🚀 Thanks for opening this pull request! We appreciate your effort in improving the project. Please let us know once your pull request is ready for review.

Tip

  • Keep pull requests small. Large PRs will be rejected. Break complex features into smaller, incremental PRs.
  • Use Test Driven Development. Write failing tests before implementing functionality. Ensure tests pass.
  • Group code into logical blocks. Add a short comment before each block to explain its purpose.
  • We offer conceptual guidance. Coding is up to you. PRs must be merge-ready for human review.
  • Our review focuses on concept, not quality. PRs with code issues will be rejected. Use an AI agent.
  • Human review time is precious. Avoid review ping-pong. Inspect and test your AI-generated code.

Note

Please respond to review comments from AI agents just like you would to comments from a human reviewer. Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect.

Caution

Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement. Our CI and AI review are safeguards, not development tools. If many issues are flagged, rethink your development approach. Invest more effort in planning and design rather than using review cycles to fix low-quality code.

📝 Walkthrough

RestWrite now validates dot-notation paths before and after beforeSave triggers. It rejects traversal through inherited members or SDK-decoded object prototypes with INVALID_KEY_NAME. Regression tests cover rejected paths and valid writes.

Changes: Dot-notation write protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path validation
src/RestWrite.js
The validator checks stored containers and values supplied by ancestor writes, including array-operation contents. It rejects prohibited prototype traversal with INVALID_KEY_NAME.
Write pipeline integration
src/RestWrite.js
RestWrite.execute validates paths before beforeSave trigger mutations. runBeforeSaveTrigger validates paths again after trigger mutations.
Regression coverage
spec/vulnerabilities.spec.js
Tests cover rejected traversal across creates, updates, triggers, LiveQuery, stored and replaced containers, arrays, operation objects, dates, pointers, SDK values, and sibling paths. They also verify valid writes, request settlement, primitive-parent type validation, and unchanged shared prototypes.

Priority: ⬆️ High

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Full details: Security Check

Explanation

No new security vulnerability is evident. RestWrite.execute validates dot-notation paths before triggers, and runBeforeSaveTrigger validates again after trigger mutations. The validator checks own properties, inherited members, SDK-decoded instances, stored values, and overlapping request writes. It rejects prohibited paths with INVALID_KEY_NAME. The added GHSA regression tests cover object, array, date, pointer, operation, LiveQuery, trigger, and prototype-pollution cases.

Full details: Engage In Review Feedback

Explanation

The posted review thread was engaged, marked resolved, and explicitly addressed in commit 2f72edd. The PR includes validation for inherited array members and regression tests for data.list.push.call. The current review reports zero actionable findings.

Assert the stored array after the update.

This test checks only that the PUT returns 200. The update response can succeed without proving that [9, 2] was stored. Fetch the object and assert the persisted value.
