Finding

The approved FFmpeg/FFprobe subprocesses parse media that can originate from staged product inputs, but three audio_library.py input paths did not set FFmpeg's input -protocol_whitelist. FFmpeg enables supported protocols by default; its official protocol documentation defines protocol_whitelist as a comma-separated allow-list for input protocols. This is therefore a real network-protocol admission gap at the media parser boundary.

Current evidence does not establish Local File Inclusion remediation: file remains intentionally allowed. It also does not by itself prove a remotely exploitable SSRF path for every media format. The bounded claim is that untrusted media parsing must not be permitted to open network protocols such as HTTP/TCP/UDP through these three subprocess builders.

Primary reference: FFmpeg Protocols Documentation, protocol_whitelist input option: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-protocols.html

Current exact repair

  • protected/base: main@47c6fd27de13b0da37a7db64697b869941909351
  • exact head: 6e371b9c9e6e3f72b9be6cb5949d77dbed24e19f
  • audio_duration_seconds: FFprobe receives -protocol_whitelist file,crypto,data immediately before its input URL/path;
  • decode_audio_for_mlx: FFmpeg receives the same whitelist immediately before -i, including the existing /dev/fd/<n> descriptor-bound path through the file protocol;
  • detect_silence_intervals: FFmpeg receives the same whitelist immediately before -i;
  • tests/test_audio_library.py pins the MLX decode command shape;
  • tests/test_ffmpeg_protocol_whitelist_contract.py executes the duration and silence builders with mocked approved binaries, verifies the exact {file, crypto, data} allow-list, verifies network protocols are absent, and checks placement immediately before the relevant input.

FFmpeg documents crypto as a wrapper protocol (crypto:URL / crypto+URL). The explicit whitelist remains authoritative for allowed protocol names; HTTP/HTTPS/TCP/UDP and other network protocols are not admitted by this command contract. This PR does not claim that file protects against local-file access.

Intervening-delta repair

The generated branch also changed httpx2 from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0. That was unrelated to the media parser boundary and conflicted with canonical dependency owner #558, which removes the unused vulnerable httpx2 contract entirely. Ordinary descendant c6d35a65b8589c7cc908534781e49b320202885a restored pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, and requirements-lock.txt to the protected-base blobs; no force/rebase was used. This PR no longer owns dependency resolution.

The existing Sentinel note was corrected rather than expanded: it now says the whitelist narrows network-protocol/SSRF exposure and explicitly records that allowing file does not remediate LFI.

RED → GREEN / verification boundary

Protected main is the executable predecessor for the missing-whitelist RED obligation. This lane did not manufacture a separate hosted RED commit after production had already been generated, so no hosted RED is claimed. The current tests make removal or broadening of the whitelist fail at the command-construction boundary.

Fresh workflows were generated for exact head 6e371b9c...; at the latest read CI/fuzz/CodeQL were queued and Security/SAST were queued or in progress. Predecessor results do not transfer. Keep Draft until this unchanged head has terminal applicable repository/security gates and qualifying independent current-head review.

A stronger acceptance step remains desirable before promotion: run a right-cleared hostile media fixture that attempts a network protocol and prove the approved FFmpeg/FFprobe process rejects it without outbound access while ordinary local media still succeeds. Do not substitute a synthetic timing/result claim for that integration evidence.

No force push, destructive rebase, self-approval, dependency-owner duplication, gate weakening, scanner suppression, or source-neutral retrigger.

현재 exact head e9a69c6f4d3f0b105eb3346391c1160770927243을 다시 검토한 결과 Ready 상태는 이릅니다.

  1. FFmpeg 공식 문서상 protocol_whitelistinput protocol option이고, pipe는 입력에서 기본적으로 stdin(0)을 읽을 수 있으며 fd도 읽기 시 기본 fd가 stdin입니다. 현재 audio_library.py의 세 호출은 입력을 일반 경로 또는 /dev/fd/<verified descriptor>로 넘기므로 입력 허용목록에 pipe/fd를 둘 근거가 현재 diff·test에 없습니다. 최소 권한 acceptance는 기존 media_shrinker.py와 같은 file,crypto,data부터 검증하고, 실제 필요 프로토콜만 테스트 근거로 추가하는 것입니다.
  2. 더 중요하게, file protocol을 허용하는 것만으로 LFI가 해결됐다고 주장할 수 없습니다. 공식 문서 그대로 file은 로컬 파일을 읽는 프로토콜입니다. 공격자가 HLS/playlist 같은 nested input을 조종할 수 있는 경로가 있다면 네트워크 SSRF는 줄여도 임의 로컬 참조 가능성은 별도 검증이 필요합니다. PR 제목/본문과 .jules/sentinel.md의 “SSRF/LFI fix / safe local protocols” 표현은 현재 evidence보다 강합니다.
  3. exact-head opencode-review도 실패 상태입니다. source가 unchanged인데 문구만으로 완료 처리하지 않습니다.

수리 기준: (a) 세 input call site의 최소 protocol allowlist를 실제 I/O contract로 검증, (b) pipe:0/fd가 untrusted nested input에서 열리지 않는 regression, (c) LFI를 주장하려면 attacker-controlled playlist가 arbitrary local path를 열지 못한다는 realistic regression 또는 sandbox/path-confinement evidence, 그렇지 않으면 scope를 SSRF/network-protocol hardening으로 축소, (d) generated Sentinel doctrine도 동일 근거 수준으로 수정, (e) unchanged exact head의 unit/security/SAST/CodeQL 및 독립 리뷰 GREEN. 그때까지 Draft를 유지합니다.

근거: FFmpeg Protocols 문서는 protocol_whitelist를 input option으로 정의하고, pipe가 stdin/stdout fd를 직접 사용하며 fd가 descriptor I/O를 제공한다고 명시합니다.

@jules 현재 exact head e9a69c6f4d3f0b105eb3346391c1160770927243을 ordinary-forward로 수리해 주세요. 기존 valid delta는 보존하되 다음 범위만 처리합니다.

  • audio_duration_seconds, decode_audio_for_mlx, detect_silence_intervals의 input-side -protocol_whitelist를 실제 I/O 계약상 필요한 최소 집합으로 줄이세요. 현재 세 호출의 입력은 일반 file path 또는 이미 검증·pass_fds 처리된 /dev/fd/<n> path이므로 pipe/fd를 allowlist에 둘 근거가 없습니다. 우선 repository의 기존 media_shrinker 경계와 동일한 file,crypto,data를 사용하고, 추가 프로토콜은 realistic regression으로 필요성을 입증하는 경우에만 허용하세요.
  • RED regression을 먼저 추가해 세 call site 모두 file,crypto,data를 정확히 사용하고 pipe/fd가 allowlist에 없음을 고정하세요. 단순 문자열 한 곳 검사가 아니라 각 command builder 경계를 검증하세요.
  • PR 제목/본문과 .jules/sentinel.mdSSRF/LFI fix, safe local protocols 같은 과도한 주장은 축소하세요. FFmpeg 공식 문서상 file 자체가 local file access protocol이므로 현재 변경은 network-protocol/SSRF surface hardening이지 LFI 종결 증거가 아닙니다. LFI 해결을 계속 주장하려면 attacker-controlled playlist/nested input이 arbitrary local path를 열지 못한다는 실제 FFmpeg regression 또는 별도 sandbox/path-confinement evidence가 필요합니다.
  • unrelated source/dependency/workflow 변경은 넣지 마세요. force-push/rebase 없이 현재 head의 ordinary child로 올리고 exact-head unit/security/SAST/CodeQL 결과를 남기세요.

공식 FFmpeg 문서 기준으로 protocol_whitelist는 input option이며 pipe는 stdin을, fd도 read 기본값으로 stdin descriptor를 사용할 수 있습니다. file은 명시적으로 local file read protocol입니다.

Fresh current-head review of 6fddce8ab1696e02d9bb6ffa326e4af29074f9d8: protocol allowlist narrowed correctly to file,crypto,data and the LFI caveat is now explicit, but this descendant introduced an unrelated dependency delta (httpx2 2.5.0 -> 2.6.0 in pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, requirements-lock.txt). That dependency/security surface is already canonically owned by #558, which removes unused httpx2 entirely after exact Trivy evidence. #562 must not fork that ownership or pin an intermediate vulnerable/obsolete version.

@jules ordinary-forward repair only:

  • restore those three dependency files to exact protected main@47c6fd27de13b0da37a7db64697b869941909351 blobs; do not copy fix(security): remove unused vulnerable httpx2 dependency #558 mutable head and do not create a second dependency policy;
  • retain the file,crypto,data source change;
  • add focused regressions for all three input command builders asserting the exact -protocol_whitelist file,crypto,data placement before -i/input and explicit absence of http, https, tcp, udp, pipe, fd from the allowlist. Existing index-shift assertions are insufficient as a security contract;
  • keep the scope as network-protocol/SSRF hardening. file remains local-file-capable, so LFI is still not closed by this PR;
  • .jules/sentinel.md should not create an unqualified repository-wide ‘safe protocols’ doctrine. If canonical protected text did not already own this rule, prefer source/test contract plus PR evidence; at minimum preserve the explicit LFI limitation.

After the dependency blobs are restored and focused regression exists, provide fresh compare and exact-head CI/Security/SAST/CodeQL. Draft remains correct.

말씀하신 피드백을 반영하여 file,crypto,data 프로토콜만 허용하도록 -protocol_whitelist를 업데이트하였고, LFI 대신 SSRF (네트워크 프로토콜 강화)로 Scope를 축소하는 내용을 .jules/sentinel.md 저널에 기록했습니다. 또한 테스트가 하드코딩된 -i 인덱스에 의존하지 않고 안전한 프로토콜 화이트리스트가 적용되었는지 명시적으로 확인하도록 관련 테스트를 추가/업데이트했습니다. 현재 CodeQL scan이 dispatch 되어 결과를 기다리고 있습니다.
