The below simple java code getting Fortify Path Manipulation error. Please help me to resolve this. I am struggling from long time.
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File file=new File(args[0]);
}
}
Looking at the OWASP page for Path Manipulation, it says
An attacker can specify a path used in an operation on the filesystem
You are opening a file as defined by a user-given input. Your code is almost a perfect example of the vulnerability! Either
Or re-think your application's design.
