Summary

This PR bundles fixes for several security issues identified by GitHub Advanced Security (CodeQL) and Semgrep code scanning.

Security Fixes

1. Workflow Permissions (CodeQL)

  • Add explicit permissions blocks to GitHub Actions workflows
  • Restrict GITHUB_TOKEN to minimum required permissions following principle of least privilege
  • Affected files: automated-releases.yml, build-and-test-v3.yml, publish-npm.yml, test-simple.yml

2. Path Traversal (CodeQL)

  • Fix directory traversal vulnerability in screen example's asset middleware
  • User-provided URL paths were concatenated directly without validation
  • Added path validation using filepath.Clean and directory containment checks
  • Affected file: v3/examples/screen/main.go

3. Command Injection (CodeQL)

  • Fix arbitrary command execution in setup wizard's dependency installation endpoint
  • User-provided commands were executed directly without validation
  • Added whitelist of allowed commands (package managers only)
  • Affected file: v3/internal/setupwizard/wizard.go

4. Rollup XSS Vulnerability (Semgrep - CVE-2024-47068)

  • Update rollup from 3.28.0 to 3.29.5
  • Fixes Cross-site Scripting vulnerability when bundling with import.meta.url
  • Affected file: v3/examples/dev/frontend/package-lock.json

Test plan

  • Verify GitHub Actions workflows run successfully
  • Confirm screen example serves assets correctly and blocks path traversal
  • Verify setup wizard dependency installation works for allowed commands
  • Confirm dev example frontend builds correctly

Walkthrough

This pull request implements security hardening across the codebase by restricting GITHUB_TOKEN permissions in workflows following the principle of least privilege, fixing a path traversal vulnerability in the screen example's asset serving middleware, and adding command whitelisting to prevent command injection attacks in the setup wizard dependency installation.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Workflow Permission Configuration
.github/workflows/automated-releases.yml, .github/workflows/build-and-test-v3.yml, .github/workflows/publish-npm.yml, .github/workflows/test-simple.yml
Added top-level and per-job GITHUB_TOKEN permission restrictions, limiting default access to contents: read and granting contents: write only where required (release jobs). Unused permissions explicitly set to empty.
Security Vulnerability Fixes
v3/examples/screen/main.go
Replaced unsafe direct path construction with normalized, traversal-resistant path resolution using filepath.Clean, directory joining, and prefix validation to ensure requested assets remain within designated asset directory.
Command Injection Prevention
v3/internal/setupwizard/wizard.go
Introduced whitelist-based command execution model with allowed commands and allowed sudo commands. Added isCommandAllowed validation that inspects the actual executed tool after parsing privilege-escalation wrappers (sudo/pkexec/doas), rejecting non-whitelisted commands prior to execution.
Security Changelog
v3/UNRELEASED_CHANGELOG.md
Documented four security fixes: GITHUB_TOKEN permission restrictions, path traversal vulnerability fix, command injection vulnerability fix, and rollup dependency update (CVE-2024-47068).

Poem

🐰 With locks on tokens, paths are clean,
No command sneaks where we've not been,
Each workflow guarded, least privilege reigns,
Security wrapped in our digital veins,
Safer code hops through the night!

In `@v3/internal/setupwizard/wizard.go`:
- Around line 599-613: The current flag-skipping logic in the
privilege-escalation branch (cmd == "sudo" || cmd == "pkexec" || cmd == "doas")
is unsafe; replace the loop that advances actualCmdIndex with strict validation:
require that parts has at least 2 elements and that parts[1] is exactly one of
the allowedSudoCommands (and not a flag), and reject any invocation containing
flags before the command (i.e., do not try to parse flags or accept tokens
starting with '-'); update the check in that branch to simply return
allowedSudoCommands[parts[1]] (ensuring parts[1] is present and not prefixed
with '-') so only the privilege command immediately followed by the package
manager is allowed.

547-585: Consider adding additional package managers for broader compatibility.

The whitelist covers most major package managers but misses a few:

  • apk — Alpine Linux package manager (common in Docker containers)
  • snap — Ubuntu's snap package manager
  • flatpak — cross-distribution application packaging

These omissions would cause false negatives for users on those systems rather than security issues.

632-633: Note: strings.Fields doesn't handle quoted arguments.

Commands like apt install "package name with spaces" would be incorrectly split. This is a minor usability limitation rather than a security issue since exec.Command doesn't invoke a shell. Package names with spaces are rare in practice.

This commit bundles fixes for several security issues identified by
GitHub Advanced Security and Semgrep code scanning.

## Workflow Permissions (CodeQL)
- Add explicit permissions blocks to GitHub Actions workflows
- Restrict GITHUB_TOKEN to minimum required permissions
- Affected files: automated-releases.yml, build-and-test-v3.yml,
  publish-npm.yml, test-simple.yml

## Path Traversal (CodeQL)
- Fix directory traversal vulnerability in screen example
- Add path validation using filepath.Clean and containment checks
- Affected file: v3/examples/screen/main.go

## Rollup XSS Vulnerability (Semgrep)
- Update rollup from 3.28.0 to 3.29.5
- Fixes CVE-2024-47068 (Cross-site Scripting)
- Affected file: v3/examples/dev/frontend/package-lock.json

Note: The setup wizard command injection alert was reviewed and determined
to be a false positive - commands originate from backend package manager
detection, not user input. Added clarifying documentation.

@leaanthony leaanthony force-pushed the fix/security-issues-bundle branch from 99f8c2e to 228e574 Compare January 21, 2026 19:29
This commit addresses a critical security issue identified by CodeRabbit
where the sudo flag-skipping logic could be bypassed to execute arbitrary
commands (e.g., "sudo -u apt bash -c malicious_command").

Changes:
- Add allowedCommands whitelist for package managers
- Add allowedSudoCommands whitelist for commands after sudo/pkexec/doas
- Implement isCommandAllowed() with secure validation that rejects
  any sudo invocation with flags before the command
- Add comprehensive test cases including bypass attack scenarios

The fix follows CodeRabbit's recommendation to not attempt parsing
sudo flags, instead requiring the package manager to immediately
follow the privilege escalation command.

Add #nosec G304 directives to suppress false positive warnings from
gosec/CodeQL on the path traversal fix. The path is validated to be
within assetsDir before use via strings.HasPrefix check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Refactor whitelist validation to use getSafeCommand() which returns
  safe command names from a static lookup table instead of user input
- This allows CodeQL to trace that executed commands come from a
  known-safe whitelist rather than tainted user input
- Add comprehensive tests for the new getSafeCommand function
- Add lgtm[go/path-injection] comments for CodeQL suppression on the
  example file where paths are properly validated
