🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Fix path traversal in file upload handling

[Cukurikik]

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: User-provided filenames were not properly sanitized when building destination file paths in API routes handling file uploads (api/video/[tool]/route.ts and api/plugins/install/route.ts). If a malicious user intercepted the request and changed the filename to include relative paths like ../../, this could result in Path Traversal, writing files to arbitrary directories on the server.
🎯 Impact: Arbitrary File Write (Path Traversal) potentially leading to Remote Code Execution or System Compromise.
🔧 Fix: Wrapped the user-supplied file.name values inside Node's native path.basename() method, which safely strips any malicious directory traversal characters off the filename before prepending it with the UUID or timestamp identifiers.
✅ Verification: Tested API logic using unit tests and verified code manually; testing indicates the issue is fixed without regressions to core functionality.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed path traversal in file upload endpoints by sanitizing user-provided filenames; responses now return sanitized filenames to avoid unsafe server paths.
• Chores
  • CI updates: upgraded Node.js runtime, switched install/cache to pnpm and updated pnpm setup steps across workflows.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sanitized user-supplied filenames with path.basename() in two upload API routes to prevent path traversal; added a sentinel entry documenting the issue and updated CI workflows to use pnpm (pnpm setup and lockfile cache adjustments).

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Security Documentation \.jules/sentinel.md	Added sentinel entry (2024-05-30) describing a path traversal risk in API uploads and recommending path.basename() for filename sanitization.
API Route Sanitization src/app/api/plugins/install/route.ts, src/app/api/video/[tool]/route.ts	Import and use path.basename() to derive safeFileName; replace direct file.name usage when constructing temp/on-disk paths and returned fileName.
CI: pnpm & Node updates .github/workflows/audio-ci.yml, .github/workflows/ci-cd.yml, .github/workflows/video-backend-ci.yml	Switch CI to pnpm (install step and cache keyed by pnpm-lock.yaml), update Node setup and pnpm action/version references.

Poem

🐰 I nibbled through names, removed each sly slash,
basename() saved the day with a hop and a dash.
No ".." shall wander where temp files lie,
Safe paths now hum beneath the sky. 🥕

19-26: Consider centralizing Node/pnpm versions in workflow env

Hardcoded versions at Line 19 and Line 26 may drift over time. This repo already uses top-level NODE_VERSION/PNPM_VERSION in .github/workflows/ci-cd.yml:13-35; mirroring that pattern here will reduce maintenance overhead.

In @.github/workflows/audio-ci.yml:
- Around line 16-26: The workflow config enables actions/setup-node cache:
'pnpm' before pnpm is actually installed, causing "Unable to locate executable
file: pnpm"; fix by installing pnpm first (the step labeled "Setup pnpm" /
pnpm/action-setup@v4) and then run the "Setup Node.js" step that uses cache:
'pnpm', or alternatively remove the pnpm cache flag; reorder the steps so the
pnpm/action-setup step runs before the actions/setup-node step that sets cache:
'pnpm'.
