I had comitted a bad .expected file it seems, and since the encoding for UTF-8
is named differently from Python 2 to Python 3, we're only going to run the test
for one version.
This is basically just a port of the C++/JS queries added in:
- https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/5414 (C++)
- https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/5656 (JS)
SyntaxError should capture all errors we have information about. At least in
`python/ql/src/semmlecode.python.dbscheme` the only match for `error` is
`py_syntax_error_versioned` (which `SyntaxError` is based on).
This PR was rebased on newest main, but was written a long time ago when all the
framework test-files were still in experimental. I have not re-written my local
git-history, since there are MANY updates to those files (and I dare not risk
it).
I introduced a InternalTypeTracking module, since the type-tracking code got so
verbose, that it was impossible to get an overview of the relevant predicates.
(this means the "first" type-tracking predicate that is usually private, cannot
be marked private anymore, since it needs to be exposed in the private module.
For RSA it's unclear what the algorithm name should even be. Signatures based on
RSA private keys with PSS scheme is ok, but with pkcs#1 v1.5 they are
weak/vulnerable. So clearly just putting RSA as the algorithm name is not enough
information...
and that problem is also why I wanted to do this commit separetely (to call
extra atten to this).
I considered using `getInput` like in JS, but things like signature verification
has multiple inputs (message and signature).
Using getAnInput also aligns better with Decoding/Encoding.
This commit does a lot of stuff all at once, so here are the main
highlights:
In `TypeTracker.qll`, we change `StepSummary::step` to step only between
source nodes. Because reads and writes of global variables happen in two
different (jump) steps, this requires the intermediate
`ModuleVariableNode` to _also_ be a `LocalSourceNode`, and we therefore
modify the charpred for that class accordingly. (This also means
changing a few of the tests to account for these new source nodes.)
In addition, we change `TypeTracker::step` to likewise step between
local source nodes.
Next, to enable the use of the `track` convenience method on nodes, we
add some pragmas to `TypeTracker::step` that prevent bad joins from
occurring. With this, we can eliminate all of the manual type tracker
join predicates.
Next, we observe that because `StepSummary::step` now uses `flowsTo`, it
automatically encapsulates all local-flow steps. In particular this
means we do not have to use `typePreservingStep` in `smallstep`, but can
use `jumpStep` directly. A similar observation applies to
`TypeTracker::smallstep`.
Having done this, we no longer need `typePreservingStep`, so we get rid
of it.
The meat of this PR is described in the new python/ql/test/experimental/meta/InlineTaintTest.qll file:
> Defines a InlineExpectationsTest for checking whether any arguments in
> `ensure_tainted` and `ensure_not_tainted` calls are tainted.
>
> Also defines query predicates to ensure that:
> - if any arguments to `ensure_not_tainted` are tainted, their annotation is marked with `SPURIOUS`.
> - if any arguments to `ensure_tainted` are not tainted, their annotation is marked with `MISSING`.
>
> The functionality of this module is tested in `ql/test/experimental/meta/inline-taint-test-demo`.
