* fix(workflows): validate run_id in RunState.load before touching the filesystem
``RunState.load(run_id, project_root)`` interpolates ``run_id`` directly
into ``project_root / ".specify" / "workflows" / "runs" / run_id`` and
then calls ``state_path.exists()`` and ``json.load`` on the result. The
run_id is reachable from user input via ``specify workflow resume
<run_id>`` (CLI argument) and via ``SPECKIT_WORKFLOW_RUN_ID`` (env var
override on the engine's run path), so a value like ``../escape``
turns ``runs_dir`` into ``.specify/workflows/escape/`` and:
* ``state_path.exists()`` becomes a file-existence oracle for any
path the process can read.
* if a ``state.json`` exists at the traversed location (planted by
a malicious dependency, a misconfigured shared workspace, or an
older spec-kit version that happened to write there),
``json.load`` parses it and the workflow resumes under the
attacker-chosen ``workflow_id`` / step state.
* a subsequent ``state.save()`` then writes back to the traversed
location, persisting the corruption.
``RunState.__init__`` already validates ``run_id`` against
``r'^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$'`` — but that check runs on
``state_data["run_id"]`` *after* ``load`` has already done the file
lookup, which is too late to prevent the disclosure.
This change extracts the pattern into a class-level constant
``_RUN_ID_PATTERN`` and a single ``_validate_run_id`` classmethod so
``__init__`` and ``load`` cannot drift, then calls the validator at the
top of ``load`` before any path is built. Mirrors the precedent in
``src/specify_cli/agents.py::_ensure_within_directory`` (used at line
437 of that file) which guards extension-install paths against the
same threat model.
Regression tests parametrize 9 traversal vectors (``../escape``,
``..``, ``../../etc/passwd``, ``foo/bar``, ``foo\bar``, ``.hidden``,
``-flag``, ``foo\x00bar``, empty) and plant a malicious ``state.json``
outside ``runs/`` so a missing guard would surface as a successful
load rather than the ambiguous ``FileNotFoundError``. A second test
asserts ``__init__`` and ``load`` reject the same representative
malformed ID, so future changes to one path can't silently drift from
the other.
* test(workflows): exercise RunState.load in shared-validation test, fix __init__ empty-string asymmetry
Copilot's review on this PR pointed out that
test_init_and_load_share_validation claimed to verify both entry
points share the same validation rules but never actually called
RunState.load — only __init__ and the shared
_validate_run_id helper. A regression in load (e.g. someone
deleting the cls._validate_run_id(run_id) call before the path is
built) would slip through even though __init__ and the helper
stayed aligned, defeating the whole point of the test.
Tightening the test surfaced a real asymmetry the previous version was
silently masking:
self.run_id = run_id or str(uuid.uuid4())[:8]
The truthiness fallback meant RunState(run_id="") silently
substituted a UUID and skipped validation, while
RunState.load("", project_root) correctly rejected the empty
string. The two entry points diverged on the empty-string vector.
That is exactly the drift the test name claimed to defend against —
and the original test missed it.
Changes
-------
* engine.py: __init__ now distinguishes run_id is None
(caller omitted it → auto-generate UUID) from an empty string
(caller provided it → must validate like any other value). Both
paths still flow through _validate_run_id, but only the
explicit-None case auto-generates.
* test_workflows.py: test_init_and_load_share_validation is
now parametrized over one representative vector per category from
test_load_rejects_path_traversal (parent traversal, embedded
separator, leading non-alphanumeric, empty string) and asserts that
*all three* entry points — __init__, _validate_run_id, and
load — reject the same input. Adding load to the assertion
is the substantive fix Copilot asked for; keeping __init__ and
the helper alongside it makes any future drift between the three
immediately observable instead of having to read three separate
tests.
Verification
------------
pytest tests/test_workflows.py — 168 passed (was 165 before the
parametrize expansion; __init__ empty-string vector would have
failed the new test against the old engine code, confirming the
asymmetry was real).
