Why choose this project topic?
A focused investigation of rejecting unsafe file paths before unpacking a supplied archive makes security assumptions visible and testable. The project can use unsafe-path rejection, valid extraction and limit enforcement to explain both the value of the proposed control and the situations where it remains insufficient.
How effectively does secure archive extraction guard address rejecting unsafe file paths before unpacking a supplied archive, assessed through unsafe-path rejection, valid extraction and limit enforcement?
Agree the owned test environment, threat assumptions and assessment criteria with your supervisor; keep the scope focused on rejecting unsafe file paths before unpacking a supplied archive.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the assets, trust boundaries and evidence relevant to rejecting unsafe file paths before unpacking a supplied archive.
- 02Build harmless synthetic archives containing boundary path cases, validate intended extraction destinations and test resource limits in a disposable directory.
- 03Evaluate unsafe-path rejection, valid extraction and limit enforcement and document residual limitations.
A suggested research approach
Build harmless synthetic archives containing boundary path cases, validate intended extraction destinations and test resource limits in a disposable directory. Agree the authorisation and data-handling boundaries before any collection. Record the baseline, expected outcomes and reproducible test conditions, then analyse unsafe-path rejection, valid extraction and limit enforcement without treating a successful demonstration as proof of complete protection.
What you will need
- Harmless test archives
- Disposable extraction directory
- Path validation test suite
Keep your project scope clear
Never unpack untrusted real archives outside an isolated environment; passing tests is not a security certification.
