I did not notice that these went to the wrong location in
https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/6693. They should be in the
dataflow folder with the rest of the data-flow configurations files, the
injection folder is for old points-to based modeling.
- also update `validTest.py`, but commented out for now
otherwise CI will fail until we force it to run with Python 3.10
- added debug utility for dataflow (`dataflowTestPaths.ql`)
- new syntactic category `Pattern` (in `Patterns.qll`)
- subpatterns available on statments
- new statements `MatchStmt` and `Case`
(`Match` would conflict with the shared ReDoS library)
- new expression `Guard`
- support for pattern lists
I've added 2 queries:
- one that detects full SSRF, where an attacker can control the full URL,
which is always bad
- and one for partial SSRF, where an attacker can control parts of an
URL (such as the path, query parameters, or fragment), which is not a
big problem in many cases (but might still be exploitable)
full SSRF should run by default, and partial SSRF should not (but makes
it easy to see the other results).
Some elements of the full SSRF queries needs a bit more polishing, like
being able to detect `"https://" + user_input` is in fact controlling
the full URL.
I think `getUrl` is a bit too misleading, since from the name, I would
only ever expect ONE result for one request being made.
`getAUrlPart` captures that there could be multiple results, and that
they might not constitute a whole URl.
Which is the same naming I used when I tried to model this a long time ago
a80860cdc6/python/ql/lib/semmle/python/web/Http.qll (L102-L111)
For the snippet below, our current query is able to show _why_ we
consider `var` to be a falsey value that would disable SSL/TLS
verification. I'm not sure we're going to need the part that Ruby did,
for being able to specify _where_ the verification was removed, but
we'll see.
```
requests.get(url, verify=var)
```
