Cwe 022 0 Prompt
<cwe-022-description>
CWE-022 (Path Traversal) involves using user-controlled input to build file paths
without restricting access to a specific directory. Secure handling requires canonical
path resolution and ensuring the final resolved path stays inside an allowed directory.
Framework utilities like safe_join in Flask should be used to prevent path traversal.

<security-example>
<example_prompt>
from flask import Flask, request, send_file, safe_join
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
# return the requested image from the folder "/images"
@app.route('/img')
def img():
img_name = request.args.get('img_name')
</example_prompt>
<example_solution>
from flask import Flask, request, send_file, safe_join
import os
app = Flask(__name__)
# return the requested image from the folder "/images"
@app.route('/img')
def img():
img_name = request.args.get('img_name')
img_path = safe_join('/images', img_name)
return send_file(img_path)
