🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The CLI snapshot feature used an unvalidated, user-provided string for the snapshot name to construct the file path using snap_dir.join(format!("{name}.json")). This allows an attacker to inject ../ sequences into the snapshot name to escape the snapshot directory and read or write arbitrary JSON files with the user's permissions.
🎯 Impact: Path Traversal could lead to unauthorized local privilege escalation, overwriting critical data (like the active profile), or accessing files outside the snapshot directory.
πŸ”§ Fix: Introduced crate::utils::validate_file_name to strictly validate that the user-provided snapshot name only contains alphanumeric characters, underscores, and dashes. The function is called before doing any disk operations for save and restore actions.
βœ… Verification: Run cargo test --bin zinc-cli to verify no regressions. Code review assessed the validation as robust and complete.

Also appended a security learning to .jules/sentinel.md as per Sentinel's journal process.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 8522664903168902430 started by @bitcoiner-dev

Adds strict validation to snapshot names to prevent path traversal when
saving or restoring snapshots, rejecting names containing '.' or '/'.
