I am creating a website using Python Django and the main purpose of the website is to modify XML files. I have uploaded the files to the hosting server and when I try to perform the conversion, I need to add another file to the database record that was created. On my local server, the process works smoothly without any issues, but when I try to do it on the hosting server, I get an error message:
"SuspiciousFileOperation at /test/ Detected path traversal attempt in '/home/t/tkor470gma/converter/new_CUST.xml".
My models.py looks like this:
class Document(models.Model):
document = models.FileField(verbose_name='Document (old structure with settings)',upload_to='documents/')
document1 = models.FileField(verbose_name='Document (new structures without settings)',upload_to='documents/')
author = models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
resdocument = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/',blank=True)
transaction_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
forms.py
class DocumentForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Document
fields = ['document','document1']
views.py - this form uploads files to the database
def model_form_upload(request):
form = DocumentForm()
pathresdoc = ''
if request.method == 'POST':
user = request.user
form = DocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
obj = Document.objects.filter(author_id=user).order_by('-id')
if obj.count() >= 1:
return HttpResponse('it is impossible to convert first <button>Pay</button>')
else:
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.author = user
form.save()
create_file(request.user.id)
respeople = instance.id
add_file_to_database('/home/t/tkor470gma/converter/new_CUST.xml',respeople)
pathresdoc = Document.objects.get(id=respeople).resdocument.path
else:
form = DocumentForm()
return render(request, 'model_form.html', {'form': form,'pathresdoc': str(pathresdoc)})
This one adds the resulting file to the database:
def add_file_to_database(file_path,idtransaction):
my_file = File(open(file_path, 'rb'))
model_instance = Document.objects.get(id=idtransaction)
model_instance.resdocument = my_file
model_instance.save_base()
This one creates the file itself:
def create_file(request):
obj = Document.objects.filter(author_id=request).order_by('-id')[0]
converterfile(str(obj.document.path),str(obj.document1.path),r"/home/t/tkor470gma/converter/new_CUST.xml")
This calls the program which converts the files:
def converterfile(file1,file2,file3):
call(['python',"/home/t/tkor470gma/converter/backend/New_file.py", file1, file2, file3], shell=True)
How can I resolve this issue? I have tried using both the relative and absolute path, but the same error keeps appearing.
