+``AttachmentService.save_upload_file`` joined the client-supplied multipart
+filename onto a freshly created temp directory without sanitization. A filename
+containing ``../`` segments escaped that directory, so the upload wrote
+attacker-controlled bytes to an arbitrary host path and the cleanup ``unlink``
+then deleted that same traversed path -- arbitrary file write and delete behind
+an unauthenticated endpoint.
+
+These tests pin the basename normalisation and prove a traversal filename can no
+longer reach a victim file outside the temp/WareHouse area.
