Sanitize user-controlled variables for file paths.
This Pull Request was automatically generated by Jit. We highly recommend that you check the suggestion and make
sure everything works before merging it. An explanation of the suggested changes is available below.
What changes are proposed in this PR?
Replace the user-controlled variables in file paths with pathInsecure and sanitize input by removing '..' from path using String.replaceAll() method, while maintaining the original file name.
Why are these changes important?
The provided code snippet allows user input to control a file path, opening up the possibility of a malicious attacker controlling the location of the file, including going back in directory with
../. This could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code by overwriting existing files or introducing new ones which can be executed by an unsuspecting user. By sanitizing the input and replacing user-controlled variables with a constant likepathInsecure, we ensure that no unwanted behavior happens.
