There was a problem hiding this comment.
So according to https://ampcode.com/threads/T-019d4fb2-9f9c-7675-9802-e4dc35a15d4f docker just uses golangs encoding/csv to parse this argument.
As such you should also reject ". An attacker could use that as well. I think newlines and carriage return could also be used to bypass protections.
Alternatively we could encode the argument value using encoding/csv.

Problem
step.Mountpaths are validated to reject commas (via invalidMountCharacters), butstep.Fileskeys are not, even though both end up interpolated into Docker--mountarguments inrun_steps.go:A malicious batch spec could exploit this by using a files key containing commas to inject additional mount parameters:
This produces a
--mountargument where the injectedsource=andtarget=values override the legitimate ones, potentially mounting arbitrary host paths (e.g., the Docker socket) into the container.Solution
Add the same comma validation to
step.Fileskeys that already exists forstep.Mountpaths and mountpoints. This will reject any files target path containing commas during batch spec parsing.
