Jira: https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4591

Stacked on #1017 (DSPX-4591-zip64-conformance). Retarget to main after it merges.

Related DSPX-4591 PRs: #1086 (writer data descriptor), #1087 (bounds-checked readUInt16LE/readUInt32LE and fromUrl ranges). Both are independent and based on main. The manifest cap removal that used to be this PR's second commit is now #1088 (DSPX-4651), stacked on this one.

Related: opentdf/platform#4202 (Go: DSPX-5102, Java: DSPX-5103). This is the web-sdk counterpart for findings 5 and 6.

What / why

Finding 5: untyped error on ZIP64 overflow. readUInt64LE threw a plain Error, and nothing between getCentralDirectory and loadTDFStream wrapped it. It now throws InvalidFileError.

Finding 6: no file-bounds checks. An out-of-range offset that was still a safe integer led to an empty .slice on buffer and Blob sources. readUInt16LE then read undefined as 0 (that part is fixed in #1087), and the read ended in a generic SyntaxError from JSON.parse(''). With fromUrl, the hostile value went straight into an HTTP Range header. Changes:

  • Every range read by ZipReader now goes through one checked readRange helper. It rejects ranges that are non-integer, negative or inverted. It rejects ranges that end past the start of the central directory, before anything is sliced or fetched. It also rejects short reads (and over-long ones, e.g. a server that ignores Range).
    • Chunker does not expose the source length, so the central directory offset serves as the upper bound. APPNOTE 4.3.6 puts local headers and file data before the central directory, so the bound works for buffer, Blob, chunker and remote sources alike, and no extra round trip is needed to learn the length.
  • adjustHeaders checks the local file header signature (0x04034b50). After the local header length is recomputed, it checks that offset + headerLength + compressedSize ends before the central directory.
  • getPayloadSegment checks that the segment offset and size (which come from the manifest, so they are untrusted) are non-negative safe integers within the payload entry's compressedSize.
  • A manifest JSON parse failure is now wrapped in InvalidFileError.

payload.isEncrypted behaviour is unchanged: the reader still ignores it. This PR adds a test pinning that the writer always emits isEncrypted: true.

Adjusted test from main: manifest-entry-name.spec.ts (platform#3513). Its "oversized spec-named entry shadowing a valid non-aligned one" fixture aliases a 128 MiB manifest.json record onto a small entry. That entry used to fail later on the 10 MB manifest cap. It now fails earlier, in getCentralDirectory, because the entry runs past the start of the central directory. The test still checks the property it was written for: decrypt and getPolicyId fail with an InvalidFileError that names manifest.json, and never fall back to 0.manifest.json. The "fixture is readable" case now checks the non-aligned manifest in the archive without the shadow entry, and a new case checks that the shadowed archive's central directory is rejected.

Tests

New unit tests in lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts:

  • readUInt64LE(0xffffffffffffffff) throws InvalidFileError.
  • A zip64 extra-field local header offset of 0xffffffffffffffff gives InvalidFileError. So does a zip64 EOCD entry count of that value.
  • A local header offset past EOF (32-bit field and safe zip64 value, buffer source) gives InvalidFileError.
  • A local header offset that does not point at a local header gives InvalidFileError.
  • compressedSize past EOF gives InvalidFileError. A manifest size that runs into the central directory also gives InvalidFileError.
  • A non-JSON manifest gives InvalidFileError.
  • Payload segments outside the entry (too long, negative, fractional, 2^53) give InvalidFileError.
  • Short reads on the manifest, payload, tail and local header are detected.
  • Existing valid-archive tests still pass (zip64, non-zip64, comments, etc.).

New test in lib/tests/mocha/root-signature.spec.ts: the writer emits payload.isEncrypted: true.

Checks run

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • ZIP archive reads now reject invalid, unsafe, or incomplete byte ranges, including malformed entry data and short reads.
    • Corrupt archive structures and unreadable manifest JSON are reported as invalid files.
    • Oversized or out-of-bounds entries are rejected during archive loading and when retrieving policy information.
    • When multiple manifest entries are present, errors in the selected spec-named entry are reported instead of falling back to another manifest.
    • Remote file reads now validate ranges against known file lengths and reject requests beyond the file boundary.

📝 Walkthrough

Remote reads now retain file-length metadata and reject ranges outside the known length. ZipReader validates archive reads, entry boundaries, manifest JSON, and payload segments. Tests cover malformed ZIP data, short reads, remote ranges, and encrypted manifest flags.

Changes: Archive and remote-read validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remote file-length tracking
lib/src/seekable.ts, lib/tests/mocha/unit/seekable.spec.ts
Remote reads retain total-length metadata. After a suffix read, fromUrl uses HEAD when needed to determine the file length. It rejects ranges outside that length. The test checks a suffix response without Content-Range and a subsequent out-of-bounds request.
Checked ZIP ranges and directory reads
lib/tdf3/src/utils/zip-reader.ts, lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts
ZipReader validates range bounds and exact read lengths. Central-directory and ZIP64 reads use checked reads. Tests cover repeated directory reads, extreme values, invalid offsets, and truncated records.
Manifest and entry-data validation
lib/tdf3/src/utils/zip-reader.ts, lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts, lib/tests/mocha/manifest-entry-name.spec.ts
Manifest and local-header reads use checked ranges. The reader validates JSON, local-header signatures, entry bounds, and payload segments. Tests cover malformed or oversized named manifests, invalid segments, and short reads.

Encrypted manifest assertion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Encrypted manifest assertion
lib/tests/mocha/root-signature.spec.ts
A test checks that payload.isEncrypted is true in the manifest returned by encryption and in the manifest loaded from the resulting buffer.

- readUInt64LE throws InvalidFileError on values beyond MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
- ZipReader reads every range through a checked helper that rejects
  non-integer/negative ranges, ranges extending past the start of the
  central directory, and short reads
- validate the local header signature and that each entry's data ends
  before the central directory
- validate payload segment offset/size against the payload entry size
- wrap manifest JSON parse failures in InvalidFileError
- pin that the writer always emits payload.isEncrypted: true
- an oversized aliased manifest entry (platform#3513 fixture) is now
  rejected while reading the central directory; adjust that test to
  assert the error still names the spec entry rather than falling back

Comment thread lib/src/seekable.ts Outdated
Cross-origin responses hide Content-Range unless exposed, and presigned GET
URLs or strict servers reject HEAD. Failing closed there broke remote decrypts
that worked before. Try HEAD once and continue without a length if it fails;
ZipReader still bounds entry data and rejects short reads.

Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>
Require stored entries whose compressed and uncompressed sizes agree, so the
manifest read and the entry data bound cover the same bytes. Reject manifests
that parse to something other than a JSON object instead of failing later with
a TypeError.

Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>
Pass readRange a structure name rather than a 'truncated' message, so range
errors no longer claim truncation; short reads still say 'truncated'. Document
readRange, dataRegionEnd and fromUrl bounds behaviour, and move the
fallback-resolution rationale to the fixture that still exercises it.

Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>
Add a successful remote archive read, exact and one-past bounds for remote
lengths and the central directory, a hostile local header extra field, an
unrepresentable header end and an empty trailing segment. Check that
malformed central directories reject with InvalidFileError.
