fix: add path validation in Analyzer.c

[orbisai0security]

Summary

Fix high severity security issue in src/Analyzer.c.

Vulnerability

Field	Value
ID	V-005
Severity	HIGH
Scanner	multi_agent_ai
Rule	V-005
File	src/Analyzer.c:119
CWE	CWE-22

Description: The Analyzer component reads files using fgets with file paths that may be influenced by user input through the SeasLog PHP API (SeasLog::analyzerCount(), SeasLog::analyzerDetail()). Without validation against path traversal sequences, an attacker could read arbitrary files on the system through the Analyzer's file reading functionality.

Changes

• src/Analyzer.c

Verification

• Build passes
• Scanner re-scan confirms fix
• LLM code review passed

Security Invariant

Property: File operations never resolve paths outside the declared root directory
