  1. Validate that chatflowId is a valid UUID's
  2. Validate that chatId is present
  3. Ensure that the filename does not contain path traversal patterns
  4. Ensure that the sanitized filename does not contain path traversal patterns

Addresses CodeQL findings 45-50

Summary of Changes

Hello @christopherholland-workday, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the security of file utility functions by introducing comprehensive input validation. It focuses on preventing path traversal attacks by ensuring that identifiers like chatId and chatflowId conform to UUID standards and that all filenames, both before and after sanitization, are free from unsafe path characters. These changes directly mitigate identified security vulnerabilities.

Highlights

  • Input Validation for File Utilities: Implemented robust validation for chatId and chatflowId to ensure they are valid UUIDs, preventing malformed identifiers from being processed.
  • Path Traversal Prevention: Introduced checks to prevent path traversal vulnerabilities by validating filename and sanitizedFilename for unsafe characters and patterns.
  • Security Enhancements: Integrated the isUnsafeFilePath utility to provide comprehensive security checks against malicious file paths, directly addressing CodeQL findings.
Changelog
  • packages/components/src/storageUtils.ts
    • Imported isUnsafeFilePath for enhanced path validation.
    • Added validation to ensure chatId is present before processing.
    • Implemented isUnsafeFilePath check for the fileName parameter.
    • Added a post-sanitization check to ensure sanitizedFilename does not contain path separators.
  • packages/server/src/controllers/get-upload-file/index.ts
    • Imported isUnsafeFilePath and isValidUUID for use in the controller.
    • Added early return validation for chatflowId to ensure it is a valid UUID.
    • Added early return validation to confirm chatId is provided.
    • Integrated isUnsafeFilePath check for the fileName parameter to prevent path traversal.

Code Review

This pull request enhances security by adding validation for file paths used in file utilities. The changes correctly validate chatflowId and fileName to prevent path traversal attacks. However, the validation for chatId is incomplete; it is checked for existence but not for the UUID format as stated in the pull request description. I've added comments to point out where this validation should be added for comprehensive security.
