From 2f119fbd95809d3ba26a946d44ccdde71c255aca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Miller Date: Sun, 5 Jul 2026 15:06:57 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): code scanner panics at startup on RE2-incompatible regexp MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The "deserialize-yaml-py" rule in services/security/code_scanner.go used a negative lookahead `(?!\s*#)` in regexp.MustCompile. Go's regexp engine is RE2, which has no lookahead/lookbehind, so MustCompile panics during the package init() — crash-looping the entire server at startup. `go build` and `go vet` do not execute init(), and CI never boots the binary, so this shipped to main via #552 undetected; the running instances survived only because they predate that image. Replace the pattern with an RE2-safe equivalent `(?i)yaml\.load\s*\(`, which matches the rule's stated intent (flag yaml.load() without SafeLoader, CWE-502). Add a regression test that forces the package init and asserts every DefaultCodeRules pattern compiled, so a future RE2-incompatible pattern fails in CI here instead of on a live deploy.
