fix: encode Google Cloud Storage Content-Disposition filenames by Chehak7 · Pull Request #42094 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat

Chehak7 · 2026-09-10T18:01:57Z

Proposed changes (including videos or screenshots)

The Google Cloud Storage upload backend currently interpolates file.name into object metadata without quoting it. Filenames containing commas or spaces therefore produce an invalid Content-Disposition value that Chromium-based browsers reject.

This change:

generates a quoted and escaped filename parameter for GCS object metadata;
adds an RFC 5987 filename* parameter for Unicode names while retaining an ASCII fallback;
replaces control characters before constructing the header value;
covers the reported generated-thumbnail filename plus escaping, Unicode, control-character, and ordinary filename cases;
includes a patch changeset for the user-facing fix.

Issue(s)

Closes #42091

Steps to test or reproduce

Automated validation completed in the Node 24.15.0 / Meteor 3.5 development container:

focused regression test: 5 passing;
targeted ESLint: passing;
yarn typecheck: passing;
yarn .testunit:server: 2,475 passing, 12 pending.

Manual reproduction:

Configure Google Cloud Storage as the file-upload backend.
Upload or generate an image named thumb-Clipboard - August 21, 2026 11:47 AM.png.
Open the image in a Chromium-based browser.
Confirm the object metadata contains inline; filename="thumb-Clipboard - August 21, 2026 11:47 AM.png" and the image loads successfully.

Further comments

The change affects metadata written for new uploads. It intentionally does not perform a bucket-wide migration; existing affected objects still need to be re-uploaded or have their metadata repaired by an administrator.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Fixed Google Cloud Storage file uploads failing to load in Chromium-based browsers when filenames contain spaces, commas, quotes, Unicode characters, or other special characters.
- Improved filename handling for uploaded files by sanitizing unsafe characters, preserving readable names, and providing compatible fallback formats.
- Existing affected files may need to be re-uploaded or have their metadata repaired manually.

Walkthrough

Google Cloud Storage uploads now generate valid Content-Disposition metadata for filenames with special characters or Unicode. The change adds sanitization, escaping, RFC 5987 encoding, regression tests, and a patch changeset.

Changes

GCS filename header handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filename header builder and tests `apps/meteor/server/lib/media/file-upload/ufs/GoogleStorage/getContentDisposition.ts`, `apps/meteor/server/lib/media/file-upload/ufs/GoogleStorage/getContentDisposition.spec.ts`	The new helper sanitizes control characters, escapes ASCII fallback filenames, and appends RFC 5987 UTF-8 encoding for Unicode filenames. Tests cover special characters, escaping, Unicode, control characters, and plain ASCII names.
Upload metadata integration `apps/meteor/server/lib/media/file-upload/ufs/GoogleStorage/server.ts`, `.changeset/gentle-clouds-quote.md`	Google Storage uploads now use the helper for inline `Content-Disposition` metadata. The changeset declares a patch release for the fix.

File: packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts:192-192
Timestamp: 2026-02-26T19:25:44.063Z
Learning: In this repository (RocketChat/Rocket.Chat), Biome lint rules are not used even if a biome.json exists. When reviewing TypeScript files (e.g., packages/ui-voip/src/providers/useMediaSession.ts), ensure lint suggestions do not reference Biome-specific rules. Rely on general ESLint/TypeScript lint rules and project conventions instead.

Learning: In the Rocket.Chat repository, do not reference Biome lint rules in code review feedback. Biome is not used even if biome.json exists; only reference Biome rules if there is explicit, project-wide usage documented. For TypeScript files, review lint implications without Biome guidance unless the project enables Biome rules.
