Only after the symbolic cluster is reduced further, move to the taint cluster. +6. Move to `taint_assign_record` / `taint_assign_record1` if the shape-cleaning + fix is stable. --- a/lib/semgrep/scan.sls +++ b/lib/semgrep/scan.sls @@ -2653,11 +2653,46 @@ (make-symbolic-candidate lhs-start lhs-end lhs) acc))) (reverse acc))))))) - (def (symbolic-expression-candidates source) + (def (symbolic-decorator-candidates source) + (let ([rx (re "(^|\\n)[ \\t]*@[^\\n]+")] + [len (string-length source)]) + (let loop ([start 0] [acc '()]) + (if (> start len) + (reverse acc) + (let ([match (re-search rx source start)]) + (if match + (let* ([full (re-match-full match)] + [at-rel (or (string-find-substring-from + full + "@" + 0) + 0)] + [decorator-start (+ (re-match-start match) + at-rel)] + [decorator-end (re-match-end match)] + [next (max (+ (re-match-start match) 1) + (re-match-end match))]) + (loop + next + (cons + (make-symbolic-candidate + decorator-start + decorator-end + (substring + source + decorator-start + decorator-end)) + acc))) + (reverse acc))))))) + (def (symbolic-expression-candidates language source) (append (symbolic-call-candidates source) (symbolic-condition-candidates source) - (symbolic-assignment-lhs-candidates source))) + (if (symbolic-python-like-language? language) + (append + (symbolic-assignment-lhs-candidates source) + (symbolic-decorator-candidates source)) + '()))) (def (make-symbolic-assignment name expr start indent) (list (cons 'name name) @@ -2694,7 +2729,7 @@ (lambda (match acc) (let* ([expr (string-trim (re-match-group match 3))] [name (re-match-group match 2)]) - (if (string=? expr "{") + (if (or (string=? expr "") (string=? expr "{")) acc (cons (make-symbolic-assignment @@ -2708,6 +2743,63 @@ (re-match-start match)))) acc)))) '()))) + (def (symbolic-python-with-assignments-before + source + before-offset) + (let ([rx (re "(^|\\n)([ \\t]*)with[ \\t]+([^\\n#]+)[ \\t]+as[ \\t]+([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*)[ \\t]*:")] + [input (substring + source + 0 + (min before-offset (string-length source)))]) + (let loop ([start 0] [acc '()]) + (let ([match (re-search rx input start)]) + (if match + (let* ([expr (string-trim (re-match-group match 3))] + [name (re-match-group match 4)] + [line-start (symbolic-assignment-line-offset + source + (re-match-start match))] + [assignment (cons + (cons 'kind 'with) + (make-symbolic-assignment + name + expr + (re-match-start match) + (line-indent-at-offset + source + line-start)))] + [next (max (+ (re-match-start match) 1) + (re-match-end match))]) + (loop next (cons assignment acc))) + acc))))) + (def (symbolic-js-reassignments-before source before-offset) + (let ([pattern "(^|\\n)[ \\t]*([A-Za-z_$][A-Za-z0-9_$]*)[ \\t]*=[ \\t]*([^;\\n]+)"] + [input (substring + source + 0 + (min before-offset (string-length source)))]) + (regex-fold-matches + pattern + input + (lambda (match acc) + (let ([expr (string-trim (re-match-group match 3))] + [name (re-match-group match 2)]) + (if (string=? expr "") + acc + (cons + (cons + (cons 'kind 'js-reassign) + (make-symbolic-assignment + name + expr + (re-match-start match) + (line-indent-at-offset + source + (symbolic-assignment-line-offset + source + (re-match-start match))))) + acc)))) + '()))) (def (symbolic-js-object-assignments-before source before-offset) @@ -2754,22 +2846,34 @@ language source before-offset) + (if (symbolic-python-like-language? language) + (symbolic-python-with-assignments-before + source + before-offset) + '()) (if (javascript-like-language? language) - (symbolic-js-object-assignments-before source before-offset) + (append + (symbolic-js-reassignments-before source before-offset) + (symbolic-js-object-assignments-before + source + before-offset)) '()))) (def (symbolic-assignment-eligible? language assignment max-indent) (or (not (symbolic-python-like-language? language)) - (<= (alist-ref/default assignment 'indent 0) max-indent))) + (let ([indent (alist-ref/default assignment 'indent 0)]) + (and (<= indent max-indent) + (or (not (eq?
