Metadata

ID: javascript-node-security/detect-non-literal-fs-filename

Language: JavaScript

Severity: Warning

Category: Security

Description

An attacker could manipulate the file system call argument, leading to a path traversal attack. In this case, the attacker can get access to files and directories within your server file system.

Non-Compliant Code Examples

/// requires
var something = require('fs');
var a = something.open(c);

var one = require('fs').readFile;
one(filename);
         
var one = require('node:fs').readFile;
one(filename);

var one = require('fs/promises').readFile;
one(filename);

var something = require('fs/promises');
something.readFile(filename);

var something = require('node:fs/promises');
something.readFile(filename);

var something = require('fs-extra');
something.readFile(filename);

var { readFile: something } = require('fs');
something(filename)

//// imports
import { readFile as something } from 'fs';
something(filename);

import { readFile as something } from 'node:fs';
something(filename);

import { readFile as something } from 'fs-extra';
something(filename);

import { readFile as something } from 'fs/promises'
something(filename)

import { readFile as something } from 'node:fs/promises'
something(filename)

import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
something(readFile)

import * as something from 'fs';
something.readFile(filename);
import * as something from 'node:fs';
something.readFile(filename);

/// promises
var something = require('fs').promises;
something.readFile(filename)

var something = require('node:fs').promises;
something.readFile(filename)

var something = require('fs');
something.promises.readFile(filename)

var something = require('node:fs');
something.promises.readFile(filename)

var fs = require('fs');
fs.readFile(`template with ${filename}`);

// inline
function foo () {
  var fs = require('fs');
  fs.readFile(filename);
}

function foo () {
  var { readFile: something } = require('fs');
  something(filename);
}

var fs = require('fs');
function foo () {
  var { readFile: something } = fs.promises;
  something(filename);
}

import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
const key = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, foo));

Compliant Code Examples

var fs = require('fs');
var a = fs.open('test')
         
var something = require('some');
var a = something.readFile(c);

var something = require('fs').readFile, readFile = require('foo').readFile;
readFile(c);

// const key = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, './ssl.key'));
