fix-forward #3934 (tsk-3siko5): hard gh refusal bypassed by chroot root operand, exec -a NAME, and env -S split strings (3 CodeRabbit security findings, measured on head d183ed709) - #3938
Conversation
…-closed main
### Fixed
- Wrapper programs (env, nice, nohup, timeout, xargs, sudo, doas, exec, command, builtin, time, stdbuf, setsid, ionice, chroot, busybox) no longer hide the real program in the shell profile: the wrapper's key is recorded and the wrapped program is also checked.
- Hard refusal for gh and git push now also applies to parsed command keys, catching escapes like g""h pr list and 'gh' pr list.
- The hook's main() now fails closed on any exception: it prints the refusal to stderr and exits with code 2.
RED-PROOF:

- Skip option values in wrapper context before generic option skip
- chroot skips its root directory operand like timeout skips duration
- Hard refusal now sees gh behind wrapper option values

1. chroot root operand: when the root path basename matches a wrapper
program (e.g. /tmp/timeout -> timeout), it was mistakenly treated as a
new wrapper. Fix: consume the root operand before the WRAPPER_PROGRAMS
check when wrapper==chroot and wrapper_skip_root is set.
2. exec -a NAME: exec was not in _WRAPPER_OPTS_WITH_VALUE, so -a value
was not skipped. Fix: add exec:-a to the table and handle -aNAME
attached form like sudo -uuser.
3. env -S/--split-string: the split string was skipped as an option value
but not parsed for nested commands. Fix: recursively run commands() on
the split string and add its keys; fail closed (add env -S sentinel)
when the string contains $, backslash, or fails to parse.

Lead review: PASS with a carded residue (head dfe31e4)Measured with the real hook payload dict through
All three carded bypasses are closed, benign wrapper forms stay allowed, and the red fence names the three tests that ship in the diff. Test file 39/39 locally. Residue of the SAME class, pre-existing on base and dev, still allowed on this head (so not a regression): clustered short flags ending in a value-taking letter, and chroot long options with a separate value: Carded as tsk-r3knpi (fix-forward, BASE exec/tsk-zgkahd, RED-FIRST, parametrized tests). |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winName the failure in the fail-closed handler. Do not report a GitHub refusal.
The new
except Exceptionblock attinyagentos/claude_code_guard.py:477-480blocks every unexpected error. It prints onlyREFUSAL, which says the agent may not rungit pushorgh. An internal failure, such as an exception from rule loading, then looks like a policy refusal. Nothing else records the exception type or message. For a benign command such asls, the user and the operator see the GitHub-policy text, and the cause is lost.The block still returns exit code 2, so fail-closed behavior is kept. Only the message is wrong. The handler should name the failure and state that it is not a policy refusal:
Suggested fix

Parse sudo -p and chroot --userspec value operands so the gh block sees the real program.
commands() skips only the value options that sudo, doas, and chroot already list. -p (sudo) and --userspec (chroot) are not in those lists. The following word is then taken as the program, so the real program is ignored as an argument. Quote removal makes g""h the token gh, which avoids the raw-text regex.
Traces:
sudo -p masked g""h pr mergegives the keyssudoandmasked. Noghkey is added, sorefusal()returnsNone.chroot --userspec root:root / g""h pr mergegives the keyschrootand/. Theroot:rootword is consumed as the root directory, soghis missed.
The sudo path runs gh only if sudo authorizes the call without a password prompt. The chroot path needs root privilege. The hard gh block is still bypassed in both cases. The existing tests cover sudo -u and chroot ROOT, but not these two options.
Fix: add the value options to _WRAPPER_OPTS_WITH_VALUE. The sudo branch falls through to that check for tokens it does not handle itself.
Suggested fix
-
"exec": frozenset({"-a"}), + "sudo": frozenset({"-p", "--prompt"}), + "chroot": frozenset({"--userspec", "--groups"}), }
Audit the other sudo options that take a value, such as -r, -t, -T, -U, -D, and -R, against sudo(8) in the same change. This edit covers only -p. Add regression cases next to the existing chroot bypass test in tests/test_claude_code_shell_profile.py.

Clear skip_next in the new env -S split-string branch.
The branch at tinyagentos/claude_code_guard.py:196-208 consumes the split string, then runs continue while skip_next is still True. The next token is then discarded. For env -S 'FOO=bar' g""h pr merge, the parser returns ["env", "pr"] and omits gh. refusal() then allows the command, even though it runs gh pr merge.
This applies when the hook runs without --rules, which is the case when shell_rules is None (tinyagentos/claude_code_runtime.py:132-139). When a shell profile is configured, profile_refusal refuses pr as an undecided program. That refusal is not a gh block, and it does not stop this bypass for a profile that allows pr.

Split env -S attached values drop the pending wrapper, so gh passes the hard refusal.
For env -Stimeout 60 g""h pr merge, the outer parser never records gh as a program. The -S branch parses timeout in a separate commands() call, adds only its returned keys, and leaves the outer wrapper set to env. The next token, 60, clears that state and becomes a program key. gh then arrives while expect is false, so it is skipped as an argument. The recorded keys are env, timeout, and 60. refusal() matches none of them.
The bypass scope depends on --rules:
- Without
--rules, no profile gate applies. The command runs once the hard refusal passes. - With
--rules,profile_refusal()refuses undecided keys and queues them as asks. The command runs only after the user allowsenv,timeout, and60. The production route passes rules on every turn.
Remedy direction: in the split-string sub-call only, report failure when the parse ends with a wrapper that still needs an operand. The outer env branch then adds env -S, which refusal() blocks. Do not change the return value of the top-level commands(). refusal() skips its key checks when the value is None, and profile_refusal() treats None as unparseable. Add a regression test for env -Stimeout 60 g""h pr merge.
Detail: which gate is bypassed
-
refusal()is the hard block. It applies whether or not--rulesis present. The profile is a user-consent gate. This bypass defeats the hard block. With--rules, the impact depends on the user allowingenv,timeout, and60.

CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): fix-forward #3934 (tsk-3siko5): hard gh refusal bypassed by chroot root operand, exec -a NAME, and env -S split strings (3 CodeRabbit security findings, measured on head d183ed7)
Autonomous build of board card tsk-zgkahd.
REVISION: built on
exec/tsk-3siko5(cut atd183ed709d9f7cffc604c6c7dda6ffe15d1c253b), not ondev. That branch'scommits are ancestors of this one. Verified by
git merge-base --is-ancestorbefore the PR was opened.
Fix three hard-refusal bypasses in claude_code_guard.py
chroot root operand: when the root path basename matches a wrapper
program (e.g. /tmp/timeout -> timeout), it was mistakenly treated as a
new wrapper. Fix: consume the root operand before the WRAPPER_PROGRAMS
check when wrapper==chroot and wrapper_skip_root is set.
exec -a NAME: exec was not in _WRAPPER_OPTS_WITH_VALUE, so -a value
was not skipped. Fix: add exec:-a to the table and handle -aNAME
attached form like sudo -uuser.
env -S/--split-string: the split string was skipped as an option value
but not parsed for nested commands. Fix: recursively run commands() on
the split string and add its keys; fail closed (add env -S sentinel)
when the string contains $, backslash, or fails to parse.
RED-PROOF (failing tests before fix):
