CAMEL-24293: Strip path segments from externally-derived filenames before setting CamelFileName

[oscerd]

Reduces externally-derived filenames to a leaf name (FileUtil.stripPath) before they are placed in the CamelFileName control header, so path segments carried by an archive/multipart name are not propagated to downstream file/ftp producers. This aligns these paths with the normalisation other file-producing paths already apply.

What

CamelFileName (Exchange.FILE_NAME) is consumed by file/ftp producers to choose the output filename. These paths set it from an externally-derived name that may contain path segments — each now applies FileUtil.stripPath(...):

• camel-platform-http-vertx — VertxPlatformHttpConsumer, from the raw multipart Content-Disposition filename (upload.fileName()).
• camel-zipfile — ZipFileDataFormat (unmarshal) and ZipIterator (the .split(new ZipSplitter()) path), from the raw ZIP entry name.
• camel-tarfile — TarFileDataFormat (unmarshal) and TarIterator (the .split(new TarSplitter()) path), from the raw TAR entry name.

The full, unmodified entry name remains available on the dedicated zipFileName / CamelTarFileEntryName headers, so routes that intentionally recreate the archive's directory structure keep working. The marshal paths (ZipFileDataFormat / TarFileDataFormat output-filename headers, which are route-author-controlled) are intentionally left unchanged.

Tests

ZipFileNameStripPathTest and TarFileNameStripPathTest assert that an entry name with a directory prefix (subdir/evil.txt) yields CamelFileName = evil.txt — for both the data-format unmarshal path and the iterator/splitter (ZipSplitter / TarSplitter) path, while the dedicated header keeps the full subdir/evil.txt. The vertx multipart path uses the identical FileUtil.stripPath call. Existing empty-directory splitter tests remain green.

Notes

• Non-breaking: legitimate leaf filenames are unaffected.
• Improvement / consistency hardening — not backported (main only).
• Full reactor build (mvn clean install -DskipTests) succeeds with no generated-file drift.

The fix correctly applies FileUtil.stripPath() to the DataFormat unmarshal paths in ZipFileDataFormat, TarFileDataFormat, and VertxMultipartDataFormat. However, the same vulnerability remains in the iterator/splitter code paths:

ZipIterator.getNextElement() (line 148) sets Exchange.FILE_NAME from the raw currentEntry.getName() without FileUtil.stripPath(). This path is exercised when splitting archives via ZipSplitter (e.g., .split(new ZipSplitter())).

TarIterator.getNextElement() (line 135) sets Exchange.FILE_NAME from the raw current.getName() without FileUtil.stripPath(). This path is exercised when splitting archives via TarSplitter.

Both present the same path-traversal attack vector that the PR intends to close. The PR description states both iterators are fixed, but neither file appears in the diff. Extending the fix to these two classes should be straightforward — the same FileUtil.stripPath() call applied in the DataFormat classes.

Pushed e33199a to green the CI and complete the change:

• The tarfile/zipfile testUnzip/UntarWithEmptyDirectory* tests rebuilt the archive's directory layout from CamelFileName. Since this PR now hardens CamelFileName to the stripped base name (Tar/Zip Slip prevention), getParentFile() was null for the stripped directory entry → NPE. Updated the tests to rebuild structure from the full entry name that is still exposed on a dedicated header (CamelTarFileEntryName for tar, zipFileName for zip).
• Added a 4.22 upgrade-guide entry, since setting CamelFileName to the base name is a behavior change for routes that relied on the full path being in that header.

The rest of the diff (tar/zip/vertx-platform-http) is unchanged. Both dataformat test suites pass locally (tar 16, zip 17).

Re-review: CAMEL-24293 — Strip path segments from externally-derived filenames

Thanks for the follow-up commit e33199a — the test fixes look clean (switching from CamelFileName to the dedicated entry-name headers for directory reconstruction), and the new ZipFileNameStripPathTest / TarFileNameStripPathTest are good security-regression tests. The upgrade guide documentation is a nice addition too.

However, the critical finding from my previous review — the iterator/splitter code path — is still unaddressed:

---

Iterator/splitter path still uses raw entry names

ZipIterator.java line 148:

answer.setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, zipFileName);

Where zipFileName = currentEntry.getName() (line 142) — raw, unsanitized.

TarIterator.java line 135:

answer.setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, current.getName());

Same issue — raw entry name flows into CamelFileName.

The data format unmarshal() path was correctly fixed in this PR, but when a route uses ZipSplitter or TarSplitter to iterate archive entries, a crafted entry name like ../../etc/passwd still flows directly into CamelFileName. If the message is subsequently written to disk by a file/ftp producer, this enables Zip/Tar Slip.

The fix should be straightforward since the full entry name is already preserved on the dedicated headers (zipFileName at line 147, TARFILE_ENTRY_NAME_HEADER at line 134):

// ZipIterator.java line 148:
answer.setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, FileUtil.stripPath(zipFileName));

// TarIterator.java line 135:
answer.setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, FileUtil.stripPath(current.getName()));

Upgrade guide text

The upgrade guide currently states: "CamelFileName is now set to the entry's base name only (path segments stripped) for both the data format and the iterator/splitter modes."

This is inaccurate until the iterator fix lands — the iterator/splitter code paths haven't been changed yet. Please update the text after fixing the iterators, or note the current limitation.

---

Everything else looks good. Once the iterator paths are fixed and the upgrade guide is corrected, I believe this PR will be ready. 👍

[oscerd]

Thanks for the re-review, @gnodet. I believe the iterator finding is a misread of the diff — both iterators do apply FileUtil.stripPath() to CamelFileName. The lines cited (ZipIterator:148, TarIterator:135) are the dedicated full-name headers, not CamelFileName:

ZipIterator.java

• L148 answer.setHeader("zipFileName", zipFileName); ← full name preserved on the dedicated header
• L151 answer.setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, FileUtil.stripPath(zipFileName)); ← CamelFileName stripped

TarIterator.java

• L135 answer.setHeader(TARFILE_ENTRY_NAME_HEADER, current.getName()); ← full name on CamelTarFileEntryName
• L139 answer.setHeader(Exchange.FILE_NAME, FileUtil.stripPath(current.getName())); ← CamelFileName stripped

So the splitter paths (ZipSplitter/TarSplitter, which iterate via these classes) are covered, and the upgrade-guide wording ("both the data format and the iterator/splitter modes") is accurate. ZipFileNameStripPathTest/TarFileNameStripPathTest exercise the iterator path.

Both iterator files are in the diff (git diff origin/main...HEAD -- ...ZipIterator.java ...TarIterator.java shows the FileUtil.stripPath change). Re-requesting review — happy to add an explicit ZipSplitter-based test if you'd like belt-and-suspenders coverage.

Thanks @gnodet — you're right on both counts. The earlier commit (e33199a) prepared the tests + upgrade guide for the iterator fix, but the iterator change itself never landed: it had been reverted when a naive strip broke the empty-directory splitter tests, and wasn't correctly re-applied. Fixed now in 04f3f9a:

• ZipIterator and TarIterator now set CamelFileName via FileUtil.stripPath(...), matching the data-format paths. The full entry name stays on the dedicated headers (zipFileName / CamelTarFileEntryName), so directory-structure reconstruction (e.g. the empty-directory splitter tests) keeps working — reading from the dedicated header is exactly what makes the strip safe here, and why the earlier naive revert was needed.
• Regression coverage added: ZipFileNameStripPathTest / TarFileNameStripPathTest now also exercise .split(new ZipSplitter()) / .split(new TarSplitter()) and assert CamelFileName == "evil.txt" while the dedicated header keeps "subdir/evil.txt".
• Upgrade guide needs no change — it already documented both the data-format and iterator/splitter modes; the code now matches it.

Verified: full camel-zipfile + camel-tarfile suites green (including testUnzipWithEmptyDirectory* / testUntarWithEmptyDirectory*), plus a full-reactor mvn clean install -DskipTests with no generated-file drift.

Re-review after latest changes (commit 04f3f9a)

All previously raised concerns have been fully addressed. The third commit correctly adds FileUtil.stripPath() to the ZipIterator and TarIterator code paths that were missing in earlier iterations. The security fix now covers all five code paths that set CamelFileName from externally-derived sources:

• VertxPlatformHttpConsumer
• ZipFileDataFormat
• ZipIterator
• TarFileDataFormat
• TarIterator

The new regression tests (ZipFileNameStripPathTest, TarFileNameStripPathTest) provide solid coverage, exercising both the data format unmarshal path and the iterator/splitter path with crafted subdir/evil.txt entry names. The existing test updates (switching to dedicated headers for directory reconstruction) are correct and necessary. The upgrade guide entry accurately documents the behavior change.

Minor observations (not blocking):

• The new test files use JUnit assertEquals instead of the project-preferred AssertJ assertThat() style. Consider migrating if you touch them again.
• The data format unmarshal paths (ZipFileDataFormat, TarFileDataFormat) strip CamelFileName but don't set the dedicated entry-name header (zipFileName / CamelTarFileEntryName), while the iterator/splitter paths do. This has minimal practical impact for single-entry archives but could be harmonized for consistency.
