From 19c96d148c8801de282c6545fed8e1a573469790 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: CleverThis Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 09:34:40 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(security): fix file_ops.py validate_sandbox_path startswith bypass #7478 Replace string-based startswith() path traversal check in validate_sandbox_path with robust Path.is_relative_to(). The old check using str(target).startswith(str(root)) could be evaded by paths like /workdir/sandboxed/secret when root is /workdir/sandbox, because the malicious path happens to start with the root string. Path.is_relative_to() uses semantic path containment comparison and correctly rejects /workdir/sandboxed/secret as escaping the sandbox at /workdir/sandbox. Also added a docstring explaining the vulnerability pattern.
