Security & Stability Patch — 46 Issues Resolved

Full-stack security audit of the Electron-based CodeMotion IDE. All findings have been patched and the TypeScript build passes cleanly (tsc exit 0).

Severity Summary

Severity Count Key Areas
🔴 Critical 10 RCE, path traversal, SSRF, sandbox escape, plaintext JWT
🟠 High 14 Race conditions, memory leaks, IPC listener leaks, wrong file paths
🟡 Medium 12 Missing guards, CSP, MIME types, hard-coded ports
🟢 Low 10 Naming, compare stability, raw Error returns, missing Content-Type

Critical Fixes

  1. Path Traversal in Extension Sandbox — Added resolveSandboxPath() in app/sandbox/tools.js to validate that every file path stays within the extension directory. Applied across all permission handlers that read files.
  2. Terminal RCEcmd is now validated (must be string, max 5000 chars, trimmed). stdin input is coerced with String(input ?? '').
  3. Arbitrary Python Execution — Introduced a block-list regex in runtimeHandler.ts that rejects dangerous patterns (__import__, os, subprocess, socket, open(, exec(, eval(, etc.) before writing to a temp file.
  4. Live Server Path Traversal — Resolved path is now checked against root; requests escaping the root receive 403 Forbidden.
  5. Extension SSRFfetch in extensions now blocks private IP ranges (localhost, 127.*, 10.*, 192.168.*, etc.) and non-http(s) protocols.
  6. Extension Window Sandbox EscapeBrowserWindow created by extensions now enforces contextIsolation: true, nodeIntegration: false, sandbox: true. URL hostnames are validated against a strict regex.
  7. Sandbox Template Injection — Replaced vm.runInContext string interpolation with vm.Script(...).runInContext(..., { timeout: 5000 }). Back-tick characters in extension code are rejected. Removed Map from the sandbox object.
  8. IPC File OperationsfilesWork.ts now enforces a workspace-root guard via guardPath(). read-file also validates the resolved path stays within parentPath.
  9. JWT in PlaintextsaveToken/loadToken in auth.js now use Electron safeStorage to encrypt/decrypt the JWT. Legacy plaintext fallback is preserved for existing files.

High Fixes

  • Notifications: Removed removeAllListeners("notification-close"); each notification registers its own closeHandler scoped to its window.
  • Diagnostics Race Condition: Replaced scalar pending resolver with a Map<number, PendingEntry> queue. Worker responses include the request id.
  • Debugger Listener Leak: debugger-data listener moved to module scope (registered once). debuggerWindow is now explicitly declared.
  • Splash Preload: Created a dedicated minimal preload (splash-preload.js) exposing only close, setNonAccountMode, reload, and onStatusUpdate.
  • Global Keyboard Listener: Added keyboardListener reference; v.removeListener() is called on window close, before-quit, and window-all-closed. Added isDestroyed() guard.
  • getPython Race: Added resolved flag to ignore duplicate exec callbacks.
  • Debugger runExtension Exposure: Removed runExtension from debuggerWindow/preload.js entirely.
  • Extension Quit: window.close now shows a confirmation dialog before calling app.quit().
  • open-in-browser Validation: Restricted to http: and https: schemes only.
  • Atomic local.json Writes: set-non-account-mode now writes to a temp file and renames atomically.

Medium & Low Fixes

  • MIME Types: Live Server now serves files with proper Content-Type headers.
  • Dynamic Ports: Live Server attempts ports 3000–3010 instead of hard-coding 3000/3001.
  • CSP: Added Content-Security-Policy meta tag to notification.html.
  • Notification Image Sanitization: img.src now only accepts URLs starting with http:/https:.
  • Extension Event Scoping: onFileOpened listeners are now tracked per-extension in a Map.
  • Deep Freeze: Sandbox API object is now recursively frozen.
  • Stack Trace Sanitization: evalmachine.<anonymous> lines are filtered from extension error output.
  • Misc Cleanups: getAppIcon async removed, isPackaged misleading variable removed, organizations.ts catches now stringify errors, api.ts returns safe error messages, py?.kill() used instead of py!.kill(), sort comparator stabilized with || 0 fallback, notification script moved inside <body>.

Checklist

  • npm run build passes (tsc exit code 0)
  • No new dependencies introduced
  • Legacy data formats remain compatible (JWT plaintext fallback, worker message format)

…base

This patch resolves all findings from the full-stack security audit.
Severity breakdown:
- 10 Critical (RCE, path traversal, SSRF, sandbox escape, plaintext JWT)
- 14 High (race conditions, memory leaks, IPC listener leaks, wrong file writes)
- 12 Medium (missing guards, CSP, MIME types, hard-coded ports)
- 10 Low (naming, compare stability, raw Error returns, missing Content-Type)

Key changes:
- sandbox: add resolveSandboxPath guard to prevent extension path traversal
- terminal: validate cmd type/length before spawning shell
- python runtime: block-list dangerous imports and builtins before execution
- live-server: path traversal guard, dynamic port selection, MIME mapping
- extensions: block private IPs in fetch, enforce contextIsolation/nodeIntegration
- sandbox: replace vm.runInContext string interpolation with vm.Script + timeout
- IPC filesWork: workspace root guard for all file operations
- auth: encrypt JWT with safeStorage, atomic local.json writes
- notifications: per-window closeHandler instead of removeAllListeners
- diagnostics: Map-based request-ID queue instead of single resolver
- splash: dedicated minimal preload instead of full editor preload
- debugger: deduplicate debugger-data listener, remove runExtension exposure

Build passes (tsc clean).

A quick review of the PR revealed the following:

  • The splash screen isn't behaving as it should in the original: the splash screen content is empty, with only “CodeMotion” at the top

Also, due to the large amount of code and new AI features, the PR will take a very long time to review, and it's not certain that it will be accepted. In any case, thanks for your work!
