Security Fix: Prevent Path Traversal in Cloud Deployment File Bundling [CWE-22]

Automated Remediation by Railo — Deterministic AST Code Transformations & Formal Verification.

---

🛡️ Vulnerability Details

• Classification: Path Traversal (CWE-22 / OWASP Top 10 A01:2021-Broken Access Control)
• Target File: src/bentoml/_internal/cloud/deployment.py (Functions _build_requirements_txt and _build_post_setup_script)
• Causal Sink: os.path.join(bento_dir, filename) and os.path.join(bento_dir, config.docker.setup_script) directly read and bundled files into the cloud deployment archive without verifying that the resolved path is strictly contained within bento_dir.

🔧 Summary of Changes

Railo applied a deterministic Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) rewrite using LibCST:

1. Injected strict canonical directory containment verification using os.path.commonpath and os.path.realpath.
2. Rejects malicious relative path traversal sequences (e.g., ../../secret.txt) and absolute path overrides with a descriptive BentoMLException.
3. Added unit tests in tests/unit/_internal/cloud/test_deployment.py to continuously assert containment and prevent regressions.

 def _build_requirements_txt(bento_dir: str, image: Image | None) -> bytes:
     config = BentoBuildConfig.from_bento_dir(bento_dir)
     filename = config.python.requirements_txt
     content = b""
-    if filename and os.path.exists(fullpath := os.path.join(bento_dir, filename)):
-        with open(fullpath, "rb") as f:
-            content = f.read().rstrip(b"\n") + b"\n"
+    if filename:
+        fullpath = os.path.join(bento_dir, filename)
+        if os.path.commonpath([os.path.realpath(fullpath), os.path.realpath(bento_dir)]) != os.path.realpath(bento_dir):
+            raise BentoMLException(
+                f"Path traversal detected: requirements.txt path '{filename}' is outside of bento directory '{bento_dir}'"
+            )
+        if os.path.exists(fullpath):
+            with open(fullpath, "rb") as f:
+                content = f.read().rstrip(b"\n") + b"\n"

💡 Why Deterministic AST over Generative AI?

This fix was generated by rule-based concrete syntax tree mutation, not an LLM. No hallucinated dependencies, no broken scopes, no non-deterministic changes.
