Description / General info

I couldn't find an opensource ZipBomb blocker, so this is my attempt at making one.

It is a work in progress, but the scan feature is usable and safe_extract works for linux.

DO NOT EXTRACT THE EXAMPLE ZIPS! It will make you sad. No one wants you to be sad.

They are malicious by intent and only for testing purposes.

Installation:

pip install SecureZip

Usage:

SecureZip.Loader parameters:

• [REQUIRED] zip_file: Path to zip
• [OPTIONAL] ratio_threshold: compression ratio threshold when to rule the zip malicious. Default = 1032
• [OPTIONAL] nested_zips_limit: Total zip count when to abort and rule the zip malicious. Default = 3
• [OPTIONAL] nested_levels_limit: Limit when to abort travelling the zips and rule the zip malicious. Default = 2
• [OPTIONAL] killswitch_seconds: Seconds to allow traversing the zip. After the limit is hit, zip is ruled malicious. Default = 1
• [OPTIONAL] symlinks_allowed: Boolean. Default = False
• [OPTIONAL] directory_travelsal_allowed: Boolean. Default = False

Loader methods:

• is_dangerous() -> bool
• has_travelsal() -> bool
• has_links() -> bool

from pathlib import Path
import SecureZip

file = Path('myzip.zip')
zip = SecureZip.Loader(zip_file=file)
if zip.scan() and zip.get_compression_ratio() > 1032:
    print(zip.output())
else:
    #do something with the zip

from pathlib import Path
import SecureZip

file = Path('myzip.zip')
zip = SecureZip.Loader(zip_file=file)
zip.scan() # Returns true when zip should be considered malicious
if zip.is_dangerous(): # Returns true when zip should be considered malicious
    do stuff

Example output from output() after calling scan() -> bool
