Bare relative names that exist under the workspace are resolved so `cat leak` cannot follow a symlink out; URL slashes stay allowed; `file:///...` is still blocked. - Shell `workspace_only` expands `$HOME` / `${HOME}` / `$PWD` / `${PWD}` (including one quote layer) before the workspace check and fail-closes other `$...` forms such as ANSI-C `$'\x2f...'`. Glued expansions (`cat$IFS/etc/passwd`, `cat${IFS}/...`, `cat"$HOME/..."`, `python3 -c "open('$HOME/...')"`) are scanned on the full command, not only strtok tokens that start with `$`. `file:` URL variants (`file:/`, `file://localhost/`, `file://etc/passwd`) are extracted (including quote-split `f'ile:` / `'f'+'ile:`, hex/unicode-hidden `\x66ile:` / `\u0066ile:`, octal `\146ile:` / `\072`, and identity `f\ile:`) and percent-decoded (`%2e%2e`, `%2f`) before the workspace check. POSIX `\` + newline (optional CR) is collapsed before those scans. Embedded relative `../` is checked against the workspace, including `../` after `://` (`https://example.com/../../../../etc/passwd`); real `https://` fetches without a `..` walk stay allowed. `..` is collapsed lexically so a missing directory before `..` cannot pin the ancestor walk at the workspace, and is not cancelled across a symlink. Encoded `/` and `.` (`\x2f`, `\x2e`, `\x{2f}`, `\57`, `\56`, `\u002f`, `\u{2f}`, `\o{57}`) reconstruct a path body; `\N{` fail-closes. In-command `HOME=` / `PWD=` assignment, `export`, and `unset` fail closed even inside `eval` / `sh -c` quotes or after a comma or `[`. `env -i`, clustered `env -iu`, `env -u` / `--unset` HOME|PWD, POSIX `read HOME|PWD`, `printf -v HOME|PWD`, `declare -n` targeting HOME|PWD, `exec -c`, and `os.environ.pop`/`del`/`clear`/`update` / `os.unsetenv` / `os.putenv` / `os.environ["HOME"]=` of those names fail closed instead of trusting process getenv. Identity-escape fold (same decode as `file:` recovery) runs before the HOME/PWD keyword gate so `export PW\D=` / `\unset HOME` / `\env -i` cannot skip getenv. Encoded `$` (`\x24` / `\044` / `\u0024`) is decoded before the `$` expansion scan. +- Shell `sandbox_exec` applies a Landlock ruleset to the configured workspace (fail-closed) as the kernel host-FS bound, so symlink and `chr(47)+` host reads cannot skip the string scanner. Mount/network/PID namespaces fail closed (user namespace first when unprivileged) instead of running on the host netns. The `workspace_only` scanner stays defense-in-depth. - Discord Gateway RX grows for the trailing NUL so two 64 KiB libwebsockets fragments cannot write one byte past the heap block (typical READY payloads). - WebChat inbound WS `rx_buffer_size` is `WS_RX_BUFFER_SIZE` (`WS_TEXT_MAX` plus JSON envelope) so dashboard messages are not split across 256-byte RECEIVE callbacks and dropped. - WebChat WebSocket sends now accept agent replies up to 32 KiB (`WS_TEXT_MAX`, matching `RESPONSE_BUF_SIZE`) instead of silently dropping payloads above 8 KiB. Dest buffers are `WS_TEXT_BUF_SIZE` so a max-length payload keeps its NUL; a too-large frame is logged instead of skipped with `<`. diff --git a/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md b/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md index a7b24d2..2620459 100644 --- a/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md +++ b/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md @@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ Shell commands run in a **Linux sandbox** (namespaces + cgroups v2).
