Pull request overview
This PR addresses a security vulnerability (code scanning alert #27) related to uncontrolled path expressions by implementing path validation for user-supplied audio caption file paths. The fix prevents path traversal attacks that could allow access to files outside the intended directory.
Key Changes:
- Added path normalization and validation logic to verify audio caption paths are within the trusted directory
- Implemented error handling to reject malicious file paths with a user-friendly error message
- Updated the caption file variable to use the verified path instead of the original user input

Potential fix for https://github.com/opea-project/GenAIExamples/security/code-scanning/27
To fix the issue, we need to validate the
audio_captionpath to ensure it is within a trusted directory. This can be achieved by:os.path.normpath.static_dir).This approach ensures that even if the user provides a malicious path (e.g.,
../../../etc/passwd), it will not be allowed to access files outside the trusted directory.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
