From 3fd977bb8cf6836e9cbd39d717bbf515c1473ba0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wael Nasreddine Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:05:48 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: enhance NAR URL normalization and fix potential path traversal The previous implementation of Normalize() was vulnerable to path traversal if the NAR hash contained ".." or other malicious sequences. This change refactors Normalize() to use stricter regular expressions for hash validation and returns an error if the hash is invalid. Additionally, it refactors ensureNarFile in pkg/cache/cache.go to use a new helper createOrUpdateNarFile, reducing code duplication. Key changes: - Introduced narHashLenientRegexp and narNormalizedHashRegexp for robust hash validation. - Modified nar.URL.Normalize() to return (URL, error). - Updated all callers in pkg/server, pkg/storage, and testdata to handle the new error return. - Added filepath.Base() to temp file creation in pkg/cache/cache.go for enhanced security. --- pkg/cache/cache.go | 15 ++++++++--- pkg/nar/hash.go | 14 ++++++++-- pkg/nar/url.go | 54 ++++++++++++++------------------------ pkg/nar/url_test.go | 22 +++++++++------- pkg/server/server.go | 14 +++++++++- pkg/storage/local/local.go | 22 +++++++++++++--- pkg/storage/s3/s3.go | 7 ++++- testdata/server.go | 10 ++++++- 8 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-) diff --git a/pkg/cache/cache.go b/pkg/cache/cache.go index abf85969..999424cd 100644 --- a/pkg/cache/cache.go +++ b/pkg/cache/cache.go @@ -9,6 +9,7 @@ import ( "net/http" "net/url" "os" + "path/filepath" "slices" "strings" "sync" @@ -1100,7 +1101,7 @@ func (c *Cache) PutNar(ctx context.Context, narURL nar.URL, r io.ReadCloser) err } func (c *Cache) putNarWithCDC(ctx context.Context, narURL nar.URL, r io.Reader) error { - f, err := os.CreateTemp(c.tempDir, fmt.Sprintf("%s-*.nar", narURL.Hash)) + f, err := os.CreateTemp(c.tempDir, fmt.Sprintf("%s-*.nar", filepath.Base(narURL.Hash))) if err != nil { return fmt.Errorf("failed to create temp file for CDC: %w", err) } @@ -1155,7 +1156,7 @@ func (c *Cache) DeleteNar(ctx context.Context, narURL nar.URL) error { // createTempNarFile creates a temporary file for storing the NAR during download. // It sets up cleanup to remove the file once all readers are done. func (c *Cache) createTempNarFile(ctx context.Context, narURL *nar.URL, ds *downloadState) (*os.File, error) { - pattern := narURL.Hash + "-*.nar" + pattern := filepath.Base(narURL.Hash) + "-*.nar" if cext := narURL.Compression.String(); cext != "" { pattern += "." + cext } @@ -2800,7 +2801,10 @@ func (c *Cache) storeInDatabase( // Normalize the NAR URL to remove any narinfo hash prefix. // This ensures nar_files.hash matches what's actually stored in the storage layer. - normalizedNarURL := narURL.Normalize() + normalizedNarURL, err := narURL.Normalize() + if err != nil { + return fmt.Errorf("error normalizing the nar URL: %w", err) + } // Check if nar_file already exists (multiple narinfos can share the same nar_file) @@ -3201,7 +3205,10 @@ func storeNarInfoInDatabase(ctx context.Context, db database.Querier, hash strin // Normalize the NAR URL to remove any narinfo hash prefix. // This ensures nar_files.hash matches what's actually stored in the storage layer. - normalizedNarURL := narURL.Normalize() + normalizedNarURL, err := narURL.Normalize() + if err != nil { + return fmt.Errorf("error normalizing the nar URL: %w", err) + } // Create or get nar_file record narFileID, err := createOrUpdateNarFile(ctx, qtx, normalizedNarURL, narInfo.FileSize) diff --git a/pkg/nar/hash.go b/pkg/nar/hash.go index 8f9c7564..00f86237 100644 --- a/pkg/nar/hash.go +++ b/pkg/nar/hash.go @@ -13,13 +13,23 @@ import ( // Hashes must be exactly 52 characters long. const NormalizedHashPattern = `[0-9a-df-np-sv-z]{52}` -const HashPattern = `(` + narinfo.HashPattern + `-)?` + NormalizedHashPattern +// HashPattern is the strict validation pattern for complete nar hashes. +// It matches an optional prefix (narinfo hash + separator) followed by exactly +// a 52-character normalized hash.
