How to Block Path Traversal in Uploads
Two dots can escape any upload folder.
#python #pathtraversal #security #uploads #howto #filesystem

Struggling with the #Java Path API in
safePrefix(Path prefix, Path tail)
to resolve tail onto prefix or return null if the result is not a file **below** prefix. This shall prevent path traversal attacks. The code is ugly.
The tricky shit is in things like safePrefix("..", "..") where Path.normalize() does not what we might like it to do.
I would be happy about any code review I can get. (So boosts would be nice.)
Messing for hours with #Java Path api. Safely do:
- given input path, possibly adversarial
- prefix it with a configured outPrefix
- ** make sure the result really points to a file/dir below outPrefix **
Consider a somewhat unluckily configured outPrefix = ".." and an adversarial path "../..". Path.of("../..").startsWith("..") is true. But startsWith() is what AI-coders and even stackoverflow suggest. š±
FAIL.
