To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the file paths constructed from zip archive entries are validated to prevent writing files to unexpected locations. The steps to fix this are:
Path.Combine(destinationDirectory, entry.FullName)
to determine the raw output path.Path.GetFullPath(..)
on the raw output path to resolve any directory traversal elements.Path.GetFullPath(destinationDirectory + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar)
to determine the fully resolved path of the destination directory.StartsWith
the resolved destination directory, aborting if this is not true.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
