFile method can be significantly improved.

The Utility class imports and uses a wide range of functionalities (I/O, networking, and collections). This could lead to violations of the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). Consider refactoring this class into more focused classes that handle specific types of operations to improve modularity and maintainability.

The downloadFile method lacks validation for the urlString parameter. This could expose the application to security risks such as SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery). It is recommended to implement input validation for URLs to ensure they are within expected and safe boundaries before processing them.

Micro-Learning Topic: Server-side request forgery (Detected by phrase)

Matched on "Server-Side Request Forgery"

What is this? (2min video)

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities are caused when an attacker can supply or modify a URL that reads or sends data to the server. The attacker can create a malicious request with a manipulated URL, when this request reaches the server, the server-side code executes the exploit URL causing the attacker to be able to read data from services that shouldn't be exposed.
