@asymmetric-effort/nogginlessdom's Path Traversal in matchFileSnapshot allows arbitrary file write

Summary

The matchFileSnapshot function in src/assertions/snapshots.ts accepted a filePath parameter with zero validation. When snapshot update mode was active (UPDATE_SNAPSHOTS=1 or setUpdateMode('all')), an attacker who controls test input could write arbitrary content to any filesystem path the process has write access to, including creating intermediate directories.

Affected Code

File: src/assertions/snapshots.ts, lines 732-769

export function matchFileSnapshot(actual: unknown, filePath: string): void { const serialized = serialize(actual); const mode = resolveUpdateMode(); const fileExists = fs.existsSync(filePath); if (!fileExists) { if (mode === 'all' || mode === 'new') { const dir = path.dirname(filePath); if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) { fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true }); } fs.writeFileSync(filePath, serialized, 'utf-8');

The filePath flows from expect(value).toMatchFileSnapshot(filePath) at index.ts:1033-1035 with no sanitization, no check that the path is within an expected directory, and no symlink resolution.

Proof of Concept

import { expect, setUpdateMode } from '@asymmetric-effort/nogginlessdom'; setUpdateMode('all'); // Writes arbitrary content to any writable path expect('malicious content').toMatchFileSnapshot('/tmp/exploit/payload.txt'); // Path traversal via relative components expect('data').toMatchFileSnapshot('../../../tmp/evil.txt'); // In CI environments, could overwrite CI config expect('injected step').toMatchFileSnapshot('/home/runner/.github/workflows/backdoor.yml');

Impact

In CI/CD environments where test files may come from untrusted pull requests, this allows writing to any writable filesystem location with directory creation. An attacker could overwrite configuration files, inject code into build artifacts, or modify CI pipeline definitions.

Fix

Fixed in commit https://github.com/asymmetric-effort/NogginLessDom/commit/785e6ac6e124d1a89b3ccf40bbd75fc8e4cb215d on main. The matchFileSnapshot function now validates that the resolved file path is within the project root directory (defaults to process.cwd(), configurable via optional projectRoot parameter). Paths that resolve outside the project directory are rejected with a descriptive error.

export function matchFileSnapshot( actual: unknown, filePath: string, projectRoot?: string, ): void { const root = projectRoot ?? process.cwd(); const resolved = path.resolve(root, filePath); if (!resolved.startsWith(root + path.sep) && resolved !== root) { throw new Error( `File snapshot path must be within the project directory: ${filePath}`, ); } // ... all subsequent file I/O uses `resolved` instead of `filePath` }
