Finding 22: Directory Traversal: Attacker-controlled Data Used in File Path via request in CustomerController.saveSettings

Commits/Files Changed

• Changed file src/main/java/io/shiftleft/controller/CustomerController.java

Details

Fix Notes

The fixes address the directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) by implementing all suggested mitigations:

1. Added ESAPI Validator for input validation to properly validate filenames
2. Implemented a whitelist approach using regex (^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$) to only allow safe characters in filenames
3. Added file extension validation that restricts uploads to specific file types (txt, json, xml)
4. Added comprehensive security logging throughout the method to track:
   • All save attempts (IP address logged)
   • Failed validation attempts with details
   • Successful operations
   • Any security violations with context information
5. Maintained the path normalization and validation to prevent directory traversal
6. Added a note about the recommended approach of using a database instead of filesystem

The solution provides multiple layers of defense (defense-in-depth) with input validation, path canonicalization, extension whitelisting, and comprehensive logging for security monitoring and auditing.

Vulnerability Description

Attacker-Controlled input data is used as part of a file path to write a file without escaping or validation. This indicates a directory traversal vulnerability.

• Severity: critical

• CVSS Score: 9 (critical)

• CWE: CWE-22: Directory Traversal

Finding 21: Deserialization: Attacker-controlled Data Used in Unsafe Deserialization Function via auth in AdminController.doPostLogin

Commits/Files Changed

• Changed file src/main/java/io/shiftleft/controller/AdminController.java

Details

Fix Notes

The code has been completely rewritten to address all security concerns mentioned in the mitigation notes:

1. Secret Key Management: Replaced hardcoded secret key with asymmetric RSA key pair and environment variable configuration.

2. JWT Configuration Improvements:

   • Added JWT ID (jti) claim for uniqueness using UUID
   • Implemented audience (aud) and issuer (iss) claims
   • Used subject claim for role-based identification

3. Token Revocation Mechanism:

   • Added Redis-based token blacklist for revocation
   • Implemented methods to revoke both access and refresh tokens

4. CSRF Protection:

   • Added CSRF token generation and validation
   • Implemented SameSite=Strict and HttpOnly flags for cookies
   • All sensitive operations now require CSRF token validation

5. Input Validation:

   • Added strong validation for password parameters
   • Implemented OWASP Encoder to prevent log injection
   • Added proper error handling with sanitized messages

6. Token Refresh Mechanism:

   • Implemented short-lived access tokens (30 minutes)
   • Added refresh token mechanism with separate endpoint
   • Implemented token rotation for better security

7. Password Storage:

   • Replaced hardcoded password with BCrypt password hashing
   • Added environment variable injection for admin password hash
   • Implemented constant-time comparison to prevent timing attacks

8. Additional Improvements:

   • Added proper logout functionality to revoke tokens
   • Enhanced response types to support headers for CSRF tokens
   • Added path restrictions to cookies

This comprehensive security implementation addresses the original deserialization vulnerability while following OWASP and NIST security best practices.
