class MTimeProtectedFastFileStorage in Drupal 8

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 9 core/lib/Drupal/Component/PhpStorage/MTimeProtectedFastFileStorage.php \Drupal\Component\PhpStorage\MTimeProtectedFastFileStorage

Stores PHP code in files with securely hashed names.

The goal of this class is to ensure that if a PHP file is replaced with an untrusted one, it does not get loaded. Since mtime granularity is 1 second, we cannot prevent an attack that happens within one second of the initial save(). However, it is very unlikely for an attacker exploiting an upload or file write vulnerability to also know when a legitimate file is being saved, discover its hash, undo its file permissions, and override the file with an upload all within a single second. Being able to accomplish that would indicate a site very likely vulnerable to many other attack vectors.

Each file is stored in its own unique containing directory. The hash is based on the virtual file name, the containing directory's mtime, and a cryptographically hard to guess secret string. Thus, even if the hashed file name is discovered and replaced by an untrusted file (e.g., via a move_uploaded_file() invocation by a script that performs insufficient validation), the directory's mtime gets updated in the process, invalidating the hash and preventing the untrusted file from getting loaded.

This class does not protect against overwriting a file in-place (e.g. a malicious module that does a file_put_contents()) since this will not change the mtime of the directory. MTimeProtectedFileStorage protects against this at the cost of an additional system call for every load() and exists().

The containing directory is created with the same name as the virtual file name (slashes removed) to assist with debugging, since the file itself is stored with a name that's meaningless to humans.
