Description
Zip Slip Path Traversal in coder/code-marketplace
Summary
A Zip Slip (CWE-22) vulnerability in `coder/code-marketplace` ≤ v2.4.1 allowed a malicious VSIX file to write arbitrary files outside the extension directory. `ExtractZip` passed raw zip entry names to a callback that wrote files via `filepath.Join` with no boundary check; `filepath.Join` resolved `..` components but did not prevent the result from escaping the base path.
Root Cause
`ExtractZip` passed the raw, attacker-controlled `zf.Name` to a caller-supplied callback:
```go
return false, fn(zf.Name, zr) // zf.Name not sanitized
```
`AddExtension` constructed the output path with `filepath.Join` and no boundary check:
```go
path := filepath.Join(dir, name) // zip loop
path := filepath.Join(dir, file.RelativePath) // extra files loop
```
`filepath.Clean` resolved `..` lexically but did not confine the result to `dir`:
```
filepath.Join("/srv/ext/pub/1.0", "../../../../etc/cron.d/evil")
→ "/etc/cron.d/evil"
```
Attack Scenario
An authenticated user (any upload-capable role) would submit a VSIX containing path-traversal entries.
On extraction, files would land at attacker-chosen paths writable by the marketplace process, enabling persistence (cron/init injection), SSH key injection, `ld.so.preload` hijacking, or binary overwrite depending on process privileges.
Fix
Addressed in https://github.com/coder/code-marketplace/releases/tag/v2.4.2
