From c942c73136333bc493050910f171a48e6f575b23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Leitschuh Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2022 13:38:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] vuln-fix: Partial Path Traversal Vulnerability This fixes a partial path traversal vulnerability. Replaces `dir.getCanonicalPath().startsWith(parent.getCanonicalPath())`, which is vulnerable to partial path traversal attacks, with the more secure `dir.getCanonicalFile().toPath().startsWith(parent.getCanonicalFile().toPath())`. To demonstrate this vulnerability, consider `"/usr/outnot".startsWith("/usr/out")`. The check is bypassed although `/outnot` is not under the `/out` directory. It's important to understand that the terminating slash may be removed when using various `String` representations of the `File` object. For example, on Linux, `println(new File("/var"))` will print `/var`, but `println(new File("/var", "/")` will print `/var/`; however, `println(new File("/var", "/").getCanonicalPath())` will print `/var`.
