+
+=== Pitfalls
+
+include::../../common/pitfalls/partial-path-traversal.adoc[]
+
+For example, the following code is vulnerable to partial path injection. Note
+that the string `targetDirectory` does not end with a path separator:
+
+
+[source, kotlin]
+----
+companion object {
+    private const val targetDirectory = "/Users/John"
+}
+
+fun ExtractEntry(zipFile: ZipFile) {
+    val entries = zipFile.entries()
+    val entry = entries.nextElement()
+    val inputStream = zipFile.getInputStream(entry)
+
+    val file = File(entry.name)
+
+    val canonicalDestinationPath = file.canonicalPath
+    if (canonicalDestinationPath.startsWith(targetDirectory)) {
+        Files.copy(inputStream, file.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)
+    }
+}
+----
+
+This check can be bypassed because `"/Users/Johnny".startsWith("/Users/John")`
+returns `true`. Thus, for validation, `"/Users/John"` should actually be
+`"/Users/John/"`.
+
+**Warning**: Some functions, such as `.getCanonicalPath`, remove the
+terminating path separator in their return value. +
+The validation code should be tested to ensure that it cannot be impacted by this
+issue.
