    🐇
    Security’s the word, we rabbits decree,
    Paths are now safe, and SQL’s squeaky clean.
    Shells are forbidden, our code’s on a leash,
    URLs inspected before we unleash.
    With every hop, we’re harder to breach—
    A warren of safety, in code we teach!

    Summary of Changes

    Hello @MervinPraison, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

    This pull request focuses on addressing a suite of critical security vulnerabilities across various utility modules. The changes harden the system against common attack vectors such as SQL injection, path traversal, command injection, and SSRF, while also implementing a more secure sandboxed environment for Python code execution. The primary goal is to significantly improve the overall security posture of the application's toolset.

    Highlights

    • SQL Injection Prevention: Implemented robust SQL injection prevention in duckdb_tools.py by introducing a _validate_identifier method for sanitizing table and column names, and by utilizing parameterized queries for all data and identifier interactions.
    • Path Traversal Protection: Added comprehensive path traversal protection in file_tools.py by introducing a _validate_path static method. This method normalizes and validates all file and directory paths before any file system operations are performed, preventing access to unauthorized locations.
    • Sandboxed Python Execution: Enhanced python_tools.py to provide a more secure sandboxed execution environment. This was achieved by explicitly defining a safe_builtins dictionary to restrict dangerous built-in functions and by adding a pre-execution check to scan the input code for known dangerous patterns.
    • Command Injection Mitigation: Addressed command injection vulnerabilities in shell_tools.py by removing the shell parameter from the execute_command function and explicitly setting shell=False in all subprocess.Popen calls. Commands are now always safely split using shlex.
    • SSRF Protection: Introduced Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) protection in spider_tools.py with the addition of a _validate_url method. This method rigorously checks URLs for safe schemes, valid hostnames, and blocks access to local, private, and suspicious internal network addresses before making any HTTP requests.

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 4 🔵🔵🔵🔵⚪
    🧪 No relevant tests
    🔒 Security concerns

    Incomplete security implementations:
    While the PR addresses major security vulnerabilities, several implementations have potential weaknesses. The SQL injection prevention uses sqlite_master which may not work correctly with DuckDB. The Python sandbox can potentially be bypassed through object introspection or encoded strings. The path traversal protection lacks proper boundary enforcement and could be circumvented with symbolic links or other filesystem features. The SSRF protection doesn't handle all edge cases like IPv6 addresses or domain redirects.

    ⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

    SQL Injection Risk

    The parameterized query implementation uses sqlite_master table which may not exist in DuckDB. The table existence check and column type validation regex may have edge cases that could be exploited.

    exists = conn.execute("""
        SELECT name FROM sqlite_master 
        WHERE type='table' AND name=?
    """, [table_name]).fetchone() is not None
    Sandbox Bypass

    The dangerous pattern matching uses simple string matching which could be bypassed with obfuscation techniques. The safe_builtins approach may still allow access to dangerous functionality through object introspection.

    dangerous_patterns = [
        '__import__', 'import ', 'from ', 'exec', 'eval', 
        'compile', 'open(', 'file(', 'input(', 'raw_input',
        '__subclasses__', '__bases__', '__globals__', '__code__',
        '__class__', 'globals(', 'locals(', 'vars('
    ]

    for pattern in dangerous_patterns:
        if pattern.lower() in code_lower:
            return {
                'result': None,
                'stdout': '',
                'stderr': f'Security Error: Code contains restricted pattern: {pattern}',
                'success': False
            }
    Path Validation

    The path validation only checks for basic patterns but doesn't enforce boundaries or validate against a whitelist of allowed directories. The normpath and abspath operations may not prevent all traversal attacks.

    if '..' in filepath or filepath.startswith('~'):
        raise ValueError(f"Suspicious path pattern detected: {filepath}")

    Bug: Security Check Overly Restrictive, Easily Bypassed

    The new security check in execute_code uses simple substring matching for dangerous patterns, making it both overly restrictive and easily bypassable. It causes false positives by rejecting legitimate code containing patterns like 'import ', 'from ', or 'open(' in comments, strings, or variable names (e.g., "important_data", "reopen(file)"). This exact string matching is also easily circumvented by using alternative whitespace (e.g., import\tos) or formatting, rendering the security ineffective against determined attackers.

    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/python_tools.py#L119-L135

    # Security check: validate code doesn't contain dangerous patterns
    dangerous_patterns = [
    '__import__', 'import ', 'from ', 'exec', 'eval',
    'compile', 'open(', 'file(', 'input(', 'raw_input',
    '__subclasses__', '__bases__', '__globals__', '__code__',
    '__class__', 'globals(', 'locals(', 'vars('
    ]
    code_lower = code.lower()
    for pattern in dangerous_patterns:

    'stdout': '',
    'stderr': f'Security Error: Code contains restricted pattern: {pattern}',
    'success': False
    }

    Bug: Path Validation Flaws Enable Traversal

    The _validate_path method, intended for path traversal prevention, has two flaws:

    1. The if '..' in filepath check is overly broad, incorrectly rejecting legitimate filenames containing '..' (e.g., "file..txt") instead of specifically checking for path traversal sequences like ../ or ..\\.
    2. It only validates the original input path for suspicious patterns. While it converts the path to an absolute path, it critically fails to validate that this resolved absolute path remains within an expected safe directory. This allows an attacker to bypass the .. check by providing an absolute path (e.g., /etc/passwd), leading to a path traversal vulnerability.

    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/file_tools.py#L24-L48

    @staticmethod
    def _validate_path(filepath: str) -> str:
    """
    Validate and normalize a file path to prevent path traversal attacks.
    Args:

    Returns:
    str: Normalized absolute path
    Raises:
    ValueError: If path contains suspicious patterns
    """
    # Normalize the path
    normalized = os.path.normpath(filepath)
    absolute = os.path.abspath(normalized)
    # Check for suspicious patterns
    if '..' in filepath or filepath.startswith('~'):
    raise ValueError(f"Suspicious path pattern detected: {filepath}")
    # Additional check: ensure the resolved path doesn't escape expected boundaries
    # This is a basic check - in production, you'd want to define allowed directories

    Code Review

    This pull request introduces security fixes addressing command injection, SQL injection, path traversal, SSRF, and unsafe code execution vulnerabilities. The path traversal fix in file_tools.py still allows access to arbitrary files via absolute paths. The SSRF protection in spider_tools.py is vulnerable to bypass via HTTP redirects. The SQL type validation in duckdb_tools.py is a bit too strict and might reject valid types.

    The regex for validating column types is too restrictive. It doesn't allow for spaces within the parentheses, which is common for types like DECIMAL(10, 2). This will cause a ValueError for valid schema definitions.

    The regex should be updated to accommodate optional whitespace.

    The current path validation logic in _validate_path is an improvement but is not sufficient to prevent all path traversal attacks. An attacker can still access any file on the filesystem by providing an absolute path (e.g., /etc/passwd), as the check only looks for .. and ~ in the path string.

    A more robust approach is to define a safe base directory and ensure that the resolved absolute path of any file operation is within that directory. This would prevent the tool from accessing unintended files outside its designated workspace.

    agent_workspace = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())
    
    if os.path.isabs(filepath):
        raise ValueError(f"Absolute paths are not permitted: {filepath}")
    
    full_path = os.path.normpath(os.path.join(agent_workspace, filepath))
    
    if not full_path.startswith(agent_workspace):
        raise ValueError(f"Path traversal attempt detected: {filepath}")
    
    return full_path

    The URL validation is a great step towards preventing Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). However, it can be bypassed if the initial, valid URL returns an HTTP redirect to a malicious or internal URL. The requests library follows redirects by default, and the validation is not performed on subsequent URLs in a redirect chain.

    To fix this, you should disable automatic redirects in your session.get() call (allow_redirects=False) and handle them manually in a loop, validating each new URL before making the next request. You should also limit the number of redirects to prevent infinite loops.

    73-76: Simplify the return statement.

    The static analysis tool correctly identified that this can be simplified by returning the negated condition directly.

    Apply this simplification:

    -            # Block metadata service endpoints
    -            if hostname in ['169.254.169.254', 'metadata.google.internal']:
    -                return False
    -            
    -            return True
    +            # Block metadata service endpoints
    +            return hostname not in ['169.254.169.254', 'metadata.google.internal']
    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/duckdb_tools.py (1)

    173-174: Column type validation may be too restrictive.

    The regex pattern for column types is very strict and might reject valid DuckDB types like DECIMAL(10,2) or VARCHAR(255).

    Consider a more flexible pattern:

    -                        if not re.match(r'^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*(\([0-9,]+\))?$', col_type.upper()):
    +                        if not re.match(r'^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*(\([0-9,\s]+\))?(\s+[A-Z]+)*$', col_type.upper()):

    This allows for spaces in precision/scale and additional type modifiers.

    59-66: LGTM! Excellent security improvement.

    The platform-specific command splitting using shlex.split with appropriate posix flags is well-implemented. This correctly handles quote parsing differences between Windows and Unix-like systems while preventing command injection.


    79-79: Security enhancement implemented correctly.

    Hardcoding shell=False effectively prevents command injection vulnerabilities by ensuring commands are never executed through a shell interpreter.

    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/file_tools.py (1)

    63-65: Path validation integration looks good.

    The integration of path validation into file operations is correctly implemented and will effectively prevent path traversal attacks when the validation logic is fixed.

    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/spider_tools.py (2)

    30-79: Excellent SSRF protection implementation.

    The URL validation covers comprehensive attack vectors including private IP ranges, localhost variants, metadata services, and internal domains. This significantly enhances security against SSRF attacks.


    124-127: URL validation integration is secure.

    The early validation check in scrape_page effectively prevents SSRF attacks by blocking dangerous URLs before any network requests.

    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/python_tools.py (2)

    52-107: Sandboxing implementation provides good baseline security.

    The restricted builtins dictionary effectively limits available functions and disables dangerous operations. The explicit None assignments for dangerous functions prevent their use.


    153-157: Security concern: eval() usage in sandboxed environment.

    The use of eval() for extracting expression values could potentially be exploited, even with restricted builtins.

    Consider replacing this with safer alternatives or additional validation:

    -                        result = eval(
    -                            compile(ast.Expression(tree.body[-1].value), '<string>', 'eval'),
    -                            globals_dict,
    -                            locals_dict
    -                        )
    +                        # Safer approach: get the value from locals after execution
    +                        if hasattr(tree.body[-1].value, 'id'):
    +                            var_name = tree.body[-1].value.id
    +                            result = locals_dict.get(var_name)
    +                        else:
    +                            result = None
    src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/duckdb_tools.py (2)

    34-51: SQL identifier validation implementation is secure.

    The regex pattern correctly validates identifier format and the quoting approach safely handles reserved words and special characters.


    186-191: Parameterized queries effectively prevent SQL injection.

    The use of parameterized queries for file paths and validated identifiers for table names provides robust protection against SQL injection attacks.

    🛠️ Refactor suggestion

    Enhance boundary validation for production use.

    The current implementation lacks enforcement of allowed directory boundaries, which is critical for preventing unauthorized file access.

    Consider implementing a more robust boundary check:

    +        # Define allowed base directories (configure as needed)
    +        allowed_bases = [os.getcwd(), '/tmp', '/var/tmp']  # Example
    +        
             # Additional check: ensure the resolved path doesn't escape expected boundaries
    -        # This is a basic check - in production, you'd want to define allowed directories
    +        if not any(absolute.startswith(base) for base in allowed_bases):
    +            raise ValueError(f"Path outside allowed directories: {filepath}")

    ⚠️ Potential issue

    Fix path validation logic to prevent bypass.

    The suspicious pattern check is performed on the original filepath before normalization, which could miss path traversal attempts that become apparent only after normalization.

    Apply this fix to check patterns after normalization:

    -        # Check for suspicious patterns
    -        if '..' in filepath or filepath.startswith('~'):
    -            raise ValueError(f"Suspicious path pattern detected: {filepath}")
    +        # Check for suspicious patterns in normalized path

    Improve dangerous pattern detection accuracy.

    The current pattern detection has some issues that could lead to false positives or bypasses:

    1. Mixed case sensitivity handling
