Hardened colab-cli against path traversal vulnerabilities, symlink hijacking, and insecure file permissions during sandbox operations and promotion log writes.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 10660059733914151466 started by @timerloggedout-spec

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Sandbox commands now reject names containing path traversal characters.
    • Promotion no longer overwrites an existing non-symlink latest path.
    • Promotion logging now uses restricted directory and file permissions.
    • Promotion stops safely when the log file is a symlink, preventing unintended file changes.

- Validate sandbox_name parameter against path traversal (.. / \\) across start, stop, and promote CLI commands in colab-cli/bin/colab.
- Prevent symlink hijacking when writing promotion logs or updating production 'latest' symlink.
- Enforce strict 0o700 directory and 0o600 file permissions on log files.
- Add comprehensive unit tests in tests/test_colab_cli_security.py.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs.


For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-732 — Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource

Enforce log permissions before writing and fail closed on errors.

log_dir.chmod(0o700) failures are ignored, so the command can write to a directory without the required restriction. open(log_file, "a") creates a new file with its default creation mode, and the existing file mode is enforced only after the record is written. If that later chmod(0o600) fails, the record has already been written.

Set the directory mode before opening the log. Create the file with mode 0o600, enforce that mode for existing files before writing,

2. Prefer minimal diffs; preserve Sentinel 0o600/0o700 if those files are touched.

4. If conflicts with base exist, resolve them.
5. CodeRabbit native AutoFix, fix-CI, and conflict actions are not inferred from this feedback. They require the separate trusted command-library dispatch, live SHA, and explicit branch-write confirmation.
6. Skip pure nits by default. Always address issues affecting security or required gates with minimal, independently validated fixes.
7. **Non-empty diff required** — empty commits are rejected.

**Reachability:** External

**CWE:** [CWE-59](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/59.html)

**Abort when `log_dir` is a symlink.**

This branch only skips `chmod` and continues. If `BASE_DIR/logs` is a symlink to an attacker-controlled directory containing a normal `promotions.log`, the file check passes and `open()` appends there.

Exit when `log_dir.is_symlink()` is true before constructing `log_file`. Based on learnings: log writers must reject symlinked path components.

**Path Traversal**

**Reachability:** External  
**Exploitability:** Moderate  
**CWE:** [CWE-22](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/22.html) — Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

**Reject `.` as a sandbox name.**

`"."` passes this check. `start` then uses the workspace root as the sandbox directory. `promote` copies the entire workspace root instead of one sandbox.

Reject `.` before constructing either path. Based on learnings: identifier validation must block traversal components without unnecessarily restricting safe names.

**Path Traversal**

**Reachability:** External  
**Exploitability:** Difficult  
**CWE:** [CWE-59](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/59.html)

**Use no-follow file creation for `promotions.log`.**

`is_symlink()` and `open()` are separate operations. A same-UID attacker can replace `promotions.log` with a symlink after this check and before `open()` follows it.

Open the file with `os.open(..., os.O_NOFOLLOW | os.O_APPEND | os.O_CREAT, 0o600)` and wrap its descriptor with `os.fdopen()`. Based on learnings: symlink rejection alone does not close this substitution race.

**Run rejection checks before promotion state changes.**

If `latest` is a regular path, `copytree` has already created `target` before this exit. Retrying the same version then fails because the target exists. If `promotions.log` is a symlink, `latest` has already changed before the log check exits.

Preflight both paths before `copytree`, or roll back all earlier state on failure.
