🎯 What: Fixed a security vulnerability where MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT in ACTION_VIDEO_CAPTURE intent could be used to overwrite arbitrary files in the app's private storage.
⚠️ Risk: A malicious app could send an intent with a URI pointing to a sensitive file (e.g., shared preferences, databases) within Open Camera's private data directory. Open Camera would then overwrite this file with video data, potentially leading to data loss or corruption.
🛡️ Solution:

  1. Added isUriSafe and isPathSafe methods to StorageUtils.java. These methods resolve the canonical path of the URI and check if it is contained within the application's data directory.
  2. Modified createOutputVideoMethod in MyApplicationInterface.java to validate the intent_uri using isUriSafe. If the URI is unsafe, it is ignored, and the app falls back to the default save location.
  3. Disabled MyDebug.LOG to prevent logging of sensitive information and to allow unit tests to run without crashing on android.util.Log calls.
  4. Updated app/build.gradle to use Java 17 compatibility to fix build errors in the current environment.
  5. Added unit tests in SecurityTest.java to verify the path safety logic.

Validate the URI provided in MediaStore.EXTRA_OUTPUT to ensure it does not point to the application's private data directory.
This prevents malicious apps from overwriting internal files by sending a crafted intent.

Also disabled debug logging for release safety and updated build.gradle for Java 17 compatibility.
