# Changelog #
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](http://keepachangelog.com/)
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).

## [Unreleased] ##

### Changed ###
- By allowing `Open(at)InRoot` to opt-out of the extra work done by `MkdirAll`
to do the necessary "partial lookups", `Open(at)InRoot` now does less work
for both implementations (resulting in a many-fold decrease in the number of
operations for `openat2`, and a modest improvement for non-`openat2`) and is
far more guaranteed to match the correct `openat2(RESOLVE_IN_ROOT)`
behaviour.

### Fixed ###
- Several improvements were made to the errors returned by `Open(at)InRoot` and
`MkdirAll` when dealing with invalid paths under the emulated (ie.
non-`openat2`) implementation. Previously, some paths would return the wrong
error (`ENOENT` when the last component was a non-directory), and other paths
would be returned as though they were acceptable (trailing-slash components
after a non-directory would be ignored by `Open(at)InRoot`).

These changes were done to match `openat2`'s behaviour and purely is a
consistency fix (most users are going to be using `openat2` anyway).

## [0.3.0] - 2024-07-11 ##

### Added ###
- A new set of `*os.File`-based APIs have been added. These are adapted from
[libpathrs][] and we strongly suggest using them if possible (as they provide
far more protection against attacks than `SecureJoin`):

- `Open(at)InRoot` resolves a path inside a rootfs and returns an `*os.File`
handle to the path. Note that the handle returned is an `O_PATH` handle,
which cannot be used for reading or writing (as well as some other
operations -- [see open(2) for more details][open.2])

- `Reopen` takes an `O_PATH` file handle and safely re-opens it to upgrade
it to a regular handle. This can also be used with non-`O_PATH` handles,
but `O_PATH` is the most obvious application.

- `MkdirAll` is an implementation of `os.MkdirAll` that is safe to use to
create a directory tree within a rootfs.

As these are new APIs, they may change in the future. However, they should be
safe to start migrating to as we have extensive tests ensuring they behave
correctly and are safe against various races and other attacks.

## [0.2.5] - 2024-05-03 ##

### Changed ###
- Some minor changes were made to how lexical components (like `..` and `.`)
are handled during path generation in `SecureJoin`. There is no behaviour
change as a result of this fix (the resulting paths are the same).

### Fixed ###
- The error returned when we hit a symlink loop now references the correct
path. (#10)

## [0.2.4] - 2023-09-06 ##

### Security ###
- This release fixes a potential security issue in filepath-securejoin when
used on Windows ([GHSA-6xv5-86q9-7xr8][], which could be used to generate
paths outside of the provided rootfs in certain cases), as well as improving
the overall behaviour of filepath-securejoin when dealing with Windows paths
that contain volume names. Thanks to Paulo Gomes for discovering and fixing
these issues.

### Fixed ###
- Switch to GitHub Actions for CI so we can test on Windows as well as Linux
and MacOS.

## [0.2.3] - 2021-06-04 ##

### Changed ###
- Switch to Go 1.13-style `%w` error wrapping, letting us drop the dependency
on `github.com/pkg/errors`.

## [0.2.2] - 2018-09-05 ##

### Changed ###
- Use `syscall.ELOOP` as the base error for symlink loops, rather than our own
(internal) error. This allows callers to more easily use `errors.Is` to check
for this case.

## [0.2.1] - 2018-09-05 ##

### Fixed ###
- Use our own `IsNotExist` implementation, which lets us handle `ENOTDIR`
properly within `SecureJoin`.

## [0.2.0] - 2017-07-19 ##

We now have 100% test coverage!

### Added ###
- Add a `SecureJoinVFS` API that can be used for mocking (as we do in our new
tests) or for implementing custom handling of lookup operations (such as for
rootless containers, where work is necessary to access directories with weird
modes because we don't have `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH` or `CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE`).

## 0.1.0 - 2017-07-19

This is our first release of `github.com/cyphar/filepath-securejoin`,
containing a full implementation with a coverage of 93.5% (the only missing
cases are the error cases, which are hard to mocktest at the moment).
