Summary
AI summaryapply_spec hooks no longer run with shell=True, preventing arbitrary shell injection.
Full changelog
v2.54.5
Reliability + security hardening from the exhaustive reliability audit (Wave A).
Security
apply_spechooks no longer run withshell=True. A spec's hook command is now
shlex-split and executed without a shell, so a hook string can't inject
arbitrary shell (; rm -rf …, pipes, expansion). Hooks needing shell features
must invoke an interpreter explicitly (e.g.bash -c "…").
Fixed
- The confirm-token table is now guarded by a lock. The control panel is threaded,
so issue/consume/GC ran concurrently; validate-then-pop is now atomic and GC
can't race a write. - Negative item indices are rejected instead of silently returning the wrong item
(_get_item, audio item resolver, the two timeline-matte helpers). - History queries clamp
limitto[1, 1000]— SQLite treats a negativeLIMIT
as "no limit", so a negative value could silently fetch the whole table.
timeline_versioningversion/limit/keep_n params are validated (no unhandled
ValueError;rollbackrejects negative versions before archiving). The relink
file search clampsmax_files/max_secondspositive. - The server-reachable ffmpeg probes (render/audio/review) pass
timeout=120, so a
hung ffmpeg can't block the server indefinitely.
Validation
- Full offline unit/static suite green (1264 tests; new
tests/test_exhaustive_wave_a.py).
All changes are defensive guards on invalid input or internal concurrency — no
behavior change for valid inputs and no Resolve mutation semantics changed, so no
live run required.
Deferred to a live-validated follow-up
- Confirm-token gating + version-on-mutate archiving for catastrophic media-pool /
take / Fusion-comp deletes (a destructive-action registry name mismatch currently
bypasses governance), and temp-directory lifecycle cleanup.
Security Fixes
- `apply_spec` hooks now split command strings with shlex and execute without a shell, eliminating arbitrary shell injection vulnerability (e.g., `; rm -rf …`). Hooks requiring shell features must invoke an interpreter explicitly (e.g., `bash -c "…"`).
