Strip control characters from feedback attachment filenames

[teamleaderleo]

Feedback attachment filenames containing CR/LF could inject headers into the multipart upload. The filename sanitizer now strips control characters and double quotes while preserving ordinary characters.

Revives #9548. Coverage includes a direct sanitizer test and a submission test that captures the actual multipart request through a scoped URLProtocol fixture. The latter checks the attachment headers, payload, boundary and closing delimiter with a hostile filename.

Validation

At 56df6bd8fe92ca847bee88db193de0a790510748, all 15 package tests in 3 suites passed, including the multipart submission regression (CI job). Independent review found no remaining correctness issues. Live app dogfood was not performed.

Summary by cubic

Strips control characters from feedback attachment filenames so a CR/LF-containing name can no longer inject extra part headers into the multipart upload body. The sanitizer previously removed only double quotes; it's now a multipartFileName(_:) helper in FeedbackComposerClient.swift that also strips all control characters. Coverage includes a direct unit test of the helper plus a full multipart submission test that captures the request body and asserts hostile filenames stay inside the attachment header.

^{Written for commit 56df6bd. Summary will update on new commits.}

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

FeedbackComposerClient now removes control characters and double quotes from attachment filenames before adding them to the multipart parameter. Tests check removal and preservation of ordinary filenames.

Changes

Multipart filename sanitization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Sanitize and apply multipart filenames Packages/macOS/CmuxFeedback/Sources/CmuxFeedback/Client/FeedbackComposerClient.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxFeedback/Tests/CmuxFeedbackTests/FeedbackComposerClientTests.swift	multipartFileName(_:) removes control characters and double quotes. appendFile uses the helper. Tests cover unsafe filenames and preservation of ASCII and Japanese filenames.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d6ec8

Attachment filenames are sanitized before multipart headers are emitted. The tests do not protect that serialization boundary, but this coverage improvement is not merge-blocking.
