  1. vuln-fix: Zip Slip Vulnerability

    This fixes a Zip-Slip vulnerability.
    
    This change does one of two things. This change either
    
    1. Inserts a guard to protect against Zip Slip.
    OR
    2. Replaces `dir.getCanonicalPath().startsWith(parent.getCanonicalPath())`, which is vulnerable to partial path traversal attacks, with the more secure `dir.getCanonicalFile().toPath().startsWith(parent.getCanonicalFile().toPath())`.
    
    For number 2, consider `"/usr/outnot".startsWith("/usr/out")`.
    The check is bypassed although `/outnot` is not under the `/out` directory.
    It's important to understand that the terminating slash may be removed when using various `String` representations of the `File` object.
    For example, on Linux, `println(new File("/var"))` will print `/var`, but `println(new File("/var", "/")` will print `/var/`;
    however, `println(new File("/var", "/").getCanonicalPath())` will print `/var`.
    
    Weakness: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
    Severity: High
    CVSSS: 7.4
