聊聊directory traversal attack

序

本文主要研究一下directory traversal attack及其防范

directory traversal attack

又称Path Traversal attack，即目录遍历攻击，旨在访问web服务器根目录外的文件/目录。通过是通过url或变量里头传递"../"来进行目录遍历。

通过url

比如

http://some_site.com.br/../../../../some dir/some file 

或者

http://some_site.com.br/../../../../etc/shadow 

通过变量名

通常是在文件下载接口中，比如

http://some_site.com.br/get-files?file=/etc/passwd 

或者

http://some_site.com.br/get-files?file=../../../../some dir/some file 

防范

针对url

spring security提供了DefaultHttpFirewall来进行处理，是为了防止一些web框架没有遵循servlet规范而进行的防范。
spring-security-web-4.2.3.RELEASE-sources.jar!/org/springframework/security/web/firewall/DefaultHttpFirewall.java

/**
 * Default implementation which wraps requests in order to provide consistent
 * values of the {@code servletPath} and {@code pathInfo}, which do not contain
 * path parameters (as defined in
 * RFC 2396). Different
 * servlet containers interpret the servlet spec differently as to how path
 * parameters are treated and it is possible they might be added in order to
 * bypass particular security constraints. When using this implementation, they
 * will be removed for all requests as the request passes through the security
 * filter chain. Note that this means that any segments in the decoded path
 * which contain a semi-colon, will have the part following the semi-colon
 * removed for request matching. Your application should not contain any valid
 * paths which contain semi-colons.
 * 

 * If any un-normalized paths are found (containing directory-traversal
 * character sequences), the request will be rejected immediately. Most
 * containers normalize the paths before performing the servlet-mapping, but
 * again this is not guaranteed by the servlet spec.

这里会对url进行判断

通过变量

这种框架没有内置进行判断，需要自己在开发应用服务的时候额外关注。这里谈谈几种防范方法。

• 对变量名进行过滤

final Pattern INVALID_PATH_PATTERN = Pattern.compile("(\\.\\.\\/|\\.\\.\\\\)");
if(INVALID_PATH_PATTERN.matcher(path).find()){
    throw new BadRequestException("invalid path");
}

• 利用absolutePath与canonicalPath

absolutePath不会处理../之类的，而canonicalPath会翻译../，判断两者是否相等即可判断是否有../

        if (!file.getAbsolutePath().equals(file.getCanonicalPath())) {
            throw new BadRequestException("invalid path");
        }

小结

在编写文件下载服务的时候，需要特别关注directory traversal attack。通常url层面的web框架会帮你防范，但是变量层面的，则需要自己开发额外注意。
