SUMMARY
There's a path traversal bug when saving gradients in Krita. Krita doesn't sanitize the name field used for the file names of gradients, dropping files outside of the "$XDG_DATA_HOME/krita/gradients" directory.

Similar to Bug 429925.

I haven't tested it thoroughly but I have a feeling this bug may also be present with other resource types. (palettes, brushes, etc.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create or open a new document
2. Gradients toolbar button -> Add...
3. Enter "../../../../test/abcd" as the name field
4. Click OK

OBSERVED RESULT
See attachment.

EXPECTED RESULT
Sanitize the name field before using it as a file name.

Comment 1 Nagy Tibor 2022-05-01 08:13:00 UTC

I went through most Krita features, I found more places vulnerable to these path traversals:
- Gradients (.svg)
- Palettes (.kpl)
- Predefined image sizes (.predefinedimage)
- Author profiles (.authorinfo)
- Workspaces (.kws)
- Resource bundles (.bundle)

Repro is the same everywhere:
- Create new something...
- Enter a relative path including "../../" as the name
- Save

Note: svg/stop gradients apparently are all saved as "unnamed.svg" right now and cannot be overwrriten. I think that's a way more important bug, though...

This may be a kio bug?
