    Summary: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in micronaut-core

    Details: With a basic configuration like ```yaml router: static-resources: assets: enabled: true mapping: /.assets/public/** paths: file:/home/lstrmiska/test/ ``` it is possible to access any file from a filesystem, using "/../../" in URL, as Micronaut does not restrict file access to configured paths. **Repro Steps** - create a file test.txt in /home/lstrmiska - start micronaut - execute command `curl -v --path-as-is "http://localhost:8080/.assets/public/../test.txt"` ### Impact Micronaut can potentially leak sensitive information. See https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/22.html ### Patches ``` diff --git a/core/src/main/java/io/micronaut/core/io/file/DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader.java b/core/src/main/java/io/micronaut/core/io/file/DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader.java index 2f5a91403..19d3b7f05 100644 --- a/core/src/main/java/io/micronaut/core/io/file/DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader.java +++ b/core/src/main/java/io/micronaut/core/io/file/DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader.java @@ -69,6 +69,9 @@ public class DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader implements FileSystemResourceLoader @Override public Optional<InputStream> getResourceAsStream(String path) { Path filePath = getFilePath(normalize(path)); + if (pathOutsideBase(filePath)) { + return Optional.empty(); + } try { return Optional.of(Files.newInputStream(filePath)); } catch (IOException e) { @@ -79,7 +82,7 @@ public class DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader implements FileSystemResourceLoader @Override public Optional<URL> getResource(String path) { Path filePath = getFilePath(normalize(path)); - if (Files.exists(filePath) && Files.isReadable(filePath) && !Files.isDirectory(filePath)) { + if (!pathOutsideBase(filePath) && Files.exists(filePath) && Files.isReadable(filePath) && !Files.isDirectory(filePath)) { try { URL url = filePath.toUri().toURL(); return Optional.of(url); @@ -117,4 +120,15 @@ public class DefaultFileSystemResourceLoader implements FileSystemResourceLoader private Path getFilePath(String path) { return baseDirPath.map(dir -> dir.resolve(path)).orElseGet(() -> Paths.get(path)); } + + private boolean pathOutsideBase(Path path) { + if (baseDirPath.isPresent()) { + Path baseDir = baseDirPath.get(); + if (path.isAbsolute() == baseDir.isAbsolute()) { + Path relativePath = baseDir.relativize(path); + return relativePath.startsWith(".."); + } + } + return false; + } } -- ``` ### Workarounds - do not use ** in mapping, use only * which exposes only flat structure of a directory not allowing traversal - run micronaut in chroot (linux only) ### References See https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/22.html ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [Github](https://github.com/micronaut-projects/micronaut-core/issues) * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
