Use tools like `semgrep` with python security rules to actively catch these patterns. +## 2026-04-22 - Arbitrary Code Execution via unvalidated ast.Call in eval() +**Vulnerability:** Found a critical Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) vulnerability in `src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py` where type hints evaluated dynamically via `eval()` allowed generic `ast.Call` nodes. This permitted execution of any callable in the module's global namespace. +**Learning:** When validating AST trees for dynamic type evaluation using `eval()`, allowing generic `ast.Call` nodes introduces severe ACE risks. Attackers can potentially execute unintended functions present in the environment. +**Prevention:** Strictly whitelist allowable function names inside `ast.Call` nodes (e.g., `Depends`, `depends`, `Field`, `PrivateAttr`, `Tag`, `Parameter`) before passing the tree to `eval()`. diff --git a/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py b/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py index 7cd68ce98..28f64c734 100644 --- a/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py +++ b/src/codeweaver/core/di/container.py @@ -84,7 +84,7 @@ def __init__(self) -> None: self._request_cache: dict[Any, Any] = {} # Keys can be types or callables self._providers_loaded: bool = False # Track if auto-discovery has run - def _safe_eval_type(self, type_str: str, globalns: dict[str, Any]) -> Any | None: + def _safe_eval_type(self, type_str: str, globalns: dict[str, Any]) -> Any | None: # noqa: C901 """Safely evaluate a type string using AST validation.
