2024-04-23std.process.Child: Mitigate arbitrary command execution vulnerability on ↵Ryan Liptak
Windows (BatBadBut) > Note: This first part is mostly a rephrasing of https://flatt.tech/research/posts/batbadbut-you-cant-securely-execute-commands-on-windows/ > See that article for more details On Windows, it is possible to execute `.bat`/`.cmd` scripts via CreateProcessW. When this happens, `CreateProcessW` will (under-the-hood) spawn a `cmd.exe` process with the path to the script and the args like so: cmd.exe /c script.bat arg1 arg2 This is a problem because: - `cmd.exe` has its own, separate, parsing/escaping rules for arguments - Environment variables in arguments will be expanded before the `cmd.exe` parsing rules are applied Together, this means that (1) maliciously constructed arguments can lead to arbitrary command execution via the APIs in `std.process.Child` and (2) escaping according to the rules of `cmd.exe` is not enough on its own. A basic example argv field that reproduces the vulnerability (this will erroneously spawn `calc.exe`): .argv = &.{ "test.bat", "\"&calc.exe" }, And one that takes advantage of environment variable expansion to still spawn calc.exe even if the args are properly escaped for `cmd.exe`: .argv = &.{ "test.bat", "%CMDCMDLINE:~-1%&calc.exe" }, (note: if these spawned e.g. `test.exe` instead of `test.bat`, they wouldn't be vulnerable; it's only `.bat`/`.cmd` scripts that are vulnerable since they go through `cmd.exe`) Zig allows passing `.bat`/`.cmd` scripts as `argv[0]` via `std.process.Child`, so the Zig API is affected by this vulnerability. Note also that Zig will search `PATH` for `.bat`/`.cmd` scripts, so spawning something like `foo` may end up executing `foo.bat` somewhere in the PATH (the PATH searching of Zig matches the behavior of cmd.exe). > Side note to keep in mind: On Windows, the extension is significant in terms of how Windows will try to execute the command. If the extension is not `.bat`/`.cmd`, we know that it will not attempt to be executed as a `.bat`/`.cmd` script (and vice versa). This means that we can just look at the extension to know if we are trying to execute a `.bat`/`.cmd` script. --- This general class of problem has been documented before in 2011 here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/twistylittlepassagesallalike/everyone-quotes-command-line-arguments-the-wrong-way and the course of action it suggests for escaping when executing .bat/.cmd files is: - Escape first using the non-cmd.exe rules - Then escape all cmd.exe 'metacharacters' (`(`, `)`, `%`, `!`, `^`, `"`, `<`, `>`, `&`, and `|`) with `^` However, escaping with ^ on its own is insufficient because it does not stop cmd.exe from expanding environment variables. For example: ``` args.bat %PATH% ``` escaped with ^ (and wrapped in quotes that are also escaped), it *will* stop cmd.exe from expanding `%PATH%`: ``` > args.bat ^"^%PATH^%^" "%PATH%" ``` but it will still try to expand `%PATH^%`: ``` set PATH^^=123 > args.bat ^"^%PATH^%^" "123" ``` The goal is to stop *all* environment variable expansion, so this won't work. Another problem with the ^ approach is that it does not seem to allow all possible command lines to round trip through cmd.exe (as far as I can tell at least). One known example: ``` args.bat ^"\^"key^=value\^"^" ``` where args.bat is: ``` @echo %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ``` will print ``` "\"key value\"" ``` (it will turn the `=` into a space for an unknown reason; other minor variations do roundtrip, e.g. `\^"key^=value\^"`, `^"key^=value^"`, so it's unclear what's going on) It may actually be possible to escape with ^ such that every possible command line round trips correctly, but it's probably not worth the effort to figure it out, since the suggested mitigation for BatBadBut has better roundtripping and leads to less garbled command lines overall. --- Ultimately, the mitigation used here is the same as the one suggested in: https://flatt.tech/research/posts/batbadbut-you-cant-securely-execute-commands-on-windows/ The mitigation steps are reproduced here, noted with one deviation that Zig makes (following Rust's lead): 1. Replace percent sign (%) with %%cd:~,%. 2. Replace the backslash (\) in front of the double quote (") with two backslashes (\\). 3. Replace the double quote (") with two double quotes (""). 4. ~~Remove newline characters (\n).~~ - Instead, `\n`, `\r`, and NUL are disallowed and will trigger `error.InvalidBatchScriptArg` if they are found in `argv`. These three characters do not roundtrip through a `.bat` file and therefore are of dubious/no use. It's unclear to me if `\n` in particular is relevant to the BatBadBut vulnerability (I wasn't able to find a reproduction with \n and the post doesn't mention anything about it except in the suggested mitigation steps); it just seems to act as a 'end of arguments' marker and therefore anything after the `\n` is lost (and same with NUL). `\r` seems to be stripped from the command line arguments when passed through a `.bat`/`.cmd`, so that is also disallowed to ensure that `argv` can always fully roundtrip through `.bat`/`.cmd`. 5. Enclose the argument with double quotes ("). The escaped command line is then run as something like: cmd.exe /d /e:ON /v:OFF /c "foo.bat arg1 arg2" Note: Previously, we would pass `foo.bat arg1 arg2` as the command line and the path to `foo.bat` as the app name and let CreateProcessW handle the `cmd.exe` spawning for us, but because we need to pass `/e:ON` and `/v:OFF` to cmd.exe to ensure the mitigation is effective, that is no longer tenable. Instead, we now get the full path to `cmd.exe` and use that as the app name when executing `.bat`/`.cmd` files. --- A standalone test has also been added that tests two things: 1. Known reproductions of the vulnerability are tested to ensure that they do not reproduce the vulnerability 2. Randomly generated command line arguments roundtrip when passed to a `.bat` file and then are passed from the `.bat` file to a `.exe`. This fuzz test is as thorough as possible--it tests that things like arbitrary Unicode codepoints and unpaired surrogates roundtrip successfully. Note: In order for the `CreateProcessW` -> `.bat` -> `.exe` roundtripping to succeed, the .exe must split the arguments using the post-2008 C runtime argv splitting implementation, see https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/19655 for details on when that change was made in Zig.

2024-02-27Eliminate `error.InvalidHandle` from OpenError and RealPathErrorRyan Liptak
InvalidHandle in OpenError is no longer a possible error on any platform. In the past it was able to be returned in `openOptionsFromFlagsWasi`, but the implementation was changed in 7680c5330cbc9141b9a5444e30c512b6068ab50d to make it no longer possible. InvalidHandle in RealPathError was a holdover from before d5312d53a066092ba9efd687e25b29a87eb6290c, which made realpath a compile error on WASI. However, InvalidHandle was also a possible error in the FreeBSD fallback implementation added in 537624734c4db9e0cdbdc0ebce57375d17172a70. This commit changes the FreeBSD fallback implementation to return FileNotFound instead of InvalidHandle which matches how EBADF is handled in all the other `realpath` implementations (including the FreeBSD non-fallback implementation). Closes #19084
2024-02-24Fix handling of Windows (WTF-16) and WASI (UTF-8) pathsRyan Liptak
Windows paths now use WTF-16 <-> WTF-8 conversion everywhere, which is lossless. Previously, conversion of ill-formed UTF-16 paths would either fail or invoke illegal behavior. WASI paths must be valid UTF-8, and the relevant function calls have been updated to handle the possibility of failure due to paths not being encoded/encodable as valid UTF-8.

2024-01-16child_process: Use security attributes while creating handle.xEgoist
As suggested by @matu3ba, it can be better to use Security Attributes directly while creating the handle instead of creating the handle then setting the handle to inherit. Doing so can prevent potentially leaking to other parallel spawned processes which would inherit the opened `\Device\Null` handle. This change also allows windows.OpenFile to handle when bInheritHandle is set. Note that we are using the same `saAttr`, but since it's taken as a pointer to a const in all calls, it's never mutated, and OpenFile never alters it. This also saves 1 kernel call for setting the handle to inherit.
2024-01-16child_process: Add write access to the null handlexEgoist
This commit allows write access to the `\\Device\\Null` Handle. Without a write access, it's not possible for the child process to write SdOut to Null. As a requirement `SetHandleInformation` was also changed to mark the handle as iheritable (by adding it to Flags) by the spawned process. This allows the child to access the NUL device that was opened. This also makes the Windows part to behave similarly to `spawnPosix`.
2023-12-18More accurate argv-to-command-line serialization when spawning child ↵Carl Åstholm
processes on Windows The old implementation had a bug in it in that it didn't quote empty strings, but it also didn't properly follow the special quoting rules required for the first argument (the executable name).

2023-08-11Windows: Fix `TooManyParentDirs` handling for paths that shouldn't be ↵Ryan Liptak
cwd-relative Previously, a relative path like `..` would: - Attempt to be normalized (i.e. remove . and .. without any path resolution), but would error with TooManyParentDirs - This would make wToPrefixedFileW run it through `RtlGetFullPathName_U` to do the necessary path resolution, but `RtlGetFullPathName_U` always resolves relative paths relative to the CWD Instead, when TooManyParentDirs occurs, we now look up the path of the passed in `dir` (if it's non-null) and append the relative path to it before giving it to `RtlGetFullPathName_U`. If `dir` is null, then we just give it RtlGetFullPathName_U directly and let it resolve it relative to the CWD. Closes #16779

2023-07-27windows.OpenFile/DeleteFile: Add NetworkNotFound as a possible errorRyan Liptak
When calling NtCreateFile with a UNC path, if either `\\server` or `\\server\share` are not found, then the statuses `BAD_NETWORK_PATH` or `BAD_NETWORK_NAME` are returned (respectively). These statuses are not translated into `error.FileNotFound` because they convey more information than the typical FileNotFound error. For example, if you were trying to call `Dir.makePath` with an absolute UNC path like `\\MyServer\MyShare\a\b\c\d`, then knowing that `\\MyServer\MyShare` was not found allows for returning after trying to create the first directory instead of then trying to create `a\b\c`, `a\b`, etc. when it's already known that they will all fail in the same way.
2023-07-23child_process: Fix regression on Windows for FAT filesystemsRyan Liptak
This fixes a regression caused by https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/13993 As an optimization, the first call to `NtQueryDirectoryFile` would only ask for a single result and assume that if the result returned did not match the app_name exactly, then the unappended app_name did not exist. However, this relied on the assumption that the unappended app_name would always be returned first, but that only seems to be the case on NTFS. On FAT filesystems, the order of returned files can be different, which meant that it could assume the unappended file doesn't exist when it actually does. This commit fixes that by fully iterating the wildcard matches via `NtQueryDirectoryFile` and taking note of any unappended/PATHEXT-appended filenames it finds. In practice, this strategy does not introduce a speed regression compared to the previous (buggy) implementation.

2023-05-29Windows: Support UNC, rooted, drive relative, and namespaced/device pathsRyan Liptak
There are many different types of Windows paths, and there are a few different possible namespaces on top of that. Before this commit, NT namespaced paths were somewhat supported, and for Win32 paths (those without a namespace prefix), only relative and drive absolute paths were supported. After this commit, all of the following are supported: - Device namespaced paths (`\\.\`) - Verbatim paths (`\\?\`) - NT-namespaced paths (`\??\`) - Relative paths (`foo`) - Drive-absolute paths (`C:\foo`) - Drive-relative paths (`C:foo`) - Rooted paths (`\foo`) - UNC absolute paths (`\\server\share\foo`) - Root local device paths (`\\.` or `\\?` exactly) Plus: - Any of the path types and namespace types can be mixed and matched together as appropriate. - All of the `std.os.windows.*ToPrefixedFileW` functions will accept any path type, prefixed or not, and do the appropriate thing to convert them to an NT-prefixed path if necessary. This is achieved by making the `std.os.windows.*ToPrefixedFileW` functions behave like `ntdll.RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U`, but with a few differences: - Does not allocate on the heap (this is why we can't use `ntdll.RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U` directly, it does internal heap allocation). - Relative paths are kept as relative unless they contain too many .. components, in which case they are treated as 'drive relative' and resolved against the CWD (this is how it behaved before this commit as well). - Special case device names like COM1, NUL, etc are not handled specially (TODO) - `.` and space are not stripped from the end of relative paths (potential TODO) Most of the non-trivial conversion of non-relative paths is done via `ntdll.RtlGetFullPathName_U`, which AFAIK is used internally by `ntdll.RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U`. Some relevant reading on Windows paths: - https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-definitive-guide-on-win32-to-nt.html - https://chrisdenton.github.io/omnipath/Overview.html Closes #8205 Might close (untested) #12729 Note: - This removes checking for illegal characters in `std.os.windows.sliceToPrefixedFileW`, since the previous solution (iterate the whole string and error if any illegal characters were found) was naive and won't work for all path types. This is further complicated by things like file streams (where `:` is used as a delimiter, e.g. `file.ext:stream_name:$DATA`) and things in the device namespace (where a path like `\\.\GLOBALROOT\??\UNC\localhost\C$\foo` is valid despite the `?`s in the path and is effectively equivalent to `C:\foo`). Truly validating paths is complicated and would need to be tailored to each path type. The illegal character checking being removed may open up users to more instances of hitting `OBJECT_NAME_INVALID => unreachable` when using `fs` APIs. + This is related to https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/15607
