Phase 1 Track 1.1: Fix path traversal, download sanitization, XPath injection by richard-devbot · Pull Request #26 · CursorTouch/Operator-Use

richard-devbot · 2026-03-30T17:29:38Z

Summary

Fixes [Phase 1.1.1] Fix path traversal vulnerability in resolve() #14 (CWE-22): Path traversal in resolve() -- replaced unchecked path.resolve() with is_relative_to() boundary enforcement. Absolute and ../ traversals outside the workspace now raise PermissionError.
Fixes [Phase 1.1.2] Sanitize file download filenames and URLs #15 (CWE-22/CWE-20): Download URL/filename sanitization -- added _validate_download() helper that enforces http/https-only schemes, strips path components from filenames, and verifies the resolved target stays inside the downloads directory.
Fixes [Phase 1.1.3] Fix XPath injection in browser service #16 (CWE-643): XPath injection in browser service -- replaced inline xpath.replace('"', '\\"') with _escape_xpath() that escapes backslash, double-quote, single-quote, backtick, and template literal ${ to prevent JS string breakout.

1. ~~Path traversal tests incomplete~~ ☑ 📎 Requirement gap ⛨ Security

Description

tests/security/test_path_traversal.py does not cover required vectors like symlink escapes,
unicode paths, or null bytes. This leaves key CWE-22 bypass scenarios untested despite the
compliance requirement to validate them.

Code

Evidence
PR Compliance ID 1 requires security tests covering symlinks, unicode, and null bytes. The added
security test file only includes absolute-path blocking, a set of parent-traversal attempts, and
valid-path cases; the helper attempt list also lacks symlink/unicode/null-byte cases.

2. Download path traversal still possible 📎 Requirement gap ⛨ Security

Description

The download flow validates a sanitized basename but then writes the file using the original
filename, enabling traversal like ../evil. Additionally, a maximum download size is declared but
never enforced, allowing disk-exhaustion downloads.

Code

operator_use/web/tools/browser.py[R328-336]

       if not filename:
           return ToolResult.error_result("filename is required for download.")
       folder_path = Path(browser.config.downloads_dir)
+            _err = _validate_download(url or "", filename or "", folder_path)
+            if _err:
+                return ToolResult.error_result(_err)
       async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
           response = await client.get(url)
           response.raise_for_status()

Evidence
PR Compliance ID 3 requires filename sanitization, containment enforcement, and size limits. The
code calls _validate_download(...) but then saves to path = folder_path / filename (original
untrusted value), and downloads the full body via response.content without any
_MAX_DOWNLOAD_SIZE/Content-Length enforcement.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The download action is still vulnerable to path traversal because it writes using the original `filename` after validating only the basename, and it does not enforce the declared `_MAX_DOWNLOAD_SIZE`.
## Issue Context
Compliance requires:
- http/https-only URL schemes
- traversal-safe filenames (use `os.path.basename`, reject `..` / path separators)
- final resolved destination contained within downloads dir
- maximum download size enforcement (default 100MB) using Content-Length preflight and/or streaming byte-count abort

3. ~~XPath lacks syntax validation~~ ☑ 📎 Requirement gap ⛨ Security

Description

XPath strings are still interpolated into JavaScript document.evaluate(...) without any XPath
syntax validation step prior to execution. This fails the compliance requirement to validate XPath
inputs in addition to escaping.

Code

operator_use/web/browser/service.py[R954-958]

async def scroll_into_view(self, xpath: str):
-        escaped = xpath.replace('"', '\\"')
+        escaped = _escape_xpath(xpath)
   await self.execute_script(
       f'(function(){{'
       f'  var el = document.evaluate("{escaped}", document, null, 8, null).singleNodeValue;'

Evidence
PR Compliance ID 2 requires XPath inputs to be escaped/parameterized and validated before execution.
The updated code escapes and then directly interpolates the (unvalidated) XPath into JavaScript
evaluation calls.

4. Windows clear command failure 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

subprocess.run(['cls']) will raise FileNotFoundError on Windows because cls is not an
executable, breaking restart animation and TUI screen clearing. The same pattern can also raise on
non-Windows hosts where clear is not installed.

Code

operator_use/agent/tools/builtin/control_center.py[135]
+    subprocess.run(["cls"] if os.name == "nt" else ["clear"], check=False)

Evidence

Both _do_restart() and clear_screen() invoke subprocess.run([...], check=False) with ['cls']
on Windows. check=False only suppresses non-zero exit status exceptions; it does not prevent
FileNotFoundError when the command cannot be spawned, so these call sites can crash rather than
simply failing to clear the screen.

operator_use/agent/tools/builtin/control_center.py[123-147]
operator_use/cli/tui.py[93-99]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
On Windows, `cls` is a shell built-in, so `subprocess.run(["cls"])` can’t spawn it and raises `FileNotFoundError`. This breaks the restart countdown and the TUI clear-screen logic.
### Issue Context
These call sites are intended to be best-effort screen clearing; failures should be non-fatal.
### Fix Focus Areas
- operator_use/agent/tools/builtin/control_center.py[123-147]
- operator_use/cli/tui.py[93-99]
### Suggested change
- Use a shell invocation on Windows, e.g.:
- `subprocess.run("cls", shell=True, check=False)`
- or `subprocess.run(["cmd", "/c", "cls"], check=False)`
- For non-Windows, either keep `console.clear()`-style approaches where available or wrap `subprocess.run(["clear"], ...)` in `try/except FileNotFoundError` so missing `clear` doesn’t crash.

Response to Qodo Review — PR #26

✅ Fixed

Download path traversal + missing size limit

browser.py: download case now uses os.path.basename(filename) (sanitized name) not raw filename when writing the file
Preflight HEAD request checks Content-Length before download; post-download body size check added; 100MB limit enforced in both paths

XPath syntax validation

service.py: added _validate_xpath() — rejects empty strings, null bytes, and expressions >2000 chars
Called at all 4 _escape_xpath() call sites before interpolation

Path traversal tests — symlink, unicode, null byte vectors

helpers.py: make_traversal_attempts() extended with null bytes, unicode dots, Windows-style separators
test_path_traversal.py: added test_resolve_blocks_symlink_escape (symlink outside workspace raises PermissionError) and test_resolve_handles_null_bytes (null bytes raise ValueError from OS)
All 5 traversal tests pass

Comprehensive design document covering 5 phases (76 issues): - Phase 0: CI/CD, test infrastructure, AI principles framework - Phase 1: Critical security fixes (path traversal, JS injection, terminal, auth) - Phase 2: AI guardrails & responsible AI (prompt injection, content filtering, ethics) - Phase 3: Performance benchmarks & optimization - Phase 4: Comprehensive QA (unit, e2e, adversarial, fuzzing, CI hardening) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Addresses CWE-78 (OS Command Injection). Both occurrences in control_center.py and tui.py now use subprocess.run() with shell=True, check=False instead of os.system(). Closes CursorTouch#19 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Implements GitHub issues CursorTouch#11 and CursorTouch#12: - AI_PRINCIPLES.md: documents 6 core safety principles (least privilege, human oversight, transparency, containment, privacy by default, fail safe) with a development checklist for pre-merge security review. - operator_use/guardrails/: new module providing ActionPolicy, ContentFilter, PolicyEngine, and RiskLevel abstractions. Includes DefaultPolicy for built-in tool risk classification and CredentialFilter for masking API keys in logs and LLM context. Closes CursorTouch#11, closes CursorTouch#12 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Path traversal vulnerability in resolve() ([Phase 1.1.1] Fix path traversal vulnerability in resolve() #14) — symlink, unicode, null byte vectors all blocked
Download sanitization + 100MB size limit enforced ([Phase 1.1.2] Sanitize file download filenames and URLs #15)
XPath injection fix with syntax validation before escaping ([Phase 1.1.3] Fix XPath injection in browser service #16)

Rebase: uv.lock conflict resolved cleanly. No other conflicts.

Note: this PR can merge independently of #27 and #28 (all three touch different file domains). Ready to land whenever you're able!

BrowserPlugin and ComputerPlugin no longer register hooks to the main agent — subagents manage their own state injection. Test assertions updated accordingly: - Remove stale XML-tag assertions from SYSTEM_PROMPT tests - Fix browser tool name: 'browser' -> 'browser_task' - Update hook tests: register_hooks() is now a no-op for main agent, so assertions verify hooks are NOT wired (not that they are)
