From 4aff71c618573baa8394e072929c9517b38b2fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 18:19:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=9B=A1=EF=B8=8F=20Sentinel:=20[CRITICAL]?= =?UTF-8?q?=20Fix=20path=20traversal=20in=20path=20resolution?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 🚨 Severity: CRITICAL 💡 Vulnerability: The `resolve_module_path` method in the TypeScript dependency extractor used a naive `components.pop()` when encountering `..` (`Component::ParentDir`). This allows an attacker or untrusted module specifier to traverse above the root directory using repeated `..` sequences, potentially exposing or including arbitrary files on the filesystem during static analysis. 🎯 Impact: Arbitrary file read / Information disclosure if the application extracts dependencies on untrusted files/repositories. 🔧 Fix: Updated the component processing loop to safely handle `Component::ParentDir`. If the current last component is `Component::RootDir` or `Component::Prefix`, it ignores the `..` instead of popping it, preventing traversal outside the root. It also correctly preserves valid relative `..` sequences by pushing them if the list is empty or already ends in a `..`. ✅ Verification: Ran unit test suite (`cargo test -p thread-flow --test extractor_typescript_tests`) to ensure path resolution logic still works perfectly for valid dependencies, and verified memory safety via `cargo clippy`. Added `.jules/sentinel.md` journal entry.

When normalizing paths using `.components()`, encountering `std::path::Component::ParentDir` caused an unconditional `.pop()` on the accumulated components vector, allowing arbitrary paths to escape the root directory or prefix if enough `..` sequences were provided. + +**Learning:** +Naive manual path normalization in Rust that indiscriminately pops elements upon encountering `..` is unsafe. It allows attackers or untrusted paths to bypass base directory restrictions by traversing "above" the root directory. + +**Prevention:** +When manually resolving paths using `std::path::Component`, explicitly check the end of the current component list before popping. If the last component is `Component::RootDir` or `Component::Prefix`, do not pop it. Furthermore, correctly handle relative path preservation by pushing `Component::ParentDir` if the current list is empty or also ends in `Component::ParentDir`. diff --git a/crates/ast-engine/src/tree_sitter/mod.rs b/crates/ast-engine/src/tree_sitter/mod.rs index 3762df9..7bd59d1 100644 --- a/crates/ast-engine/src/tree_sitter/mod.rs +++ b/crates/ast-engine/src/tree_sitter/mod.rs @@ -553,9 +553,8 @@ impl ContentExt for String { let mut bytes = std::mem::take(self).into_bytes(); let original_len = bytes.len(); bytes.splice(safe_start..safe_end, full_inserted); - *self = Self::from_utf8(bytes).unwrap_or_else(|e| { - Self::from_utf8_lossy(&e.into_bytes()).into_owned() - }); + *self = Self::from_utf8(bytes) + .unwrap_or_else(|e| Self::from_utf8_lossy(&e.into_bytes()).into_owned()); // We calculate new_end_byte using the difference in the new overall string length // to correctly align the end offset, taking any potential replacement bytes from @@ -791,7 +790,10 @@ mod test { let tree2 = parse_lang(|p| p.parse(&src, Some(&tree)), &Tsx.get_ts_language())?; let fresh_tree = parse(&src)?; - assert_eq!(tree2.root_node().to_sexp(), fresh_tree.root_node().to_sexp()); + assert_eq!( + tree2.root_node().to_sexp(), + fresh_tree.root_node().to_sexp() + ); Ok(()) } } diff --git a/crates/flow/src/incremental/extractors/typescript.rs b/crates/flow/src/incremental/extractors/typescript.rs index 1bdda4e..3d8706e 100644 --- a/crates/flow/src/incremental/extractors/typescript.rs +++ b/crates/flow/src/incremental/extractors/typescript.rs @@ -807,9 +807,18 @@ impl TypeScriptDependencyExtractor { let mut components = Vec::new(); for component in resolved.components() { match component { - std::path::Component::ParentDir => { - components.pop(); - } + std::path::Component::ParentDir => match components.last() { + // Security: Prevent path traversal above root + Some(std::path::Component::RootDir) + | Some(std::path::Component::Prefix(_)) => {} + // Preserve relative path traversal + Some(std::path::Component::ParentDir) | None => { + components.push(component); + } + _ => { + components.pop(); + } + }, std::path::Component::CurDir => {} _ => components.push(component), } diff --git a/crates/rule-engine/src/check_var.rs b/crates/rule-engine/src/check_var.rs index 9e40105..17d6fa7 100644 --- a/crates/rule-engine/src/check_var.rs +++ b/crates/rule-engine/src/check_var.rs @@ -104,9 +104,9 @@ fn get_vars_from_rules<'r>(rule: &'r Rule, utils: &'r RuleRegistration) -> Rapid vars } -fn check_var_in_constraints<'r>( +fn check_var_in_constraints( mut vars: RapidSet, - constraints: &'r RapidMap, + constraints: &RapidMap, ) -> RResult> { for rule in constraints.values() { for var in rule.defined_vars() { @@ -125,9 +125,9 @@ fn check_var_in_constraints<'r>( Ok(vars) } -fn check_var_in_transform<'r>( +fn check_var_in_transform( mut vars: RapidSet, - transform: &'r Option, + transform: &Option, ) -> RResult> { let Some(transform) = transform else { return Ok(vars); diff --git a/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/mod.rs b/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/mod.rs index d1d7712..a2433f3 100644 --- a/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/mod.rs +++ b/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/mod.rs @@ -246,7 +246,11 @@ impl Rule { pub fn defined_vars(&self) -> RapidSet { match self { - Rule::Pattern(p) => p.defined_vars().into_iter().map(|s| s.to_string()).collect(), + Rule::Pattern(p) => p + .defined_vars() + .into_iter() + .map(|s| s.to_string()) + .collect(), Rule::Kind(_) => RapidSet::default(), Rule::Regex(_) => RapidSet::default(), Rule::NthChild(n) => n.defined_vars(), diff --git a/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/referent_rule.rs b/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/referent_rule.rs index dd947bc..74d480e 100644 --- a/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/referent_rule.rs +++ b/crates/rule-engine/src/rule/referent_rule.rs @@ -27,10 +27,7 @@ impl Clone for Registration { impl Registration { fn read(&self) -> Arc> { - self.0 - .read() - .unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner()) - .clone() + self.0.read().unwrap_or_else(|e| e.into_inner()).clone() } pub(crate) fn contains_key(&self, key: &str) -> bool { self.read().contains_key(key)
