From 3b3e8e1b0ba1831008e8cefdf115215c8b10731c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KKK <834247613@qq.com> Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 17:15:24 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat(sandbox): strengthen bash command auditing with compound splitting and expanded patterns (#1881) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * fix(sandbox): strengthen regex coverage in SandboxAuditMiddleware Expand high-risk patterns from 6 to 13 and medium-risk from 4 to 6, closing several bypass vectors identified by cross-referencing Claude Code's BashSecurity validator chain against DeerFlow's threat model. High-risk additions: - Generalised pipe-to-sh (replaces narrow curl|sh rule) - Targeted command substitution ($() / backtick with dangerous executables) - base64 decode piped to execution - Overwrite system binaries (/usr/bin/, /bin/, /sbin/) - Overwrite shell startup files (~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, etc.) - /proc/*/environ leakage - LD_PRELOAD / LD_LIBRARY_PATH hijack - /dev/tcp/ bash built-in networking Medium-risk additions: - sudo/su (no-op under Docker root, warn only) - PATH= modification (long attack chain, warn only) Design decisions: - Command substitution uses targeted matching (curl/wget/bash/sh/python/ ruby/perl/base64) rather than blanket block to avoid false positives on safe usage like $(date) or `whoami`. - Skipped encoding/obfuscation checks (hex, octal, Unicode homoglyphs) as ROI is low in Docker sandbox — LLMs don't generate encoded commands and container isolation bounds the blast radius. - Merged pip/pip3 into single pip3? pattern. * feat(sandbox): compound command splitting and fork bomb detection Split compound bash commands (&&, ||, ;) into sub-commands and classify each independently — prevents dangerous commands hidden after safe prefixes (e.g. "cd /workspace && rm -rf /") from bypassing detection. - Add _split_compound_command() with shlex quote-aware splitting - Add fork bomb detection patterns (classic and while-loop variants) - Most severe verdict wins; block short-circuits - 15 new tests covering compound commands, splitting, and fork bombs * test(sandbox): add async tests for fork bomb and compound commands Cover awrap_tool_call path for fork bomb detection (3 variants) and compound command splitting (block/warn/pass scenarios). * fix(sandbox): address Copilot review — no-whitespace operators, >>/etc/, whole-command scan - _split_compound_command: replace shlex-based implementation with a character-by-character quote/escape-aware scanner. shlex.split only separates '&&' / '||' / ';' when they are surrounded by whitespace, so payloads like 'rm -rf /&&echo ok' or 'safe;rm -rf /' bypassed the previous splitter and therefore the per-sub-command classifier. - _HIGH_RISK_PATTERNS: change r'>\s*/etc/' to r'>+\s*/etc/' so append redirection ('>>/etc/hosts') is also blocked. - _classify_command: run a whole-command high-risk scan *before* splitting. Structural attacks like 'while true; do bash & done' span multiple shell statements — splitting on ';' destroys the pattern context, so the raw command must be scanned first. - tests: add no-whitespace operator cases to TestSplitCompoundCommand and test_compound_command_classification to lock in the bypass fix. --- .../middlewares/sandbox_audit_middleware.py | 141 ++++++++++++- .../tests/test_sandbox_audit_middleware.py | 195 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 327 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/sandbox_audit_middleware.py b/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/sandbox_audit_middleware.py index 3f9ab74ad..e41f5912a 100644 --- a/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/sandbox_audit_middleware.py +++ b/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/sandbox_audit_middleware.py @@ -23,25 +23,119 @@ logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) # Each pattern is compiled once at import time. _HIGH_RISK_PATTERNS: list[re.Pattern[str]] = [ - re.compile(r"rm\s+-[^\s]*r[^\s]*\s+(/\*?|~/?\*?|/home\b|/root\b)\s*$"), # rm -rf / /* ~ /home /root - re.compile(r"(curl|wget).+\|\s*(ba)?sh"), # curl|sh, wget|sh + # --- original rules (retained) --- + re.compile(r"rm\s+-[^\s]*r[^\s]*\s+(/\*?|~/?\*?|/home\b|/root\b)\s*$"), re.compile(r"dd\s+if="), re.compile(r"mkfs"), re.compile(r"cat\s+/etc/shadow"), - re.compile(r">\s*/etc/"), # overwrite /etc/ files + re.compile(r">+\s*/etc/"), + # --- pipe to sh/bash (generalised, replaces old curl|sh rule) --- + re.compile(r"\|\s*(ba)?sh\b"), + # --- command substitution (targeted – only dangerous executables) --- + re.compile(r"[`$]\(?\s*(curl|wget|bash|sh|python|ruby|perl|base64)"), + # --- base64 decode piped to execution --- + re.compile(r"base64\s+.*-d.*\|"), + # --- overwrite system binaries --- + re.compile(r">+\s*(/usr/bin/|/bin/|/sbin/)"), + # --- overwrite shell startup files --- + re.compile(r">+\s*~/?\.(bashrc|profile|zshrc|bash_profile)"), + # --- process environment leakage --- + re.compile(r"/proc/[^/]+/environ"), + # --- dynamic linker hijack (one-step escalation) --- + re.compile(r"\b(LD_PRELOAD|LD_LIBRARY_PATH)\s*="), + # --- bash built-in networking (bypasses tool allowlists) --- + re.compile(r"/dev/tcp/"), + # --- fork bomb --- + re.compile(r"\S+\(\)\s*\{[^}]*\|\s*\S+\s*&"), # :(){ :|:& };: + re.compile(r"while\s+true.*&\s*done"), # while true; do bash & done ] _MEDIUM_RISK_PATTERNS: list[re.Pattern[str]] = [ - re.compile(r"chmod\s+777"), # overly permissive, but reversible - re.compile(r"pip\s+install"), - re.compile(r"pip3\s+install"), + re.compile(r"chmod\s+777"), + re.compile(r"pip3?\s+install"), re.compile(r"apt(-get)?\s+install"), + # sudo/su: no-op under Docker root; warn so LLM is aware + re.compile(r"\b(sudo|su)\b"), + # PATH modification: long attack chain, warn rather than block + re.compile(r"\bPATH\s*="), ] -def _classify_command(command: str) -> str: - """Return 'block', 'warn', or 'pass'.""" - # Normalize for matching (collapse whitespace) +def _split_compound_command(command: str) -> list[str]: + """Split a compound command into sub-commands (quote-aware). + + Scans the raw command string so unquoted shell control operators are + recognised even when they are not surrounded by whitespace + (e.g. ``safe;rm -rf /`` or ``rm -rf /&&echo ok``).
