GHSA-r5jh-q2mw-gcx4: Fission: SanitizeFilePath lexical HasPrefix bypass permits sibling-directory escape

lowCVSS 3.6CVE-2026-50568
SanitizeFilePath in pkg/utils/utils.go validated that a path stayed under a safe directory by calling strings.HasPrefix(path, safedir). This is a lexical check, not a directory boundary check: /packages-extra/evil starts with /packages, so it passed. The function did not enforce a path-separator boundary, so any sibling directory whose name began with the safe-directory string was accepted. Callers included the builder's Clean handler (pkg/builder/builder.go:208) and the fetcher's Fetch / Upload handlers (pkg/fetcher/fetcher.go). A tenant who could pre-create or control a sibling directory under the fetcher / builder's shared volume could induce a write or read outside the intended safe directory. Affected - Project: github.com/fission/fission - Versions: all versions through v1.24.0 with SanitizeFilePath in the tree - Audited commit: 647c141 - Component: pkg/utils/utils.go:SanitizeFilePath - Callers: pkg/builder/builder.go:157,164,208, pkg/fetcher/fetcher.go:296,311,450,496,565,571 - Configuration: default; requires a sibling directory to the safe dir to exist on the filesystem Fix section (paste into the Fix / Patches field) Fixed in v1.25.0 by: - PR #3445 (commit 8298e33e) — migrate every SanitizeFilePath call site (fetcher: storePath / tmpPath / secretDir / configDir / rename + writeSecretOrConfigMap; builder: srcPkg / deployPkg path validation and srcPkg stat) to new pkg/utils/root.go helpers (RootJoin, RootStat, RootWriteFile, RootMkdirAll, RootRename) that operate through os.Root. os.Root enforces directory confinement in the kernel and is recognized by CodeQL go/path-injection as a traversal barrier. - PR #3446 (commit 5aac6f0b) — delete the deprecated SanitizeFilePath itself once no callers remained. The vulnerable function no longer exists in the tree.
