From 7379e6141b7c8269c30da261fd153a14329d63ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sawyer Cutler Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 05:13:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Unify permission verdict path with a mode-invariant catastrophic deny Move the catastrophic shell deny to the top of the gate's single verdict path so every entry denies before auto-allow, prompting, grants, and skipPermissions; the gate becomes the sole enforcement owner, the authz plugin is removed, and grant coverage routes through one function.

Dump paths (`evidence-archive/`, `tool-output/archive-*`) stay blocked so the on-disk sidecar is not the retrieval API.

Runs before the permission plugin, so the path-arg deny holds even under `--dangerously-skip-permissions`. Shell commands that _reference_ a sensitive path (tokenized so `cat .env`, `bun --env-file=.env run …`, and quote/env-assignment forms are detected) are not hard-denied here: they require operator approval via the permission gate, and auto mode forces an ask through the auto-shell policy (`sensitive-path` rule). Once the operator approves, the command runs. Shell detection is best-effort: token matching defeats quoting and env-assignment/redirection forms but not dynamic path construction (variable indirection, `printf` assembly). Tool-result secret scrub still redacts credential-shaped output. -- **Authorization** (`run-shell-authz.ts`, wired by `authz-plugin.ts`) — Denies catastrophic shell command patterns by regex, and hard-blocks shell `find`, head-position `rg`, and recursive `grep -r` (they can walk huge trees and OOM the host). Bounded `grep`/`search_files` tools remain practical alternatives (timeout + output caps); the patterns match those three command shapes only — an `ls -R`, `fd`, or scripted `os.walk` is just as unbounded and is not caught, so the block message tells the model not to substitute one. The permission gate’s shell auto-allow path consults the same policy so it never pre-approves a command authz would reject. +- **Authorization** (`run-shell-authz.ts`, enforced by the permission gate) — Denies catastrophic shell command patterns by regex, and hard-blocks shell `find`, head-position `rg`, and recursive `grep -r` (they can walk huge trees and OOM the host).

The gate hard-denies these at the top of its verdict path — before auto-allow, prompting, grants, and skipPermissions — so no mode or stored grant can admit them. - **Permission** (`permission-plugin.ts`) — Delegates consequential calls to the permission gate. - **Shell Guard** (`shell-guard-plugin.ts`) — Corbits Code-only replacement for stock `run_shell` (interchange stays unpatched): no built-in default timeout (optional per-call or `settings.shell.timeoutMs`; `maxTimeoutMs` clamps only a resolved timeout), 512KB display cap with head+tail retention (the process keeps running when the cap is hit), process-group kill on timeout, abort, and plugin dispose (live children tracked in the plugin and reaped by `posixTools.dispose`), and `background: true` — the call returns a `shell_id` at once (registry in `src/shell/background-shell.ts`), the process group keeps running past the turn, completion is delivered on a later turn via `buildShellBackgroundMessage`, and `shell_collect` retrieves or cancels (schema advertised by `advertiseShellGuardTimeout`; evaluated by the permission chain at start time like any shell call). Also applies a 10s wall-clock budget to `grep`/`search_files`. Ripgrep detached spawns are not tracked. - **Read File Guard** (`read-file-guard-plugin.ts`) — Corbits Code-only short-circuit for `read_file` on real filesystem paths and configured `tool-output://` URIs (interchange stays unpatched): streaming reads that never decode the whole file in one pass, caps model-facing output at 50KB, defaults to 2000 lines, truncates long lines with recovery hints, samples the first chunk to reject binary, and stops at an 8MB scan ceiling. Emits `offset` continuation notices so the model can page without losing file or spill content on disk. diff --git a/docs/IMPLEMENTATION.md b/docs/IMPLEMENTATION.md index 21d226238..2d78190d1 100644 --- a/docs/IMPLEMENTATION.md +++ b/docs/IMPLEMENTATION.md @@ -121,10 +121,9 @@ src/ evidence-archive-path-guard.ts Block dump-path reads of the archive sidecar tool-output-uri-plugin.ts Normalize read_file tool-output URIs secret-guard-plugin.ts Hard-deny path-keyed secret files - authz-plugin.ts Catastrophic command blocking (thin wrapper) - permission-plugin.ts Tiered operator approval + permission-plugin.ts Tiered operator approval (owns catastrophic shell deny) shell/ - run-shell-authz.ts Shared run_shell deny policy (authz + permission) + run-shell-authz.ts Shared run_shell deny policy (gate-enforced) background-shell.ts Background run_shell registry (start/collect/cancel/disposeAll) verify-plugin.ts Write/edit verification (per-path lock) file-mutation-lock.ts Serialize mutations per file for verify diff --git a/src/agent/codex-read-raw-file.ts b/src/agent/codex-read-raw-file.ts index b217d2a6e..348f5cc92 100644 --- a/src/agent/codex-read-raw-file.ts +++ b/src/agent/codex-read-raw-file.ts @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ * * `applyOp` calls this directly from outside the posixTools middleware chain * — no ToolPlugin ever sees `op.path` here, unlike the write leg which still - * goes through the full pathEscapePlugin / secretGuardPlugin / authzPlugin / + * goes through the full pathEscapePlugin / secretGuardPlugin / * permissionPlugin stack (see buildCorePosixToolPlugins in * posix-tool-plugins.ts). `requireRelativePath` in codex-apply-patch.ts only * rejects absolute paths — it does nothing about `../` traversal — so this diff --git a/src/agent/posix-tool-plugins.test.ts b/src/agent/posix-tool-plugins.test.ts index 5c4142715..f58886b50 100644 --- a/src/agent/posix-tool-plugins.test.ts +++ b/src/agent/posix-tool-plugins.test.ts @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ import { createPosixTools, composeMiddleware } from "@intx/tools-posix";
