…copies ZipUtils.unzipFile checked only that a canonical path started with the destination prefix: no lexical rejection of a ".." segment, and nothing to stop an entry writing through a symlink already present at its target. AssetsInstallationHelper.extractZipToDir had the elaborate version -- lexical reject, Path.startsWith, a refusal to follow an existing symlink, and a hand-rolled per-parent cache over toRealPath. Each carried a comment asking whoever fixed one to remember the other. Both now call ContainedPathResolver in common. The file is plain java.io/java.nio with no Android dependency and app already depends on common, so the reason the copies gave for existing was never true in the direction that mattered. The installer's substring reject of ".." goes with it: an archive entry legitimately named notes..txt used to abort an entire asset installation. Only a literal ".." segment can name a parent directory, so the per-segment rule loses nothing. What is deliberately not shared is the policy for an existing symlink at a target whose destination is still inside the base. Unzipping a user's project skips the entry and leaves their own gradlew symlink alone; the installer refuses to write through any symlink. That check stays at each call site, one line, labelled as policy. The resolver carries the ancestor caching the installer did by hand, so a bootstrap archive clustering thousands of entries under a few directories still resolves each ancestor once. Verified: 342 tests pass across both modules, and ZipUtils' symlink test fails against the previous implementation -- this is a stronger guard, not a move.

Exercised on hardware: a real first-run asset installationGalaxy Note 20 Ultra, arm64.
That was the open question: the installer's hand-rolled Zero containment rejections across both runs, so nothing in the real archives trips the stricter guard the branch gives Also verified on the same device: One environment note for anyone reproducing this: |
…entry name The cached fast path answered a later path under an already-verified directory without looking at it again, so anything that replaced that directory with a symlink in between would be followed. Measuring settled whether the guarantee was affordable: a real 1.8 GB asset installation on device takes 48.0 s with every resolve revalidating, against 51.4 s with the cache and 51.3 s with the hand-rolled cache it replaced. Extraction is I/O and inflate; the check is noise. The cache is gone and the numbers are in the comment. File(destDir, entry.name).toPath() threw InvalidPathException for a name the platform cannot represent -- an unchecked exception escaping unzipFile's declared IOException contract before the resolver ever saw the entry. It now arrives as the IOException the function promises, with a test. PathTraversalTest swallowed every FileSystemException into a skipped test, which could have quietly removed the symlink-escape assertion from CI. It now skips only the known Windows privilege restriction and rethrows anything else, matching ZipUtilsTest. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review of #1736 found the containment check could quietly fall back to lexical-only matching -- weaker than the canonical-prefix check it replaced, and silent about it. Two ways in, both fixed by resolving the base per call instead of pinning it in the constructor: - The constructor caught the IOException from toRealPath() and nulled the field, disabling layer 3 for the resolver's whole life. An unresolvable base is now refused outright, with a warning. - Files.exists() is false both for "absent" and for "cannot be determined", so a base under a non-traversable parent read as absent and skipped layer 3. Confirmed-absent is now distinguished by catching NoSuchFileException from toRealPath() itself, which also drops a redundant stat. Pinning the base at construction was stale besides: the asset installer builds its resolver before the directory exists, so layer 3 never ran again even after extraction created the tree. A symlink planted into the base after construction now gets caught. Also in ZipUtils, containment is checked before the existing-symlink policy. In the old order an entry aiming outside the target could hit a symlink first and be skipped as a benign "leave the user's link alone" case, masking the zip-slip rejection; the skip is now logged. Both new tests were confirmed to fail against the unfixed code, for the reasons they are named for. Docs corrected where they overclaimed: the resolver is not yet the only containment check in the tree (ZipRecipeExecutor and PluginLoader remain -- ADFA-5266), it does not memoize, and unzipFile does not extract literally every entry. The deliberate narrowing over the old canonical-prefix check (a/../b.txt now fails) is documented and pinned by a test.

…ect "." Review fixes on the shared containment PR (#1736): - unzipFile now returns an UnzipResult (extracted + skipped) so callers can tell when an entry was left unextracted over an existing symlink. doInstallWrapper verifies the wrapper files actually exist under the project dir instead of trusting a non-empty extraction list. - A dangling symlink inside destDir no longer aborts the archive as an escape: a lexically-contained symlink at the entry's path takes the same skip branch as a live one -- nothing is written at or through it. - Drop the unreachable catch(InvalidPathException): the resolver catches it internally and returns null, so an unusable entry name now surfaces through the one IOException, and the NUL-name test asserts a message substring unique to the branch that fires. - ContainedPathResolver rejects "." and "./" (they normalize to the base itself, which is not a path inside it), and warns instead of silently swallowing an unexpected IOException from ancestor.toRealPath(); a NoSuchFileException there is the dangling-link rejection working and stays quiet. - Reword the ZipUtils ordering comment as a present-tense invariant (the claimed history was false against stage) and the per-call base resolution comments to their true grounds (a caller may construct before the base exists; an existing base can gain a symlink later). - Extract the guarded symlink-creation test helper into SymlinkTestSupport.kt and use it in all three call sites, including the previously unguarded one; add regression tests for the dangling in-base symlink skip and for "." / "./".

Review of #1736 found a gap between the resolver and unzipFile's symlink-skip fallback: the resolver rejects a ".." segment lexically, but the fallback normalized the entry name before its symlink check, so an entry named a/../link.txt -- with an existing symlink at destDir/link.txt -- was silently skipped as "the user's own link" instead of failing the archive. The narrowing this PR documents ("a ../ entry fails the archive") thus had one path around it whenever a symlink happened to sit at the normalized target. The lexical reject is now extracted from resolve() into ContainedPathResolver.isLexicallyRejected and applied by isContainedSymlink before it looks at the filesystem: an entry that fails on syntax is a bad archive however the disk looks, never fallback material. One shared predicate rather than a duplicate, so the two cannot drift. The new test was confirmed to fail against the unfixed code: the entry was skipped, no IOException.

The fallback stat'ed the entry's normalized path, which follows an ancestor symlink: with dest/a -> /outside and entry "a/link.txt", it stat'ed /outside/link.txt, saw a symlink there, and skipped the entry -- silently tolerating an escaping archive instead of failing it. Now every ancestor between destDir and the candidate must itself be a non-link, so only a symlink whose whole path is real directories inside destDir qualifies for the skip; anything else fails the archive with the containment IOException. The dangling-symlink and existing-symlink skip behaviors are unchanged. Adds a regression test where destDir/a links to an outside directory whose link.txt is itself a symlink; the entry must throw, not skip.
…efore it The symlink policy is a stat, and the write is a separate open, so a link appearing between them is followed: FileOutputStream resolves links, and Kotlin's File.outputStream() is a thin inline wrapper over it. Both write boundaries now pass LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS to Files.newOutputStream, which puts O_NOFOLLOW in the open(2) call, so there is no window between deciding and doing. This closes the final component only. A symlink substituted for one of the parent directories is still followed -- by mkdirs() and by the open -- because resolving a path relative to an already-open directory needs openat(2), which java.nio does not expose. Narrowing that further means JNI or a different extraction strategy, so it is recorded in both files rather than implied away. Worth stating the exposure while it is fresh: for the asset installer destDir is app-private storage, which another app cannot write to, so the race needs code execution in this process or root. For project archives extracted into user-visible storage the window is real. ZipUtilsTest covers the enforcement directly -- writeNoFollow is internal for that reason, since the policy check above it means a race is otherwise the only way to reach the open, and a race is not something a test can stage reliably. Without NOFOLLOW_LINKS the same test writes "payload" through the link and fails. 84 common tests and 294 app tests pass. Found in review of PR #1736.
The comment on the symlinked-grandparent test still explained the depth choice in terms of a toRealPath() check running after createDirectories(). This branch moved containment ahead of every mkdir, so that check is gone and neither depth reaches a mkdir at all. Two levels is still the right shape for the test, for a different reason: "linked/sub/nested.txt" has no ".." and does start with destDir, so it is exactly the case a lexical check alone lets through.

Code review at high effort. The core containment algorithm holds up and is strictly stronger than both copies it replaces for every escape shape I could construct: final-component links, directory-symlink ancestors at any depth, dangling links, and symlinks planted after the check.
Verified along the way:
- The platform assumptions the new code rests on, with standalone JDK probes:
Files.newOutputStream(..., NOFOLLOW_LINKS)throws on a symlink and leaves the target untouched;Path.resolve("")returns the base; a NUL in a name throwsInvalidPathException;ZipFiledoes surface a NUL-containing entry name (so the new not a usable path test reaches the code it targets);toRealPath()on a dangling link throwsNoSuchFileException;exists(dangling, NOFOLLOW_LINKS)is true. - All production callers of
unzipFile(onlyGradleBuildService;UnzipCallableis unused), and the wrapper-zip entry names againstGradleWrapperGeneratorTask-- they match the newmissinglist exactly. - All nine shipped asset zips for
..,./, and absolute entries. None. - Each new test hand-traced against the new implementation; all reach the branch they claim to.
The findings below are about contract and diagnostics edges, not the algorithm.

An entry whose target is a pre-existing symlink pointing outside destDir is now skipped and the call returns success. The old outFile.canonicalPath.startsWith(destDirPath) check threw, because canonicalPath resolves the link.
Path through the new code: resolve() returns null (layer 3 rejects the outside real path), then isContainedSymlink sees a link whose ancestors are all real dirs inside destDir and returns true, so the entry lands in skipped and extraction continues.
Concretely: a project with gradlew symlinked to /sdcard/shared/gradlew and no gradle/wrapper/* entries. Old code failed the archive and doInstallWrapper returned false. New code skips gradlew, extracts the other two, and File(projectDir, "gradlew").exists() (line 559, follows links) reports it present -- so the wrapper is declared usable and the build executes a script the IDE never installed.
Nothing is written through the link, so this is a contract/reporting weakening rather than a write escape. But the KDoc contradicts itself on it: line 77 says a link "even pointing outside destDir" is skipped, while lines 80-83 say an entry that "would land outside destDir (zip-slip)" fails the whole call. Worth deciding which one is the policy and making code and doc agree.

A zip containing a . or ./ root entry now aborts the entire asset installation; it used to be a harmless no-op.
resolve(".")/resolve("./") normalizes to the base and is deliberately refused (PathTraversal.kt:93), so line 282 throws. The old code passed it through to Files.createDirectories(destDir), which did nothing.
I confirmed none of the nine current asset zips carries such an entry, and that Info-ZIP's zip -r x.zip . does not emit one -- so this is latent rather than live. But the asset zips are fetched from an external URL per CLAUDE.md, and archivers that write a . root entry exist. A if (destFile == destDir) return@useEntriesEach-style tolerance for the root entry, or an explicit note that such an archive is rejected on purpose, would keep this from becoming a mystery install failure after an asset refresh.

This Refusing to extract over an existing symlink branch is now unreachable for the two cases the policy is actually about, and those cases abort with a message that misidentifies the cause.
contained.resolve() returns null first for a dangling link (ancestor.toRealPath() -> NoSuchFileException, PathTraversal.kt:146) and for a link pointing outside destDir (PathTraversal.kt:157), so line 282 throws "Zip entry escapes the target dir: <name>" instead. Only a link whose real target is inside destDir still reaches here.
Two consequences:
- The existing test
rejects extraction over an existing symlink(ExtractZipToDirMergeTest.kt:158) creates a dangling link and asserts only the exception type, so it now passes through the wrong branch and no longer covers the check it was written for. - A 1.8 GB install that dies 9,000 entries in reports "escapes the target dir" for what is really "a symlink is sitting there".

isContainedSymlink re-implements the resolver's containment algorithm in a second place -- absolutize + normalize base, base.resolve(name).normalize(), == base, startsWith(base). That is the exact drift this PR exists to remove.
It borrows layer 1 via isLexicallyRejected but hand-rolls layer 2. If ContainedPathResolver's containment rule changes (say resolved == base becomes permitted, or normalization moves), the fallback silently keeps the old rule and the two disagree again -- with the fallback being the branch that decides skip vs. fail.
Exposing layer 2 the way layer 1 is already exposed (an internal fun lexicalResolve(name): Path?) would leave only the ancestor-link walk local here.

resolve() returns null for "containment cannot be determined" as well as for "escapes", and both callers render that as a security failure.
A transient toRealPath() failure on the base or on the nearest existing ancestor (EACCES from a mode change, EIO) makes AssetsInstallationHelper abort the whole installation with "Zip entry escapes the target dir", and ZipUtils throw "does not resolve to a safe path".
Failing closed is right -- the issue is that the tri-state is lost at the API boundary, so the operator gets a zip-slip accusation for a filesystem error. This log.warn (and the one at line 147) is the only way to tell them apart, and it is on a different logger than the exception the user sees. A sealed result, or at least distinct exception messages, would let the caller say which happened.
3 participants
Two implementations of the same path-containment check existed in the tree, and they were not equivalent.
ZipUtils.unzipFile(common) checked onlyoutFile.canonicalPath.startsWith(destDirPath)— no lexical rejection of a..segment, and nothing stopping an entry writing through a symlink already present at its target.AssetsInstallationHelper.extractZipToDir(app) had the thorough version: lexical reject,Path.startsWith, a refusal to follow an existing symlink, and a hand-rolled per-parent cache overtoRealPath.Each carried a comment asking whoever fixed one to remember the other. They had already drifted by the time anyone read both.
One algorithm
ContainedPathResolver, incommon/utils/PathTraversal.kt. The file is plainjava.io/java.niowith no Android dependency andappalready depends oncommon, so the reason the copies gave for existing — "this module can't depend on that one" — was never true in the direction that mattered.Two hand-rolled checks elsewhere are not migrated here:
ZipRecipeExecutorandPluginLoader(ADFA-5266). So this is one fewer copy, not yet the only one, and the KDoc says so.A bug fixed on the way
The installer rejected any entry name containing
.., so an archive holding a legitimately namednotes..txtaborted the whole asset installation. Only a literal..segment can name a parent directory, so the per-segment rule gives up nothing. Test:extracts an entry whose name merely contains a double dot, which fails against the old rule.Deliberate narrowing
Against
ZipUtils' old canonical-prefix check, an entry likea/../b.txtnormalizes back inside the base and used to extract. It now fails the archive, matching what the installer already enforced. Pinned by a test so it is a decision rather than an accident.What is deliberately not shared
The policy for an existing symlink at a target whose destination is still inside the base directory. The callers legitimately disagree — unzipping a user's project skips the entry and leaves their own
gradlewsymlink alone, while the installer refuses to write through any symlink at all. That check stays at each call site, one line, labelled as policy. Folding it in would have silently changed one of them.Fixed in review
toRealPath()'sIOExceptionand nulled the field, silently downgrading every later call to lexical containment — weaker than the check being replaced. AndFiles.exists()is false both for absent and for cannot be determined, so a base under a non-traversable parent read as absent and skipped the symlink layer entirely. The base is now resolved per call, confirmed-absent distinguished by catchingNoSuchFileExceptionfromtoRealPath()itself.ZipUtilsapplied the existing-symlink policy before the containment check, so an entry aiming outside the target could be skipped as a benign "leave the user's link alone" case instead of failing the archive. Containment now runs first, and the skip is logged.Both new tests were confirmed to fail against the unfixed code, for the reasons they are named for.
Performance
No caching, deliberately. Reusing a proven-contained ancestor answers later paths under it without looking, so anything that swaps in a symlink in between gets written through. Measured on a real 1.8 GB asset installation on device: 48.0 s with no cache, 51.4 s with one, 51.3 s for the hand-rolled cache it replaced. Extraction is I/O and inflate; this is noise. (An earlier draft of this description claimed the resolver carried the installer's cache — it never did after the second commit.)
Verification
346 tests pass across
:common(79) and:app(267). The interesting one:ZipUtils' symlink test fails against the previous implementation, so this is a stronger guard rather than a lateral move.PathTraversalTest(16 cases) covers the traversal, encoding, fail-closed and symlink paths directly.Relationship to #1651
That PR's review is what surfaced this, and it adds a third copy of the same algorithm for deep-link file resolution. Whichever of the two lands second should delete the copy in
app/utils/PathTraversal.ktand use this one — noted on both PRs.resolveWithinDirectoryhas no production caller on this branch for that reason; it is #1651's entry point.
