| // **Mitigation: Selective Mounting** | ||
| // **Mitigation: Granular Selective Mounting (FIXED)** | ||
| // | ||
| // Instead of mounting the entire filesystem (/:/host:rw), we: | ||
| // 1. Mount ONLY directories needed for legitimate operation | ||
| // 2. Hide credential files by mounting /dev/null over them | ||
| // 3. Provide escape hatch (--allow-full-filesystem-access) for edge cases | ||
| // Instead of mounting the entire $HOME directory (which contained credentials), we now: | ||
| // 1. Mount ONLY the workspace directory ($GITHUB_WORKSPACE or cwd) | ||
| // 2. Mount ~/.copilot/logs separately for Copilot CLI logging | ||
| // 3. Hide credential files by mounting /dev/null over them (defense-in-depth) | ||
| // 4. Provide escape hatch (--allow-full-filesystem-access) for edge cases | ||
| // 5. Allow users to add specific mounts via --mount flag | ||
| // | ||
| // This defense-in-depth approach ensures that even if prompt injection succeeds, | ||
| // the attacker cannot access credentials because they're simply not mounted. | ||
| // This ensures that credential files in $HOME are never mounted, making them | ||
| // inaccessible even if prompt injection succeeds. | ||
| // | ||
| // **Implementation Details** | ||
| // | ||
| // Normal mode (without --enable-chroot): | ||
| // - Mount: $HOME (for workspace, including $GITHUB_WORKSPACE when it resides under $HOME), /tmp, ~/.copilot/logs | ||
| // - Hide: credential files (Docker, NPM, Cargo, Composer, GitHub CLI, SSH keys, AWS, Azure, GCP, k8s) | ||
| // - Mount: $GITHUB_WORKSPACE (or cwd), /tmp, ~/.copilot/logs | ||
| // - Hide: credential files via /dev/null overlays (defense-in-depth) | ||
| // - Does NOT mount: entire $HOME directory | ||
| // | ||
| // Chroot mode (with --enable-chroot): | ||
| // - Mount: $HOME at /host$HOME (for chroot environment), system paths at /host | ||
| // - Hide: Same credentials at /host paths | ||
| // - Mount: $GITHUB_WORKSPACE at /host path, system paths at /host | ||
| // - Hide: Same credentials at /host paths (defense-in-depth) | ||
| // - Does NOT mount: entire /host$HOME directory | ||
| // | ||
| // **Previous Vulnerability (FIXED)** | ||
| // | ||
| // The previous implementation mounted the entire $HOME directory and relied solely | ||
| // on /dev/null overlays to hide credentials. This had several problems: | ||
| // - Overlays only work if the credential file exists on the host | ||
| // - Non-standard credential locations were not protected | ||
| // - Any new credential files would be accessible by default | ||
| // - Subdirectories with credentials were fully accessible | ||
| // | ||
| // The fix eliminates the root cause by never mounting $HOME at all. | ||
| // | ||

This section claims
cat ~/.docker/config.jsonwill fail with "No such file or directory" because$HOMEisn't mounted, but the implementation still adds explicit/dev/nullvolume mounts for these credential paths in normal mode. With those mounts, the file exists andcatwill succeed with empty output (exit code 0). Please update the documented behavior to match the actual/dev/nulloverlay approach (or adjust the implementation if the goal is a hard "not found").This issue also appears on line 275 of the same file.
