Summary

  • Validate OpenTerminal request parameters before use.
  • Quote command arguments at shell boundaries.
  • Validate plugin-manager branch substitutions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved validation for terminal requests, including identifiers, shells, log files, and paths.
    • Invalid or malformed terminal parameters now return a clear error instead of being processed or redirected to an unintended location.
    • Strengthened command and path handling to reduce risks from unsafe input and prevent unintended file access.
    • Improved validation of branch-selection values and temporary file operations to ensure safer handling of requests.

Walkthrough

The change validates plugin branch and terminal request parameters, rejects malformed values with HTTP 400, applies path containment checks, and shell-escapes command arguments.

Changes

Input hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Plugin branch validation
emhttp/plugins/dynamix.plugin.manager/include/ShowPlugins.php
The plugin manager accepts only valid branch strings and shell-escapes the temporary sed rewrite command.
Terminal parameter validation
emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/OpenTerminal.php
New helpers validate request parameters, identifiers, shells, log paths, and directory paths. Invalid values return HTTP 400.
Terminal command wiring
emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/OpenTerminal.php
Terminal modes use validated parameters, path containment checks, and escaped shell arguments.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ee999

Malformed terminal and plugin requests are rejected and shell arguments are protected while disk-log output retains its intended behavior; no concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

In `@emhttp/plugins/dynamix/include/OpenTerminal.php`:
- Line 143: Update the grep command in the disk-log request to pass $dev
directly to escapeshellarg(), preserving the intended regex without embedded
quote characters, and leave /var/log/syslog* unquoted so the shell expands the
glob. Keep the existing wait() flow unchanged.
