🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
💡 Vulnerability: 악의적인 파일 및 디렉토리 이름을 통한 Bidirectional (BiDi) 텍스트 조작 공격. RTL(Right-to-Left) 제어 문자를 사용하여 텍스트의 읽기 방향을 반전시키고, 이를 통해 파일 확장자를 속이거나 시각적 혼란을 야기할 수 있습니다.
🎯 Impact: 사용자가 악의적인 파일(예: exe.txttxt.exe로 표시됨)을 실행하거나 접근하게 만들 수 있는 사회공학적 공격(Spoofing)으로 이어질 수 있습니다.
🔧 Fix: HTML 생성 시 사용자 입력값(디렉토리 이름, 파일 이름)을 HTML 속성(예: title)에 주입할 때 First Strong Isolate (FSI, &#x2068;)와 Pop Directional Isolate (PDI, &#x2069;) 문자로 감싸고, 엘리먼트 내부(예: <h1>, <span>)에는 dir="auto" 속성을 부여하여 텍스트의 방향성을 엄격하게 고립(Isolation)시켰습니다.
✅ Verification: MainTest.kt의 테스트 코드를 업데이트하고 jacocoTestReport를 통해 100% 테스트 커버리지를 유지하며 정상적으로 동작하는지 확인했습니다.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

생성되는 HTML이 사용자 제어 파일 및 디렉터리 이름을 BiDi 격리 문자로 감쌉니다. 제목과 파일 이름 요소에는 dir="auto"를 추가합니다. 관련 테스트와 보안 메모를 갱신합니다.

페이지 제목, 파일 이름, 링크 aria-label에 BiDi 격리 문자를 적용합니다. 제목과 파일 이름 spandir="auto"를 추가합니다. 테스트는 변경된 HTML 속성과 격리 문자를 검증합니다. 보안 메모는 해당 완화 방법을 기록합니다.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2a84b

Embedded BiDi controls can still visually spoof generated filenames despite the new isolation markers, so the security fix and an attack-input regression test should be completed before merge. The link accessibility attribute should also be added; duplicate escaping is a smaller follow-up concern.

fileName.escapeHtml() 결과를 한 번만 계산하십시오.

현재 같은 파일명을 두 번 순회합니다. 이스케이프가 필요한 이름에서는 StringBuilder 할당도 두 번 발생합니다. escapedFileName을 한 번 계산한 뒤 ariaLabel과 표시용 <span>에서 재사용하십시오.

+ val escapedFileName = fileName.escapeHtml()
- val ariaLabel = "&`#x2068`;${fileName.escapeHtml()}&`#x2069`; ${typeLabel}"
+ val ariaLabel = "&`#x2068`;${escapedFileName}&`#x2069`; ${typeLabel}"
...
- <span dir="auto">${fileName.escapeHtml()}</span>
+ <span dir="auto">${escapedFileName}</span>

As per coding guidelines: “Avoid intermediate string allocations in hot paths; preserve single-pass escaping with lazy StringBuilder usage.” 이 지침을 적용했습니다.

BiDi 제어 문자를 제거하거나 표시 가능한 값으로 변환하십시오.

Verified successor consolidation: #66523043a1 has byte-identical production blob src/main/kotlin/html4tree/main.kt (7fb05c86831d6e7910500b53c6e6c2db56662297) and test blob src/test/kotlin/html4tree/MainTest.kt (af30010760db8d3de350c27affd33b3c32df8319). Thus the valid dir="auto" + FSI/PDI behavior and its regression expectations are fully inherited. The extra Sentinel claim here that this generally prevents malicious filename/extension spoofing is not inherited because it overstates the mechanism: directional isolation contains effects on surrounding context but does not remove attacker-controlled RLO/LRO or otherwise guarantee that the filename itself cannot be visually spoofed. #665 is Draft and now records the narrower W3C-backed i18n/UX contract plus current-head browser/AX acceptance. Checks/reviews from #664 are not transferred to #665.
