🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Fix path traversal in file download/read#74
Conversation
- Resolves an issue in StatusSocket.swift where `expandingTildeInPath` failed to prevent path traversal when validating configuration files. - Refactored `handleValidateConfig` to use `.standardizingPath` and strictly ensure paths resolve inside the allowed `~/.cacheout/` boundary. - Documented findings in .jules/sentinel.md.

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: Path traversal vulnerability in
StatusSocket.swift'svalidate_configsocket command. TheexpandingTildeInPathmethod does not resolve parent directory (..) components, potentially allowing malicious actors to bypass directory restrictions.🎯 Impact: An attacker could provide a crafted path (e.g.,
../../../etc/passwd) via the unix socket, leading to arbitrary file reads outside of the intended configuration directory.🔧 Fix: Mitigated the vulnerability by applying
.standardizingPathafter.expandingTildeInPath, and enforcing directory boundaries by verifying the final path.hasPrefix()strictly against the~/.cacheout/allowed directory path.✅ Verification: Run
swift testto confirm regressions are avoided and tests pass (if environment permits). Read the associated code to confirm traversal vectors are closed.PR created automatically by Jules for task 13364906497957853153 started by @acebytes
