This prefixes the path with a root, drive, or UNC prefix rather than a leading hyphen, thereby averting the possibility of argument injection. + +## 2025-01-20 - Unbounded Subprocess Calls Cause Denial of Service (DoS) +**Vulnerability:** External binaries (`ffmpeg`, `ffprobe`, `brctl`) were executed using `subprocess.run` without an explicit `timeout`. +**Learning:** FastAPI/Python will wait indefinitely for these subprocesses. If an attacker supplies a malicious file that causes `ffmpeg` or `ffprobe` to hang, or if the external tools simply freeze, the server threads become blocked permanently, exhausting server resources and causing a Denial of Service. +**Prevention:** Always implement an explicit `timeout` parameter and handle `subprocess.TimeoutExpired` exceptions when invoking `subprocess.run`. Tailor the timeout to the expected duration of the binary (e.g., 60s for probes, 3600s for conversions) and ensure resource limits are enforced. Use `# nosec B603` to silence false positive static analysis warnings on secure arrays of arguments. diff --git a/media_shrinker.py b/media_shrinker.py index 7f38dd7..9a412b0 100644 --- a/media_shrinker.py +++ b/media_shrinker.py @@ -465,7 +465,11 @@ def probe_media( "-i", str(Path(source_path).resolve()), ] - completed = subprocess.run(command, check=False, capture_output=True, text=True) + try: + completed = subprocess.run(command, check=False, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=60) # nosec B603 + except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as exc: + raise MediaShrinkerError(f"ffprobe timed out for {source_path} after 60s") from exc + if completed.returncode != 0: raise MediaShrinkerError( f"ffprobe failed for {source_path}: {completed.stderr.strip()}" @@ -518,17 +522,22 @@ def detect_silence_intervals( ) -> list[SilenceInterval]: """Run ffmpeg silencedetect and return paired silence intervals.""" - completed = subprocess.run( - build_silencedetect_command( - source_path, - ffmpeg_path=ffmpeg_path, - silence_noise=silence_noise, - silence_min_duration_seconds=silence_min_duration_seconds, - ), - check=False, - capture_output=True, - text=True, - ) + try: + completed = subprocess.run( + build_silencedetect_command( + source_path, + ffmpeg_path=ffmpeg_path, + silence_noise=silence_noise, + silence_min_duration_seconds=silence_min_duration_seconds, + ), + check=False, + capture_output=True, + text=True, + timeout=3600, + ) # nosec B603 + except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as exc: + raise MediaShrinkerError(f"silencedetect timed out for {source_path} after 3600s") from exc + if completed.returncode != 0: raise MediaShrinkerError( f"silencedetect failed for {source_path}: {completed.stderr.strip()}" @@ -643,12 +652,17 @@ def download_from_icloud(source_path: Path, *, brctl_path: str = "brctl") -> Non raise MediaShrinkerError( f"iCloud download requested but '{brctl_path}' was not found" ) - completed = subprocess.run( - build_icloud_download_command(source_path, brctl_path=brctl_path), - check=False, - capture_output=True, - text=True, - ) + try: + completed = subprocess.run( + build_icloud_download_command(source_path, brctl_path=brctl_path), + check=False, + capture_output=True, + text=True, + timeout=3600, + ) # nosec B603 + except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as exc: + raise MediaShrinkerError(f"iCloud download timed out for {source_path} after 3600s") from exc + if completed.returncode != 0: raise MediaShrinkerError( f"iCloud download failed for {source_path}: {completed.stderr.strip()}" @@ -1586,10 +1600,12 @@ def _execute_plan( ) try: completed = subprocess.run( - command, check=False, capture_output=True, text=True - ) + command, check=False, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=3600 + ) # nosec B603 except FileNotFoundError as exc: raise MediaShrinkerError(f"ffmpeg not found: {ffmpeg_path}") from exc + except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as exc: + raise MediaShrinkerError(f"ffmpeg timed out for {source} after 3600s") from exc if completed.returncode != 0: raise MediaShrinkerError( @@ -1654,12 +1670,16 @@ def _copy_macos_creation_time( creation_date = datetime.fromtimestamp(float(birthtime)).strftime( "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" ) - subprocess.run( - [setfile_path, "-d", creation_date, str(dest.resolve())], - check=False, - capture_output=True, - text=True, - ) + try: + subprocess.run( + [setfile_path, "-d", creation_date, str(dest.resolve())], + check=False, + capture_output=True, + text=True, + timeout=60, + ) # nosec B603 + except subprocess.TimeoutExpired: + pass def _format_result(root: Path, result: ConversionResult) -> str: From 379698ad19ee015f94d785c78a1764dec8f72718 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: seonghobae <8172694+seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 17:42:38 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=9B=A1=EF=B8=8F=20Sentinel:=20[CRITIC?= =?UTF-8?q?AL]=20Fix=20DoS=20vulnerability=20via=20unbounded=20subprocess?= =?UTF-8?q?=20calls?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;
