- Extract path validation logic into shared helper function in
backend/app/utils/path_utils.py (validate_log_path)
- Refactor AddLogPathRequest to use the helper function
- Apply the same validation to DELETE /api/config/jails/{name}/logpath
endpoint by validating the log_path query parameter
- Return HTTP 422 with descriptive error if validation fails
- Add comprehensive unit tests for path validation
- Update Backend-Development.md with usage examples
This prevents path-traversal attacks on the delete_log_path endpoint
by ensuring all log paths are within allowlisted directories.
