CVE-2025-70952: Path Traversal String Startswith Bypass
Using `String.startsWith()` to check if a file path is safely contained within a directory is vulnerable to a partial path match bypass. For example, checking if `/tmp/dir_evil` startsWith `/tmp/dir` returns true, bypassing validation and potentially leading to path traversal (Zip Slip) attacks. Use the `java.nio.file.Path.startsWith()` method instead, which
