CVE-2026-50568: Fission: SanitizeFilePath lexical HasPrefix bypass permits sibling-directory escape
SanitizeFilePath in pkg/utils/utils.go validated that a path stayed under a safe directory by calling strings.HasPrefix(path, safedir). This is a lexical check, not a directory boundary check: /packages-extra/evil starts with
/packages, so it passed. The function did not enforce a path-separator boundary, so any sibling directory whose name began with the safe-directory string was accepted.
Callers included the builder’s Clean handler (pkg/builder/builder.go:208) and the fetcher’s Fetch / Upload handlers (pkg/fetcher/fetcher.go). A tenant who could pre-create or control a sibling directory under the fetcher /
builder’s shared volume could induce a write or read outside the intended safe directory.
