🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Fix prototype pollution and unvalidated property access in language selection

[seonghobae]

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: Object property injection/prototype pollution due to unvalidated user input (location.search and localStorage) being used directly as an object key (messages[query]).
🎯 Impact: Attackers could inject arbitrary property names (like __proto__ or constructor), potentially leading to unexpected application behavior, XSS, or application crashes when evaluating truthiness.
🔧 Fix: Replaced the unsafe property check with a strict check against an allowed list (["ko", "en"]) before using the value.
✅ Verification: Tested locally by verifying normal operations and checking that malicious query parameters (e.g. ?lang=__proto__) default correctly without errors.

But note: the control block must be exactly one line? Actually, the example in the instructions is multi-line. However, the instructions say: "The JSON control block must be literal parseable JSON". We can format it as a single line or multi-line. But the example in the instructions is multi-line.

However, the instructions also say: "Do not include reasoning tags such as ...." and we are not including any.

But note: the first line is exactly the sentinel, then the control block.

However, the control block is an HTML comment that contains a JSON string. We must be careful to not break the comment.

Since the instructions do not specify the formatting of the JSON, we can make it compact or pretty. But the example in the instructions is pretty-printed. We'll do the same.

But note: the instructions say "Return only the review body." and the review body is exactly the two comments.

Therefore, we output:

However, the example in the instructions has the control block as a multi-line string. But the instructions do not require multi-line. We can do it in one line to avoid any potential comment break.

Alternatively, we can do:

But note: the instructions say "exactly one control block", meaning one line? Actually, the example in the instructions is multi-line. However, the tool that parses it should be able to handle multi-line.

But to be safe, we can do it in one line. However, the instructions do not to spend time on formatting. We'll do it in one line to avoid any potential issue with newlines.

However, the example in the instructions is:

So it is a single line.

Therefore, we output the control block as a single line.

Final output:

But note: the first line is exactly the sentinel, and then the control block is the next line.

However, the instructions say "Then exactly one control block", meaning the control block is the next thing. We are outputting it as the next line.

This should be acceptable.

However, note that the control block is an HTML comment and must be closed. We are closing it.

Therefore, we return the above.

OpenCode Agent approved this PR.

PR adds prototype pollution protection in i18n.js and documents the vulnerability in sentinel.md. Changes implement strict allowlist validation for language selection, preventing prototype pollution attacks while maintaining expected behavior.

• Result: APPROVE
• Reason: Security fix correctly implements allowlist validation and documents vulnerability
