What

.html4ignore 파일을 파싱할 때 ignore_file.useLines를 사용하던 것을 Files.newInputStream(..., LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)를 사용하여 심볼릭 링크를 명시적으로 무시하도록 수정했습니다.

Why

기존 로직은 isFile!Files.isSymbolicLink를 통해 파일이 심볼릭 링크가 아닌지 검사한 후 useLines를 통해 파일을 읽었습니다. 하지만 검사 시점(Time-of-Check)과 사용 시점(Time-of-Use) 사이에 파일이 심볼릭 링크로 교체될 경우 검사를 우회하여 임의의 파일을 읽어 들일 수 있는 TOCTOU 취약점이 존재했습니다. useLines는 내부적으로 심볼릭 링크를 따라가므로 이를 방지해야 합니다.

Impact

심볼릭 링크 스왑 공격을 통한 임의 파일 및 정보 유출 방지.

Measurement

수정 후 모든 기존 단위 테스트 통과 및 JaCoCo 커버리지 100% 유지.

.html4ignore 읽기에서 NOFOLLOW_LINKS를 사용하도록 변경했습니다. 검증과 읽기 사이의 심볼릭 링크 교체 가능성에 대한 보안 기록도 추가했습니다.

심볼릭 링크 추적 방지 및 보안 기록
.jules/sentinel.md, src/main/kotlin/html4tree/main.kt
Files.newInputStreamLinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS를 지정해 .html4ignore 읽기에서 심볼릭 링크 추적을 방지합니다. 검증 후 File.useLines를 사용할 때 발생할 수 있는 TOCTOU 취약점과 대응 방법을 문서화했습니다.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to ee2ff

The change prevents symlink traversal, but a race or filesystem error while opening .html4ignore can still abort directory crawling instead of failing closed. This bounded processing-availability risk should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

📝 Info: Symlink swap in TOCTOU window now throws uncaught

After the !Files.isSymbolicLink guard (main.kt:309), if .html4ignore is swapped to a symlink before Files.newInputStream (main.kt:312), opening throws an uncaught IOException instead of silently following. This is the intended secure outcome, but the read has no try-catch, so this rare race can abort crawling of the directory.

**Prevention:** Build one `Locale.ROOT` lowercase set from the canonical sensitive names, compare every observed name against it, and add the original spelling to the exclusion set so downstream exact membership remains correct.
**Evidence:** `testProcessIgnoreFileTreatsSensitiveNamesCaseInsensitively` failed on test-only commit `472b916cd40f70693c4e1eb48956042a25353feb` (CI run `31469596932`) and passed with the source fix at `bb113d858ccfc42ddaecf6729749b238e5ade2d0` (CI run `31469921661`).

.html4ignore 열기 실패 시 디렉터리 처리를 중단하세요.

검사 후 파일이 삭제되거나 심볼릭 링크로 교체되면 Files.newInputStreamIOException을 던질 수 있습니다. 현재 예외가 process_dircrawl_directories까지 전파되어 처리가 중단됩니다. 오류를 무시하고 기본 제외 목록으로 계속 진행하지 말고, 해당 디렉터리를 렌더링하거나 자식 디렉터리를 등록하지 않는 fail-closed 경로를 사용하세요. 삭제, 심볼릭 링크 교체, 권한 변경 사례를 테스트하고 JaCoCo 100% 커버리지를 유지하세요.
