The doc-map YAML config was previously read from the local workspace
(the PR branch checkout). A malicious PR author could modify
.review-bot/doc-map.yml to map any path glob to sensitive design docs,
causing review-bot to fetch and inject those docs into the LLM prompt.
Fix: add --doc-map-trusted-ref (DOC_MAP_TRUSTED_REF) flag. When set to
a trusted ref (e.g. 'main'), the doc-map config is fetched from the VCS
API at that ref instead of from local workspace. A 404 from VCS is a
hard error (no silent fallback to local copy).
When unset, the local workspace is used with a security warning in the
logs pointing operators to the new flag.
Changes:
- review/docmap.go: add ParseDocMapConfigContent + parseDocMapBytes
helper to parse from in-memory content (fetched via VCS API)
- cmd/review-bot/main.go: add --doc-map-trusted-ref flag; Step 6c
branches on trusted-ref to fetch vs local-workspace load
- .gitea/actions/review/action.yml: add doc-map-trusted-ref input
- README.md: document new input
- CHANGELOG.md: security and feature entries
Tests:
- TestParseDocMapConfigContent_Valid/Empty/InvalidYAML/UnknownKeys
in review/docmap_test.go

Finding #1 [MAJOR]: replace os.Stat with os.Lstat in checkStaleDocs to
prevent symlink traversal. Symlinks under repoRoot could probe arbitrary
host file existence; Lstat never follows them. Symlinked docs are now
treated as stale.
Finding #2 [MINOR]: resolve --repo-root with filepath.Abs +
filepath.EvalSymlinks before passing to checkStaleDocs, so a symlinked
repo-root cannot bypass the filepath.Rel escape guard.
Finding #3 [NIT]: reject backslashes in ValidateDocPath to prevent
Windows platform edge cases where a path separator may be normalised
differently by the host OS or VCS backend.
Tests added:
- TestCheckStaleDocs_SymlinkOutside: symlink inside repo → outside
- TestCheckStaleDocs_SymlinkInsideRepo: intra-repo symlink also rejected
- TestRunValidateDocmap_SymlinkRepoRoot: symlinked --repo-root resolves OK
- TestValidateDocPath_Backslash: backslash paths rejected
- Backslash cases added to TestValidateDocPath invalid slice
All go test ./... pass, go vet ./... clean.
Export review.ValidateDocPath and use it in checkStaleDocs before
calling os.Stat. Add filepath.Clean + filepath.Rel confinement check
as defense-in-depth to ensure doc paths from PR-controlled YAML
cannot probe filesystem locations outside repoRoot.
Also add tests covering: ../../etc/passwd, /etc/passwd, ../outside,
a valid present path, and a valid missing path.
Addresses security finding from security-review-bot on PR #142.
Adds FileCoveredByDocMap(cfg *DocMapConfig, file string) bool — a thin wrapper
over the existing unexported mappingMatches that lets cmd/ check per-file docmap
coverage without duplicating glob logic.
Also adds unit tests covering matched globs, non-matching paths, empty file,
and empty config.
- New --doc-map flag (DOC_MAP_FILE env var): path to YAML config mapping
source path globs to governing design docs
- New --doc-map-max-bytes flag (DOC_MAP_MAX_BYTES env var): cap on total
injected doc content, default 100KB
- review/docmap.go: DocMapConfig parsing, glob matching with ** support,
doc loading via VCS with directory expansion and size guard
- budget.Sections: new DesignDocs field, trimmed after conventions
- budget.buildResult: injects DesignDocs under ## Design Documents heading
- action.yml: doc-map and doc-map-max-bytes inputs wired to env vars
- CHANGELOG.md: created with unreleased entry
- Tests: ParseDocMapConfig, MatchDocs, globMatch, LoadMatchingDocs
