feat: network allowlist policy, sandbox events, namespace/KVM probes, contract 1.19 - #85
Conversation
Add an Allowlist variant to NetworkPolicy that names the hosts and ports a box may reach, with validation rejecting empty lists, malformed host names and cloud metadata endpoints. Backends that cannot enforce an allowlist now refuse such a box at create time rather than silently widening it to full egress. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Change network_flags to take a reference to NetworkPolicy instead of taking it by value, and update the call site to pass a borrow. This avoids an unnecessary copy of the policy when building the docker argument list. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Add an event module with SandboxEvent, EventSink, CollectingSink and the DenialKind and LimitKind enums, re-exported from the crate root so backends can report denials and limit hits. Also cover allowlist validation, policy risk ranking and typed network refusals with tests. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Reformatted the allowlist validation assertions to satisfy rustfmt and made the spec validation test return a Result so it can use the fallible spec helper. Removed the denied event JSON round-trip test from the event tests. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Add a test to each sandbox backend asserting that creating a sandbox with an allowlist network policy fails with ConstraintNotEnforced, since none of the backends can enforce egress allowlists. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Add a test asserting that creating a sandbox with an egress allowlist fails with ConstraintNotEnforced when the backend cannot enforce network policy, so the unsupported-enforcement path stays covered. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Reformat the unenforceable network allowlist tests across the sandbox backends and switch the passthrough test to crate-relative paths for NetworkPolicy, EgressAllowlist, Constraint, and Enforcement. No test behaviour changes. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Add a probe module and re-export NamespaceProbe and UsernsStatus so callers can inspect user namespace availability without reaching into the crate internals. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The executable-bit check used unix-only APIs unconditionally, so the crate failed to build on non-unix targets. It is now compiled only on unix, with a plain file check as the fallback elsewhere, and the corresponding test is gated the same way. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Introduce a KVM-based virtualization backend for the microvm crate, providing the core module and its accompanying tests. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Bump the contract to 1.19 and add a NetworkPolicy::Allowlist variant that restricts egress to named hosts and ports, with backends that cannot enforce it refusing the request. Also introduce the observational SandboxEvent vocabulary (Started, Denied, LimitHit, Exited) so modules can report sandbox activity. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
…/tinybox-core/src/shell/mod.rs, Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The deprecated allowance was moved from the import statement to a module-level attribute so it also covers the rest of the file, which still relies on deprecated APIs. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Add a module-level allow(deprecated) attribute to the shell classification, environment guard, executor, and scan modules so the existing deprecated API usage no longer emits warnings. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The unenforceable network allowlist tests across the core, docker, linux and microvm backends now assert against the full create result instead of unwrapping the error first, which keeps the assertion in one place. Doc comments in the linux probe module also wrap AppArmor in backticks for consistency. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Tests now use unwrap_or_default for optional problem messages and return Result from fallible tests instead of unwrapping, so a failure surfaces as a test error rather than a panic. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
The allowlist refusal test now matches on the returned Result instead of unwrapping the error first, so the assertion covers the Ok case as well and no longer panics on unexpected success. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Adds a scope section to AGENTS.md and README.md stating that tinybox only enforces confinement and reports events, leaving policy, approval, audit and command classification to tinysecurity, and noting the deprecation of the shell classification helpers. The TinyBus module README now advertises contract version 1.19 and describes the Allowlist and SandboxEvent additions. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly
Reformat the deprecated attribute notes and re-export lists to satisfy rustfmt line width limits, and sort the event re-export alphabetically among its neighbours. No behaviour changes. Auto-committed-on: dragonfly

A rabbit checks the hosts in line,
Then tests each port at half past nine.
Events hop softly, clear and neat,
While probes report what they can meet.
“No silent drops!” the rabbit sings,
And bounds through fields of sandbox things.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When an Allowlist record reaches NamespaceSandbox::exec through the public Store::insert API or a persisted store rather than this version's create path, this returns true; bwrap in crates/tinybox-linux/src/sandbox/args.rs consequently omits --unshare-net, and exec never calls refuse_allowlist. The unsupported allowlist is therefore widened to unrestricted host egress instead of returning ConstraintNotEnforced; revalidate/refuse the policy during execution or make this backend's argument construction reject it.

The literal string matching accepts equivalent spellings of prohibited endpoints, such as the absolute DNS name metadata.google.internal. and the expanded IPv6 address fd00:ec2:0:0:0:0:0:254. Both identify endpoints that the new contract says validation must reject, so callers can receive Ok(()) for a forbidden allowlist; parse IP literals to IpAddr and normalize DNS names before comparison.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
On systems where kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1 but the installed bwrap already has a profile granting userns, this branch still makes problem() return Some and is_usable() return false, even though the module's own status documentation says such profiled binaries may create namespaces. Probe the selected executable or represent this as an indeterminate restriction rather than unconditionally reporting the backend unusable.

Qualify event reporting until backends emit these events.
The PR adds event types and a collecting sink, but its objectives say backends do not emit the new events yet. These present-tense statements promise behavior that is not currently available.

SSRF
Reachability: Internal
Exploitability: Theoretical
CWE: CWE-918 — Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Normalize IP literals before metadata checks.
is_metadata_host uses textual matching, so equivalent forms can pass validation. Parse IP literals, use Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4() to cover both mapped and IPv4-compatible IPv6 forms, and compare the resulting address with all three IPv4 metadata addresses. Trim trailing dots for DNS names, preserve the metadata names and fd00:ec2::254, and retain the existing broad ::ffff:169.254.169.254 prefix fallback. Do not use to_ipv4_mapped() for this conversion.
The current shipped backends refuse allowlists, so this is a validation gap today rather than a reachable SSRF path. An enforcing backend could otherwise accept a metadata endpoint.

Make the metadata list in the spec match the validator.
The spec lists five metadata endpoints. EgressAllowlist::is_metadata_host also refuses the bare name metadata and the ::ffff:169.254.169.254 IPv4-mapped prefix. The spec does not mention either one. A backend implementer who reads this spec as the full rule set can miss these two forms. Add them to the spec, or state that the validator list is authoritative.

Clarify which kind of policy tinybox does not own.
The Layout section at Line 274 says tinybox-core contains “policy.” Distinguish authorization and command-classification decisions from sandbox constraint policy and enforcement.
