Advanced Security: Audit file handling to prevent Path Traversal #1
If any Python scripts dynamically read or write files based on user input, it's possible for an attacker to use ../ (dot-dot-slash) sequences to escape the intended directory and access sensitive system files (Path Traversal).
Proposed Solution
I propose auditing the file I/O operations across the projects and implementing os.path.abspath validation to ensure all dynamically constructed paths remain strictly within their intended directory boundaries.
I would love to work on this critical security issue under the GSSoC '24 program! Could you please assign it to me?
