Use tools like `semgrep` with python security rules to actively catch these patterns. +## 2026-06-06 - Prevented Arbitrary Code Execution in AST Evaluation +**Vulnerability:** Found a vulnerability in `src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py` where `ast.Call` nodes were allowed without any whitelisting during dynamic type evaluation via `ast.parse(type_str, mode="eval")`. This could lead to Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) if an attacker can control the type string being evaluated, as any callable in the module's global namespace could be executed. +**Learning:** When validating AST trees for dynamic type evaluation using `eval()`, allowing generic `ast.Call` nodes is dangerous. It permits execution of any callable in the module's global namespace. +**Prevention:** `ast.Call` nodes must be strictly whitelisted to specific, required functions (e.g., `Depends`, `depends`, `Field`, `PrivateAttr`, `Tag`, `Parameter`) when validating an AST before evaluating it. diff --git a/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py b/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py index 7cd68ce98..b8546e877 100644 --- a/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py +++ b/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py @@ -84,7 +84,7 @@ def __init__(self) -> None: self._request_cache: dict[Any, Any] = {} # Keys can be types or callables self._providers_loaded: bool = False # Track if auto-discovery has run - def _safe_eval_type(self, type_str: str, globalns: dict[str, Any]) -> Any | None: + def _safe_eval_type(self, type_str: str, globalns: dict[str, Any]) -> Any | None: # noqa: C901 """Safely evaluate a type string using AST validation.
