Potential fix for https://github.com/OpenGov/activerecord5-redshift-adapter/security/code-scanning/3
In general, to fix this class of issue you should avoid
Kernel.openandIO.*file-reading helpers when given non-constant or externally influenced paths, and instead use the equivalent methods onFile(File.open,File.read,File.readlines, etc.), which do not interpret a leading|as a shell command.For this specific case, the safest and simplest fix is to replace
IO.readlines(@migrations_path + "/4_people_have_hobbies.bukkits.rb")withFile.readlines(@migrations_path + "/4_people_have_hobbies.bukkits.rb").File.readlineshas the same return type and behavior (an array of lines), so the subsequent indexing[0].chompcontinues to work identically, and no other parts of the test need to change. No new helpers or imports are required;Fileis part of Ruby’s core library.The only code change is within
test/cases/migration_test.rbin theCopyMigrationsTest#test_copying_migrations_without_timestampsmethod at line 668: swap the class on the call fromIOtoFile.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
