Übersicht
FileProvider, eine Unterklasse von ContentProvider, soll eine sichere Methode für eine Anwendung („Serveranwendung“) zum Freigeben von Dateien für eine andere Anwendung („Clientanwendung“) bieten. Wenn die Clientanwendung den vom Server bereitgestellten Dateinamen jedoch nicht richtig verarbeitet, kann eine vom Angreifer kontrollierte Serveranwendung einen eigenen schädlichen FileProvider implementieren, um Dateien im anwendungsspezifischen Speicher der Clientanwendung zu überschreiben.
Positiv beeinflussen
Wenn ein Angreifer die Dateien einer Anwendung überschreiben kann, kann dies zur Ausführung von Schadcode führen (durch Überschreiben des Anwendungscodes) oder das Verhalten der Anwendung auf andere Weise ändern (z. B. durch Überschreiben der gemeinsamen Einstellungen oder anderer Konfigurationsdateien der Anwendung).
Maßnahmen zur Risikominderung
Wenn Sie Dateisystemaufrufe verwenden, sollten Sie möglichst ohne Nutzereingabe arbeiten. Generieren Sie dazu einen eindeutigen Dateinamen, wenn Sie die empfangene Datei in den Speicher schreiben.
Mit anderen Worten: Wenn die Clientanwendung die empfangene Datei in den Speicher schreibt, sollte sie den von der Serveranwendung bereitgestellten Dateinamen ignorieren und stattdessen die eigene, intern generierte eindeutige Kennung als Dateinamen verwenden.
Dieses Beispiel basiert auf dem Code unter https://developer.android.com/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file:
Kotlin
// Code in
// https://developer.android.com/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file#OpenFile
// used to obtain file descriptor (fd)
try {
val inputStream = FileInputStream(fd)
val tempFile = File.createTempFile("temp", null, cacheDir)
val outputStream = FileOutputStream(tempFile)
val buf = ByteArray(1024)
var len: Int
len = inputStream.read(buf)
while (len > 0) {
if (len != -1) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, len)
len = inputStream.read(buf)
}
}
inputStream.close()
outputStream.close()
} catch (e: IOException) {
e.printStackTrace()
Log.e("MainActivity", "File copy error.")
return
}
Java
// Code in
// https://developer.android.com/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file#OpenFile
// used to obtain file descriptor (fd)
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fd);
// Create a temporary file
File tempFile = File.createTempFile("temp", null, getCacheDir());
// Copy the contents of the file to the temporary file
try {
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(tempFile))
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("MainActivity", "File copy error.");
return;
}
Bereitgestellte Dateinamen bereinigen
Bereinigen Sie den angegebenen Dateinamen, wenn Sie die empfangene Datei in den Speicher schreiben.
Diese Maßnahme ist weniger wünschenswert als die vorherige, da es schwierig sein kann, alle potenziellen Fälle zu berücksichtigen. Dennoch: Wenn das Generieren eines eindeutigen Dateinamens nicht praktikabel ist, sollte die Clientanwendung den angegebenen Dateinamen bereinigen. Die Bereinigung umfasst:
- Bereinigen von Pfaddurchlaufzeichen im Dateinamen
- Kanonisierung durchführen, um zu bestätigen, dass keine Pfadüberschreitungen vorliegen
Dieser Beispielcode basiert auf der Anleitung zum Abrufen von Dateiinformationen:
Kotlin
protected fun sanitizeFilename(displayName: String): String {
val badCharacters = arrayOf("..", "/")
val segments = displayName.split("/")
var fileName = segments[segments.size - 1]
for (suspString in badCharacters) {
fileName = fileName.replace(suspString, "_")
}
return fileName
}
val displayName = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex)
val fileName = sanitizeFilename(displayName)
val filePath = File(context.filesDir, fileName).path
// saferOpenFile defined in Android developer documentation
val outputFile = saferOpenFile(filePath, context.filesDir.canonicalPath)
// fd obtained using Requesting a shared file from Android developer
// documentation
val inputStream = FileInputStream(fd)
// Copy the contents of the file to the new file
try {
val outputStream = FileOutputStream(outputFile)
val buffer = ByteArray(1024)
var length: Int
while (inputStream.read(buffer).also { length = it } > 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length)
}
} catch (e: IOException) {
// Handle exception
}
Java
protected String sanitizeFilename(String displayName) {
String[] badCharacters = new String[] { "..", "/" };
String[] segments = displayName.split("/");
String fileName = segments[segments.length - 1];
for (String suspString : badCharacters) {
fileName = fileName.replace(suspString, "_");
}
return fileName;
}
String displayName = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex);
String fileName = sanitizeFilename(displayName);
String filePath = new File(context.getFilesDir(), fileName).getPath();
// saferOpenFile defined in Android developer documentation
File outputFile = saferOpenFile(filePath,
context.getFilesDir().getCanonicalPath());
// fd obtained using Requesting a shared file from Android developer
// documentation
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fd);
// Copy the contents of the file to the new file
try {
OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile))
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// Handle exception

However, if the\nclient application does not properly handle the filename provided by the server\napplication, an attacker-controlled server application may be able to implement\nits own malicious *FileProvider* to overwrite files in the client application's\napp-specific storage.\n\nImpact\n------\n\nIf an attacker can overwrite an application's files, this can lead to malicious\ncode execution (by overwriting the application's code), or allow otherwise\nmodifying the application's behavior (for example, by overwriting the\napplication's shared preferences or other configuration files).\n\nMitigations\n-----------\n\n### Don't Trust User Input\n\nPrefer working without user input when using file system calls by generating a\nunique filename when writing the received file to storage.\n\nIn other words: When the client application writes the received file to storage,\nit should ignore the filename provided by the server application and instead use\nits own internally generated unique identifier as the filename.\n\nThis example builds upon the code found at\n[https://developer.android.com/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file](/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file#java): \n\n### Kotlin\n\n // Code in\n // https://developer.android.com/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file#OpenFile\n // used to obtain file descriptor (fd)\n\n try {\n val inputStream = FileInputStream(fd)\n val tempFile = File.createTempFile(\"temp\", null, cacheDir)\n val outputStream = FileOutputStream(tempFile)\n val buf = ByteArray(1024)\n var len: Int\n len = inputStream.read(buf)\n while (len \u003e 0) {\n if (len != -1) {\n outputStream.write(buf, 0, len)\n len = inputStream.read(buf)\n }\n }\n inputStream.close()\n outputStream.close()\n } catch (e: IOException) {\n e.printStackTrace()\n Log.e(\"MainActivity\", \"File copy error.\")\n return\n }\n\n### Java\n\n // Code in\n // https://developer.android.com/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file#OpenFile\n // used to obtain file descriptor (fd)\n\n FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fd);\n\n // Create a temporary file\n File tempFile = File.createTempFile(\"temp\", null, getCacheDir());\n\n // Copy the contents of the file to the temporary file\n try {\n OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(tempFile))\n byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];\n int length;\n while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) \u003e 0) {\n outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);\n }\n } catch (IOException e) {\n e.printStackTrace();\n Log.e(\"MainActivity\", \"File copy error.\");\n return;\n }\n\n### Sanitize Provided Filenames\n\nSanitize the provided filename when writing the received file to storage.\n\nThis mitigation is less desirable than the preceding mitigation because it can\nbe challenging to handle all potential cases. Nonetheless: If generating a\nunique filename is not practical, the client application should sanitize the\nprovided filename. Sanitization includes:\n\n- Sanitizing path traversal characters in the filename\n- Performing a canonicalization to confirm there are no path traversals\n\nThis example code builds upon the guidance on [retrieving file information](/training/secure-file-sharing/retrieve-info): \n\n### Kotlin\n\n protected fun sanitizeFilename(displayName: String): String {\n val badCharacters = arrayOf(\"..\", \"/\")\n val segments = displayName.split(\"/\")\n var fileName = segments[segments.size - 1]\n for (suspString in badCharacters) {\n fileName = fileName.replace(suspString, \"_\")\n }\n return fileName\n }\n\n val displayName = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex)\n val fileName = sanitizeFilename(displayName)\n val filePath = File(context.filesDir, fileName).path\n\n // saferOpenFile defined in Android developer documentation\n val outputFile = saferOpenFile(filePath, context.filesDir.canonicalPath)\n\n // fd obtained using Requesting a shared file from Android developer\n // documentation\n\n val inputStream = FileInputStream(fd)\n\n // Copy the contents of the file to the new file\n try {\n val outputStream = FileOutputStream(outputFile)\n val buffer = ByteArray(1024)\n var length: Int\n while (inputStream.read(buffer).also { length = it } \u003e 0) {\n outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length)\n }\n } catch (e: IOException) {\n // Handle exception\n }\n\n### Java\n\n protected String sanitizeFilename(String displayName) {\n String[] badCharacters = new String[] { \"..\", \"/\" };\n String[] segments = displayName.split(\"/\");\n String fileName = segments[segments.length - 1];\n for (String suspString : badCharacters) {\n fileName = fileName.replace(suspString, \"_\");\n }\n return fileName;\n }\n\n String displayName = returnCursor.getString(nameIndex);\n String fileName = sanitizeFilename(displayName);\n String filePath = new File(context.getFilesDir(), fileName).getPath();\n\n // saferOpenFile defined in Android developer documentation\n\n File outputFile = saferOpenFile(filePath,\n context.getFilesDir().getCanonicalPath());\n\n // fd obtained using Requesting a shared file from Android developer\n // documentation\n\n FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fd);\n\n // Copy the contents of the file to the new file\n try {\n OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile))\n byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];\n int length;\n while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) \u003e 0) {\n outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);\n }\n } catch (IOException e) {\n // Handle exception\n }\n\nContributors: Dimitrios Valsamaras and Michael Peck of Microsoft Threat\nIntelligence\n\nResources\n---------\n\n- [Dirty Stream Attack: Turning Android Share Targets Into Attack Vectors](https://i.blackhat.com/Asia-23/AS-23-Valsamaras-Dirty-Stream-Attack-Turning-Android.pdf)\n- [Secure File Sharing](/training/secure-file-sharing)\n- [Request a Shared File documentation](/training/secure-file-sharing/request-file)\n- [Retrieve Info](/training/secure-file-sharing/retrieve-info)\n- [FileProvider](/reference/androidx/core/content/FileProvider)\n- [Path Traversal](/topic/security/risks/path-traversal)\n- [CWE-73 External Control of Filename or Path](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/73)"]]
