CVE-2020-15250

Vulnerability

The JUnit4 test rule TemporaryFolder contains a local information disclosure vulnerability.

Example of vulnerable code:

public static class HasTempFolder {
    @​Rule
    public TemporaryFolder folder = new TemporaryFolder();

    @​Test
    public void testUsingTempFolder() throws IOException {
        folder.getRoot(); // Previous file permissions: `drwxr-xr-x`; After fix:`drwx------`
        File createdFile= folder.newFile("myfile.txt"); // unchanged/irrelevant file permissions
        File createdFolder= folder.newFolder("subfolder"); // unchanged/irrelevant file permissions
        // ...
    }
}

Impact

On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. Because of this, when files and directories are written into this directory they are, by default, readable by other users on that same system.

This vulnerability does not allow other users to overwrite the contents of these directories or files. This is purely an information disclosure vulnerability.

When analyzing the impact of this vulnerability, here are the important questions to ask:

1. Do the JUnit tests write sensitive information, like API keys or passwords, into the temporary folder?
   • If yes, this vulnerability impacts you, but only if you also answer 'yes' to question 2.
   • If no, this vulnerability does not impact you.
2. Do the JUnit tests ever execute in an environment where the OS has other untrusted users.
   This may apply in CI/CD environments but normally won't be 'yes' for personal developer machines.
   • If yes, and you answered 'yes' to question 1, this vulnerability impacts you.
   • If no, this vulnerability does not impact you.

Patches

Because certain JDK file system APIs were only added in JDK 1.7, this this fix is dependent upon the version of the JDK you are using.

• Java 1.7 and higher users: this vulnerability is fixed in 4.13.1.
• Java 1.6 and lower users: no patch is available, you must use the workaround below.

Workarounds

If you are unable to patch, or are stuck running on Java 1.6, specifying the java.io.tmpdir system environment variable to a directory that is exclusively owned by the executing user will fix this vulnerability.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
