Potential fix for https://github.com/ilesinge/shabda/security/code-scanning/1
The best way to fix this problem is to sanitize the user-provided
definitionstring before using it in path construction. In this scenario, the definition is only used for naming a temporary file; therefore, the safest method is to pass it throughwerkzeug.utils.secure_filenamebefore concatenating it into the file path. This eliminates dangerous characters and prevents directory traversal.You should import
secure_filenamefromwerkzeug.utilsat the top of the file, and then, just before constructingtmpfile, apply it:definition_secure = secure_filename(definition)Use
definition_securewhen formingtmpfile.Files/regions/lines to change:
shabda/web.py, addfrom werkzeug.utils import secure_filename.speech_zipfunction, convertdefinitionusingsecure_filenamebefore using it to buildtmpfile.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
