== How to fix it in Java I/O API
=== Code examples
:canonicalization_function1: java.io.File.getCanonicalFile
:canonicalization_function2: java.io.File.getCanonicalPath
include::../../common/fix/code-rationale.adoc[]
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,kotlin,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
class Example {
companion object {
private const val TARGET_DIRECTORY = "/example/directory/"
}
fun extractEntry(zipFile: ZipFile) {
val entries = zipFile.entries()
val entry = entries.nextElement()
val inputStream = zipFile.getInputStream(entry)
val file = File(TARGET_DIRECTORY + entry.name)
inputStream.copyTo(file.outputStream())
}
}
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,kotlin,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
class Example {
companion object {
private const val TARGET_DIRECTORY = "/example/directory/"
}
fun extractEntry(zipFile: ZipFile) {
val entries = zipFile.entries()
val entry = entries.nextElement()
val inputStream = zipFile.getInputStream(entry)
val file = File(TARGET_DIRECTORY + entry.name)
val canonicalDestinationPath = file.canonicalPath
if (canonicalDestinationPath.startsWith(TARGET_DIRECTORY)) {
inputStream.copyTo(file.outputStream())
}
}
}
----
=== How does this work?
include::../../common/fix/how-does-this-work.adoc[]
=== 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.
