From 4ed208e74b582abec9c362d28c296fa990057014 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Boucher Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 14:38:38 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix(#1615): validate commandName to prevent workflow prompt injection MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Codex peer review of PR #1622 surfaced that convertClaudeCommandToWindsurfWorkflow interpolated commandName unsanitized into a markdown body that Windsurf loads as an LLM-readable workflow. A plugin author who controls a commands/gsd/*.md filename could inject newlines, markdown structure, or path components (..) to manipulate the workflow body. Validate commandName at function entry against /^(?:gsd-)?[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?$/ — rejects slashes, backslashes, spaces, dots, control chars, trailing dash. Pattern requires alphanumeric ending so gsd- alone (which would slice to empty stem) is also rejected. Throws with a JSON.stringify-escaped preview (no literal newlines in the error message). Applied to both bin/install.js (where tests import from) and src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts (production source). 18 positive + 22 negative test cases lock in the validation. --- bin/install.js | 14 +++++ src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts | 14 +++++ tests/windsurf-conversion.test.cjs | 80 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 108 insertions(+) diff --git a/bin/install.js b/bin/install.js index b054b5091..6a4efe8d1 100755 --- a/bin/install.js +++ b/bin/install.js @@ -2523,6 +2523,20 @@ function convertClaudeCommandToWindsurfSkill(content, skillName) { } function convertClaudeCommandToWindsurfWorkflow(content, commandName) { + // #1615 security: commandName flows unsanitized into a markdown body that + // Windsurf loads as an LLM-readable workflow.
