…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.

…inks Re-review follow-ups: - ContainedPathResolver.resolve() returns a sealed Resolution -- Contained / Rejected / Unverifiable -- so "escapes" and "could not be determined" no longer share one null. Both extraction call sites now throw distinct messages: escape, symlink refusal, and cannot-verify (naming the cause). - unzipFile's symlink-skip fallback skips only a pre-existing link that stays inside destDir; a link leading outside -- live, or dangling by its lexical target -- fails the archive again, restoring the old canonicalPath behavior. The KDoc states one policy instead of two. - The installer's "refusing to extract over an existing symlink" branch is reachable again: a symlink at the entry's own target (in-base, dangling, or outside) reports as that refusal, not as zip-slip. - A "." or "./" root directory entry is tolerated as a no-op at both extraction call sites; the resolver itself stays strict. - Layer 2 has one implementation, lexicalResolve() inside the resolver, and the rejected path travels to callers via Rejected.lexicalTarget, leaving only the ancestor/leaf link walk local to ZipUtils. Tests: outside-pointing symlink entries (live and dangling) fail the archive, in-base skips still pass, root entries no-op, all three messages pinned in both callers, and a symlink loop pins Unverifiable deterministically even where the permission-based test is skipped.

The Build Universal APK check failed on spotlessKotlinCheck: the ktlint ruleset Spotless runs braces all entries of a when whose other entries are braced, and separates multi-line entries with a blank line. Apply exactly the formatting its diff demanded to the two resolution whens. No behavior change.
"/" and "\" split into all-empty segments just like "./", so namesBase answered true for them and an absolute directory entry would have been waved through as the archive's root entry (CodeRabbit review). Apply the existing lexical reject first -- it already refuses absolute paths and the empty string -- and pin the boundary with a test.

- Around line 148-164: Update the base-resolution logic around realBase and
Resolution.Contained so a NoSuchFileException does not accept an absent base
without validation: resolve and validate its nearest existing ancestor,
rejecting or returning Resolution.Unverifiable when that ancestor cannot be
safely resolved or is outside the permitted base. Preserve containment checks
for existing bases, and add a regression test covering a missing descendant
beneath a symlinked ancestor such as root/link/missing.

resolve() accepted a confirmed-absent base outright, on the reasoning that nothing on disk could be symlinked through. Its *existing* ancestors are on disk, though: with base root/link/missing where root/link points outside root, resolve() returned Contained and a later mkdirs/newOutputStream followed the link, planting the whole "contained" tree outside the base (CodeRabbit, PR #1736). When the base is absent, walk to the nearest existing ancestor of the resolved path (the same NOFOLLOW walk layer 3 already uses). Everything between that ancestor and the target is absent, so the only place a link can hide is the ancestor itself: a symlink there -- a dangling- symlink base included -- is Rejected, and an ancestor that will not toRealPath() is Unverifiable. A plain missing tree beneath real ancestors still resolves to Contained, so first-run installer directories keep working. Regression tests: symlinked ancestor of an absent base, dangling- symlink base, absent base under real ancestors, and a symlink loop above an absent base. The first two fail against the previous code.

Reviewed The fix is right, and the case it closes is real. Accepting a confirmed-absent base outright ignored that its existing ancestors are still on disk; a symlink among them redirects everything a later One asymmetry worth a decision, not a fix. The same topology now answers differently depending only on whether the base happens to exist yet. Measured, not reasoned: Both runs use the identical tree; the only difference is Whether that is wrong depends on the contract. This class answers "is Not urgent, and here is why I am not asking for a change. The branch is fail-closed, so the asymmetry costs a false rejection, never a false acceptance. And the absent-base branch is unreachable from both production call sites: So today this only affects the new tests. It would start to matter if a caller ever constructs a resolver against a not-yet-created base — which the KDoc used to cite as the motivating case, and which @itsaky-adfa correctly flagged as no longer true (that stale rationale is now gone, confirmed). Worth either documenting the asymmetry as deliberate, or making the absent-base path compare against the ancestor's real path the way the existing-base path does. Your call; I would not block on it.

91b1803 refuses a symlinked nearest-existing-ancestor when the base is absent. The existing-base path answers Contained for the same topology: with base root/link/missing it resolves root/link and the startsWith(realBase) comparison is satisfied, because the link relocates the base and the target together. Measured rather than argued -- creating the base between two otherwise identical calls flips Rejected to Contained. Comment only, no behaviour change. The asymmetry is worth keeping: the branch can only fail closed, and neither production caller reaches it, since ZipUtils.unzipFile and AssetsInstallationHelper.extractZipToDir both create destDir on the line above the resolver construction. The note says what to decide if a caller ever does resolve against a not-yet- created base -- whether an ancestor link is an escape from the base or just where the caller put it. Written down so the next reader does not re-file it as a defect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01M4sTwYg47aK8VB9kRKZicU
…ated one 91b1803 closed the absent-base hole by rejecting a symlinked nearest-existing-ancestor outright. Review measured the asymmetry that left: with base root/link/missing and root/link -> outside, the absent base answered Rejected while the identical tree after createDirectories(base) answered Contained, because the existing-base path resolves realBase *through* symlinks and compares real paths. A symlink between the base and the filesystem root is where the caller's base lives, not an escape from it, so the absent-base path now answers the same question the same way: walk to the nearest existing ancestor and resolve it with toRealPath(), sharing the existing-base branch's ancestor resolution. The segments below the ancestor are absent, layer-1-vetted plain names, so the base's real location is the ancestor's real path plus those segments and containment holds by construction once the ancestor resolves. Nothing is accepted unvalidated, and fail-closed is kept where there is no real location to judge against: a dangling link (a base that is itself one included) still throws NoSuchFileException from toRealPath() and stays Rejected, any other resolution failure stays Unverifiable (the symlink-loop test is unchanged), and CodeRabbit's original escape never resurfaces because a Contained answer always rests on a resolved real path. Tests: the symlinked-ancestor regression test now pins Contained with the resolved target, a new test pins the measured symmetry itself (same tree, absent then created, identical answers), and the dangling-base test keeps Rejected under the unified rule.

8bae363 documented the absent-base asymmetry as deliberate; the decision landed the other way in a4002dc, which removes the asymmetry by judging an absent base against its real location. The documented-as- deliberate note describes a branch that no longer exists, so the merge resolves the conflict by keeping the consistent behavior and its contract comments.
Re the asymmetry measured in the xhigh review of 91b180350: decision taken — consistency, not a documented asymmetry. The class now answers one contract uniformly: is the entry inside the base's real location, whether or not the base exists yet — a symlink between the base and the filesystem root is where the caller's base lives, not an escape from it, so the absent-base path resolves the nearest existing ancestor through symlinks exactly as the existing-base path resolves Fixed in a4002dc. Note: 8bae363 (documenting the asymmetry as deliberate) landed while this was in flight — its comment described the branch this change deletes, so the merge 9b16aa6 supersedes it in favor of the fix.

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.
