fix-forward #3938 (tsk-zgkahd): hard gh refusal still bypassed by clustered short flags (exec -la NAME, sudo -Eu USER) and chroot --userspec/--groups with a separate value - #3939
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:

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.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a hard
ghrefusal bypass through clustered short flags (exec -la NAME,sudo -Eu USER) and chroot options with a separate value. The raw summary and objectives confirm that the changeset adds wrapper-option parsing for these cases, along withenv -Sand fail-closed handling inmain(). The title is long (171 characters, 25 words) and uses a ticket reference and a 'fix-forward' prefix, so it is not concise. It still describes a real and primary part of the change, so it passes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
-
Explanation
[
#3938] Three objectives apply. Source at head 3ccb080 confirms each one.-
chroot root operand: In commands(), the check
if wrapper == "chroot" and wrapper_skip_root:runs before theif name in WRAPPER_PROGRAMS:check. A root such as/tmp/timeoutis consumed as the root operand and is not treated as the timeout wrapper. -
exec -a NAME:
_WRAPPER_OPTS_WITH_VALUE["exec"]is{"-a"}. The exec branch in the wrapper block skips-a NAME(tok == "-a", sets skip_next) and the attached-aNAMEform. -
env -S / --split-string: The
-S,--split-string,-S<text>, and--split-string=<text>forms set env_split_string_pending or split the attached text. The split string is parsed with a recursive commands() call and its keys are added. A split string that contains$or a backslash, or that fails to parse, adds theenv -Skey. refusal() refuses that key.
Additional items in the PR description are also present: clustered short flags through
_WRAPPER_SHORT_OPTS_WITH_VALUE(for exampleexec -la,sudo -Eu), and chroot--userspecand--groupswith a separate value through_WRAPPER_OPTS_WITH_VALUE["chroot"]. Tracing the code shows thatchroot --userspec root:root /tmp/x g""h pr mergeyields theghkey, and so does thesudo -Eu rootandexec -laform.Limitation: The diff of tests/test_claude_code_shell_profile.py could not be read because its changed blobs are missing from the checkout. Test coverage for these objectives is therefore not verified from source. The PASS rests on source tracing of tinyagentos/claude_code_guard.py, which does not depend on the test file.
-
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
-
Explanation
The guard changes relate to the wrapper-parsing objectives of
#3938and the stated card scope:- WRAPPER_PROGRAMS, the value-option tables, and the short-option tables support wrapper-aware parsing for the exec, chroot, and env -S fixes.
- The refusal() parsed-key check (
gh,git push,env -S) implements the hard refusal that the bypass fixes protect. - The main() try/except that returns exit 2 is not one of the
#3938items. It is a fail-closed hardening that matches the module docstring ("unreadable input is refused too (fail closed)"). It is treated as related, not unrelated. - One hunk moves a
continueinto thefor i, ch in enumerate(tok[1:])loop in the uniq short-cluster branch (near line 280). This is not part of the objectives. Its behavior is unchanged: a non-matching loop falls through to the same outercontinue, and abreakleads to the same result. It is a cleanup candidate, not a demonstrated behavior change.
The changelog entries describe the same changes. The test file diff could not be read, so test changes are not checked for scope. No change was shown to be unrelated to the linked objectives.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftFix trailing operands after
env -Sso the guard parses them with the split words.GNU
env -Sruns the words from the split string, then appends the remaining command-line operands. The guard does not model this, and the gap leads to a bypass as well as the over-refusal.
- Attached form, over-refusal. For
env -S'echo' g""h, the split words are parsed by a nestedcommands()call. Theenvwrapper state stays set, soghis recorded as a program key (tinyagentos/claude_code_guard.py:386, then:409-416).refusal()refuses it (:468).envrunsecho gh, so the refusal is not needed. Plainecho g""his not refused.- Attached form, bypass. For
env -S'git' p""ush, the keys areenv,git,push.refusal()checks for the exact keygit push(:468). The raw-text check needs the literalpush(:39), and this command does not contain it. The command is allowed, andenvrunsgit push.- Separate form, bypass. For
env -S 'git' p""ush, the-Soperand setsskip_nextandenv_split_string_pending(:364-366). The split branch at:205-217does not clearskip_next. The operandpushis then consumed as a skipped value. The keys areenvandgit, so the command is allowed, andenvrunsgit push.A plain
env -S'git' pushis refused by the raw-text check. The bypass needs an obfuscatedpushoperand.Clearing the wrapper state alone does not fix this.
pushwould become a bare key, notgit push, and the refusal would still miss it. The fix is one correction: the split words and the remaining operands must form one command stream. Lex the split string into the token sequence in place of the-Soperand, so the remaining operands follow its words.gitthen sets the subcommand state, andpushrecordsgit push. The separate-formskip_nextleak should be removed in the same change. Keep the existing fail-closed checks for$, backslashes, and parse failures on the split string. Add tests forenv -S'git' p""ush, the separate form, andenv -S'echo' g""h, which should be allowed.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

the existing attached-form cases.
- Around line 525-529: Update test_main_fails_closed_on_exception to capture
stderr with pytest’s capsys fixture and assert that the captured stderr is
non-empty after main returns 2. Do not assert a specific message such as
REFUSAL.

Refuse a quote-split gh after clustered env options.
env -iu FOO g""h pr merge is allowed. The raw _GH check matches only the unquoted word gh, so it does not match g""h. The command parser never records gh either. It treats -iu as a generic option and takes FOO as the program. gh then falls through as an argument. The recorded keys are [env, FOO], so refusal() returns None. GNU env reads -iu FOO as -i -u FOO, so the shell runs gh pr merge.
The literal form env -iu FOO gh pr merge is already refused by the raw check. The bypass requires the quote split.
This gap predates the PR. The base refusal() used only the raw _GH match, so the quote-split form was also allowed at the merge base. The parsed-key check added here refuses gh only when the parser records it. It does not cover this path. This is incomplete hardening of an existing gap, not a new bypass introduced by this change.
Without a shell profile, no other check applies. With a profile, FOO is treated as undecided and refused. An allowed name in that position, such as env -iu <allowed-name> g""h ..., still passes.
Add an env entry with u and C to the clustered-value table. Do not add S. The cluster check runs before the env -S handler, and an S cluster would consume the split string. The "S" in tok guard keeps S clusters on the existing handler.

Review comment at @tinyagentos/claude_code_guard.py around lines 27 - 31: Update _WRAPPER_SHORT_OPTS_WITH_VALUE so clustered env options recognize u and C as taking values, allowing the parser to identify the command after env -iu FOO.
