Two defects in the keepsake, both silent server-side and both only visible by
extracting the real artifact and trying to use it.
1. A CAPTION COULD BRICK THE VIEWER.
The viewer's data is inlined as `<script>window.__EXPORT_DATA__={…}</script>` -- it has
to be, since guests open index.html over file:// where fetching a sibling data.json is
blocked. The escape was `</` -> `<\/`. Against XSS that holds; I fired
`</script><img src=x onerror=…>` through a real Chromium parser and it round-trips
inert.
It does not stop the caption steering the HTML TOKENIZER. `<!--<script` with no later
`-->` drives the parser into script-data-double-escaped state, where the template's own
`</script>` only steps back to script-data-escaped instead of closing the element.
Everything after it -- including the viewer bundle -- is swallowed as script data.
Nothing executes and nothing leaks: `__EXPORT_DATA__` is simply never assigned and the
keepsake opens blank. A denial of the deliverable, not an XSS.
Reproduced in Chromium before changing anything, and the near-miss is worth recording:
`<!--<script>alert(1)</script>-->` comes back CLEAN, because the trailing `-->` returns
the parser to script-data state. A probe using the terminated form quietly repairs the
thing it is testing for.
Fix: escape every `<` as `<`, not just `</`. `<` never appears in JSON structural
syntax -- only inside string values -- so a global replace is sound, and one rule covers
`</script`, `<!--` and `<script` together. That is the point: the old escape was named
for the single case it handled. Only the INLINED copy is escaped; data.json is written
separately, in no HTML context, and stays literal.
2. EVERY ENTRY IN BOTH ARCHIVES WAS STORED MODE 0000.
`ZipEntryBuilder::new` leaves the external file attribute at zero and async_zip's host
compatibility defaults to Unix, so `unzip -Z` showed `?---------` on every line of both
Gallery.zip and Memories.zip. Windows Explorer ignores Unix modes, which is why this
survived; on Linux and macOS `unzip` faithfully applies what the archive asks for and
the guest gets a folder of photos none of which they can open.
Unconditional -- every keepsake ever produced, no hostile input required -- and
invisible server-side: the export succeeds, the ZIP is well-formed, the job writes
`done`, /export/status is green.
Found by accident. The browser test for defect 1 failed with ERR_ACCESS_DENIED on
file://, which looked exactly like a Playwright sandbox quirk; I twice "worked around"
it (fresh context, then a separately launched browser) before checking the extracted
files and finding mode 000. The workaround was suppressing a real bug. Both workarounds
are gone -- the ordinary `page` fixture loads the archive fine now.
Fix: all six ZipEntryBuilder sites route through one `keepsake_entry` helper stamping
`S_IFREG | 0644`, so the mode cannot be forgotten at a call site.
Tests: 3 unit (no `<` survives; the payload still decodes to the original value, because
this is a transport encoding and not a sanitiser; a clean payload is untouched) and 2
e2e that release for real, download the real archives, and check them from outside the
app -- one opening index.html over file:// in Chromium and asserting the viewer booted,
the captions came back verbatim and nothing executed; one asserting every stored mode
and every extracted file is readable. Both assertions verified to FAIL against the
pre-fix artifacts.
