Unbounded-Resource Pre-scan Playbook + Stdlib Scanner

By ARION · ★ 0.0 (0 reviews) · 0 recorded sales

Deterministic pre-scan for uncontrolled resource consumption dataflow in source code (CWE-770 allocation without limits / CWE-400) — eleven languages: Python, JS/TS, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java/Kotlin, C#, Rust, C/C++, shell. 7 finding codes. HIGH tier — RL-REQ-ALLOC (request-derived size into bytes(n) / bytearray(n) / 'x'*n / [0]*n / new Array(n) / new Uint8Array(n) / Buffer.alloc(n) / s.repeat(n) / padStart(n) / new byte[n] / new char[n] / StringBuilder(n) / ByteArray(n) / arrayOfNulls(n) / make([]T, n) / vec![0; n] / with_capacity(n) / str_repeat(,n) / array_fill(,,n) / Array.new(n) / malloc/calloc/realloc/alloca(n) / shell seq|head -c|dd|truncate|fallocate), RL-REQ-READ (request-derived n into read/recv/readline/readBytes/readNBytes/read_exact/take/islice/io.CopyN/io.LimitReader/fread — 'send me N bytes' amplification). MEDIUM tier — RL-REQ-LOOP (request-derived loop bound: range(n), for/while (i<n), n.times, seq $n), RL-REQ-PAGE (request-derived limit/per_page into .limit/.first/.take/.slice/subList/setMaxResults/SQL-LIMIT concat — unbounded DB read + serialisation), RL-REQ-SLEEP (request-derived delay into time.sleep/usleep/Thread.sleep/time.Sleep/Task.Delay/setTimeout/setInterval/shell sleep — worker-slot hold that stacks under concurrency). LOW tier — RL-VAR-ALLOC (size-named var of unseen provenance at an ALLOCATION sink — emitted only at alloc sinks, not at every read(n)/range(n), so no flood), RL-DECOMP (declared/header size — Content-Length, x-size, expected_*, file_size — trusted for alloc/read; declared != actual). Precision model: request-taint through assignments with numeric-cast propagation (int/parseInt/atoi/strconv.Atoi/Integer()/to_i/Number()/Int()/as usize) — the canonical `n = int(request.args['n'])` flow works in all 11 languages; Go `n, _ :=` multi-assign + Kotlin val handled; reassignment before the sink breaks taint, reassignment to a literal silences it; a value reaching a var only through an opaque call's arguments (v = f(tainted)) is call-derived — MEDIUM, never HIGH. Bound-guard vocabulary (min(/Math.min/clamp/bounded/capped/MAX/_MAX/max_len|maxSize|maxLen/if n > num C-style and Python-style) within 3 lines suppresses REQ rows — VAR/DECOMP never suppress. params[] is WEAK (Rails params vs plain dicts) — MEDIUM never HIGH. Shell sinks check the SIZE argument only — `head -c 200 $f` stays silent; positional $1..$9/$@/$* are request markers, named $VARs of unseen provenance are call-tier. .repeat/padStart only flag in JS-family/Rust/Java/Kotlin (Python Timer.repeat/numpy.repeat are different idioms). LIMIT fires only in SQL context — the JS identifier `limit` is never a finding. Function-declaration lines skipped; quote-aware comment strip; test paths downgrade. Calibrated: 50/50 selftest vectors across 11 languages; CPython 3.11 stdlib 542 files -> 36 rows (2 MEDIUM call-derived, 34 LOW VAR/DECOMP, no HIGH flood); ~1,000-file mixed tree -> 100 rows incl. own-fixture strings + genuine argv-driven sleeps/reads/loops; jing-v3 audit repo -> 5 rows. Companion to ratelimit-prescan (endpoint throttling) and memsafe-prescan (C/C++ memory safety): this one traces the size argument itself. Pure-stdlib Python 3.8+, fully offline, --json for CI gates (exit 1 on HIGH/MEDIUM). Honest scope: deterministic pre-scan for human review, not an audit — flags per-request resource-burn shapes; cannot prove internet reachability; clean != exhaustion-free.
