Summary

createFileUrl and createFileDownloadUrl stripped the extension from the filename before building the URL, so both the inline "open in new tab" link and the download link for DAM files pointed at a path without a file extension (e.g. no .pdf). Browsers then saved a manually downloaded file without its extension.

  • filename in both URL builders now uses file.name (with extension) instead of parse(file.name).name.
  • The download routes now set Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="..." with the original filename (previously just attachment with no filename at all).

Reported in PHSB2C-13924 (CUPRA SI: PDF downloads losing their file extension, for both "open in new tab" and normal download links).

Follow-up (not part of this PR)

The same ticket also flagged that file upload validation only checks that the declared extension matches the declared mimetype (FileValidationService.validateFileMetadata), not that the actual file content matches the declared mimetype. Addressing that (e.g. via magic-number sniffing with the already-available file-type package) is intentionally left for a separate follow-up PR, since it needs its own design pass (e.g. legacy .doc/.xls/.ppt all sniff to the same generic container type and formats like plain text/CSV have no magic number to check).

Test plan

  • Upload a PDF in the DAM, add a link to it with "open in new window" and verify the resulting URL/download ends in .pdf
  • Same for a normal (non-new-window) download link
  • Verify an image asset link also downloads/opens with the correct extension

createFileUrl and createFileDownloadUrl stripped the extension from the
filename before building the URL, so both the inline "open in new tab"
link and the download link pointed at a path without a file extension
(e.g. no .pdf). Browsers then saved a manually downloaded file without
its extension.

Also set the original filename (with extension) on the Content-Disposition
header of the download routes, which previously only sent "attachment"
with no filename at all.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

DAM file URL generation now preserves complete filenames and extensions. Preview and hashed downloads now include sanitized filenames in Content-Disposition headers. A changeset documents the corrections.

Changes

DAM file handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve filenames in DAM URLs
packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.service.ts, .changeset/dam-file-url-missing-extension.md
File and download URL generation now uses the complete stored filename, including its extension. The changeset documents the corrected URL and download behavior.
Set sanitized download filenames
packages/api/cms-api/src/dam/files/files.controller.ts
Preview and hashed download responses now include sanitized stored filenames in Content-Disposition. The helper removes carriage returns, line feeds, double quotes, and backslashes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7ec2c

Downloads now retain original filenames, but certain accepted filenames with control characters can cause download responses to fail. Sanitize or reject all invalid header characters before merge.

Validate the full filename before setting Content-Disposition.

HasValidFilenameConstraint validates only the slugified basename and appends the extension unchanged. A name such as bad.pdf\u0000 can pass validation and persist through FilesService.updateByEntity. contentDispositionFilename does not remove NUL, and express.Response.setHeader can then throw ERR_INVALID_CHAR, which can fail the download. Validate control characters in the full filename or sanitize the value before setting the header.

contentDispositionFilename only removed CR/LF/quote/backslash. Any other
ASCII control character (e.g. NUL) in a filename would make
res.setHeader throw ERR_INVALID_CHAR and fail the download entirely, so
strip the whole 0x00-0x1F/0x7F range instead of an ad-hoc subset.
