This PR addresses code scanning alert #7 (py/path-injection). After tracing the flagged path construction in ssltui/ca.py, the alert was determined to be a false positive; no source changes were required.

  • Assessment

    • The flagged sink is csr_path.unlink(missing_ok=True).
    • The path is not attacker-controlled in a way that allows traversal outside the CA store.
  • Why the alert does not apply

    • config.validate_cn(cn) constrains the common name to valid hostname-style input.
    • config.cert_dir(root, cn) re-validates cn, resolves the resulting path, and enforces that it remains directly under root / "certs".
    • The deleted file is the fixed child cert.csr under that validated certificate directory.
  • Change scope

    • No code changes.
    • PR description records the alert as a false positive for reviewer visibility.
cert_dir = config.cert_dir(root, cn)
csr_path = cert_dir / "cert.csr"
csr_path.unlink(missing_ok=True)
