Giskard has Unsandboxed Jinja2 Template Rendering in ConformityCheck

Critical

Local Low Low

Summary

The ConformityCheck class in giskard-checks rendered the rule parameter through Jinja2's default Template() constructor. Because the rule string is silently interpreted as a Jinja2 template, a developer may not realize that template expressions embedded in rule definitions are evaluated at runtime. In a scenario where check definitions are loaded from an untrusted source (e.g. a shared project file or externally contributed configuration), this could lead to arbitrary code execution.

giskard-checks is a local developer testing library with no network-facing service. Check definitions, including the rule parameter, are provided in application code or project configuration files and executed locally. Exploitation requires write access to a check definition and subsequent execution of the test suite by a developer.

However, the implicit template evaluation of the rule parameter is not obvious from the API surface. This hidden behavior increases the likelihood of a developer inadvertently passing untrusted input to it when integrating the library into a larger system.

Affected Component

conformity.py, line 59:

from jinja2 import Template
...
formatted_rule = Template(self.rule).render(trace=trace)

Affected Versions

giskard-checks < 1.0.2b1

Patched Version

giskard-checks >= 1.0.2b1 (template parsing removed from rule evaluation entirely)

Remediation

Upgrade to giskard-checks >= 1.0.2b1. The template rendering has been removed from rule evaluation.

Giskard has a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in RegexMatching Check

Medium

Local Low Low

Summary

The RegexMatching check in the giskard-checks package passes a user-supplied regular expression pattern directly to Python's re.search() without any timeout, complexity guard, or pattern validation. An attacker who can control the regex pattern or the text being matched can craft inputs that trigger catastrophic backtracking in the regex engine, causing the process to hang indefinitely and denying service to all other operations.

giskard-checks is a local developer testing library. Check definitions, including the pattern parameter, are provided in application code or configuration files and executed locally. Exploitation requires write access to a check definition and subsequent execution of the test suite. The absence of a regex timeout could cause availability issues in automated environments such as CI/CD pipelines.

Affected component

text_matching.py, line 457: re.search(pattern, text)

Remediation

Upgrade to giskard-checks >= 1.0.2b1.

Giskard-AI thanks @dhabaleshwar for identifying the missing timeout on regex evaluation.
