Sink boundary: Input participates in a filesystem path that should remain inside a trusted directory.
The pack does not provide a callable signature for this record; the watched access path is shown directly.
No positional argument is specified; inspect the return value or named access path in the model facts below.
Attacker's-eye view · path-traversal
Traversal segments, absolute paths, or links escape the intended root and reach another resource.
// modeled boundary: Receiver
write_text(attacker_influenced_value);
1Resolve against a fixed root.
2Reject traversal and unexpected schemes.
3Check the resolved path before access.
These checks require the surrounding codebase. The model names the boundary; it does not decide reachability or prove that a guard dominates every path.
Is this a bug in your code?Atropos stops here — by design
Atropos identifies Receiver as a path-traversal sink. It cannot see whether untrusted data reaches this call in your repository.
Lachesis is the codebase-level step: it traces reachability and guards for this symbol.
