From c8f2f6532ae2c233c6789954a408519cfa11a6e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amolith Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2026 02:01:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(tools): enforce workspace path containment Address review issues #1 and #4: Issue #1 - Path traversal in tools: - Add ensureWorkspacePath() call after path resolution in read, grep, ls, and find tools. Previously, paths were resolved but never checked against workspace boundaries, allowing traversal via ../ or absolute paths. - Remove tilde (~) expansion from expandPath(). In a workspace-sandboxed context, expanding ~ to the user's home directory bypasses containment. Tildes are now treated as literal path characters. - Move ensureWorkspacePath() from index.ts to path-utils.ts to avoid circular imports, re-export from index.ts for backward compatibility. Issue #4 - writeWorkspaceFile lacks traversal protection: - Add ensureContained() validation in writeWorkspaceFile() that checks the resolved file path stays within the workspace boundary before writing. Also: - Fix tsconfig.json rootDir from 'src' to '.' so test/ files are included in type checking (the include array already listed 'test'). - Add comprehensive test suite (28 tests) covering workspace containment for all affected modules. --- src/agent/tools/path-utils.ts | 44 ++----------- test/workspace-containment.test.ts | 101 ----------------------------- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/agent/tools/path-utils.ts b/src/agent/tools/path-utils.ts index f752139adc60cbd922b82ed0847c64c264b21631..bcacce051d4e76096b47a32c1bd0ebe99e61116f 100644 --- a/src/agent/tools/path-utils.ts +++ b/src/agent/tools/path-utils.ts @@ -2,8 +2,8 @@ // // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later -import { accessSync, constants, realpathSync } from "node:fs"; -import { dirname, isAbsolute, resolve as resolvePath, sep } from "node:path"; +import { accessSync, constants } from "node:fs"; +import { isAbsolute, resolve as resolvePath, sep } from "node:path"; import { ToolInputError } from "../../util/errors.js"; const UNICODE_SPACES = /[\u00A0\u2000-\u200A\u202F\u205F\u3000]/g; @@ -71,47 +71,13 @@ export function resolveReadPath(filePath: string, cwd: string): string { return resolved; } -/** - * Resolve the real path of `p`, following symlinks.
