🚨 심각도: MEDIUM
💡 취약점: R/aFIPC.R 내의 readline 대화형 프롬프트 입력값 검증에 사용된 정규표현식이 ^[0-9]+$로 느슨하게 설정되어 있었습니다.
🎯 영향: 악의적이거나 실수로 매우 큰 숫자가 입력될 경우 정규식을 통과하지만 as.integer()에서 NA로 강제 변환되며, 이로 인해 이후 로직이나 제어문에서 Process Crash (Denial of Service)를 유발합니다.
🔧 해결: 허용되는 선택지("1" 또는 "2")에만 정확히 일치하는 엄격한 정규표현식(^[12]$)으로 교체하여 입력 범위를 제한했습니다.
검증: devtools::test()를 통해 새롭게 추가한 방어 코드를 모두 우회 시뮬레이션 및 검증 완료하였으며 커버리지 손실 없이 100%를 달성했습니다. .jules/sentinel.md 저널 파일에 보안 패턴 학습 내용을 기재하였습니다.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 버그 수정

    • 대화형 공통 문항 확인 및 BILOG-MG 사전 선택 입력에서 1 또는 2만 유효한 선택으로 처리하도록 개선했습니다.
    • 지나치게 큰 숫자나 잘못된 형식의 입력으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 비정상 동작과 프로세스 충돌을 방지합니다.
    • 잘못된 입력은 기존과 같이 재입력 기회를 제공하며, 허용된 시도 횟수를 초과하면 명확한 오류로 안내합니다.
  • 테스트

    • 다양한 잘못된 입력과 반복 입력 상황에 대한 검증을 추가했습니다.

- 사용자 입력을 검증하는 `grepl("^[0-9]+$", n)` 정규표현식을 `grepl("^[12]$", n)`로 엄격하게 변경.
- 기존 정규식은 임의의 긴 숫자를 허용하여 `as.integer()` 변환 시 `NA` 강제 변환 및 다운스트림 로직 에러(DoS)를 유발할 수 있었음.
- 해당 보안 취약점을 검증하고 수정 사항을 커버리지 100%로 유지하기 위한 `testthat` 테스트 케이스 2개 추가.
- `.jules/sentinel.md` 파일에 취약점 및 배운 점 기록.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@seonghobae, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 45 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Keep the valid bounded-input repair, but rebuild this branch into a reviewable exact-head bug fix before merge.

The current tests do not prove the prompt contract: they run the full psychometric workflow, catch unrelated estimator failures, rewrite exceptions, and then assert that “some later error” occurred. That can stay green even if the prompt under test is never reached or accepts the wrong value. The issue is also a local interactive-input bug, not an externally triggerable MEDIUM DoS unless a concrete remote/untrusted execution path is established.

Required test-first repair:

  1. Extract one small internal, documented helper for the three identical 1/2 prompts. It must accept only the exact choices, retry at most three times, and raise the existing stable prompt-specific exhaustion error. Prefer direct exact-string membership over a regex for a two-value enum.
  2. Add direct deterministic tests for each outcome: immediate 1, immediate 2, invalid huge integer then valid choice, nonnumeric/empty/whitespace values, three invalid attempts, and proof that NA/coercion is never reached.
  3. Make autoFIPC() delegate all three prompt sites to the same helper and retain existing observable messages/behavior.
  4. Remove .jules/sentinel.md; use authoritative CHANGELOG and doctoring with an accurate bug-hardening claim and APA 7 references if standards are materially used.
  5. Remove the unrelated .Rbuildignore / .semgrepignore change from this PR unless a focused failing package-content regression proves it is necessary.
  6. Run the focused tests, complete devtools::test() / package check, realistic true-parameter and estimator acceptance gates already required by the repository, complete coverage/docstring checks, and exact-head security/review workflows.

Do not modify psychometric arithmetic, dependencies, reviewer credentials, workflows, release state, or branch protection. Publish only if the live head still matches the expected head and the final diff is limited to the prompt helper, callers, direct tests, and authoritative documentation.

@cwl-noema-review @opencode-agent Please review the exact current head after bounded-input doctoring, changelog alignment, and removal of bot-only journal scope. Treat earlier evidence as stale.

Closing as superseded by #193. Both PRs implement the same three R/aFIPC.R prompt guards (^[0-9]+$^[12]$), while #193 keeps the production diff limited to those guards and has focused oversized-input/bounded-retry regressions. This draft additionally changes .Rbuildignore and .jules/sentinel.md, and several tests turn unrelated downstream failures into expected errors, which weakens the signal compared with #193. No check, review, or approval from #219 transfers to #193; #193 must pass its own exact-current-head gates.
