feat: port one-shot-token from C to Rust and improve container security #720
Conversation
SECURITY: Replace broad $HOME:$HOME mount with specific narrow mounts: - Mount only ~/.copilot (ro) for MCP config instead of entire home - Mount only the workspace directory (containerWorkDir) for project files - Mount ~/.cargo (ro) and ~/.local/bin (ro) only if they exist (chroot mode) This prevents the agent from accessing sensitive paths like: - ~/actions-runner (GitHub Actions runner config and credentials) - ~/work (other repositories being checked out) - Other sensitive dotfiles and directories The agent still has access to: - ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json (read-only) for MCP server configuration - ~/.copilot/logs (read-write via overlay) for debug logging - The specific workspace directory being worked on (read-write) - /tmp for temporary files
SECURITY: The docker-compose.yml file contains sensitive environment variables (GITHUB_TOKEN, etc.) and was accessible via the /tmp volume mount. Now deleted immediately after docker compose up succeeds, since Docker only needs the file during startup. - Added fs.unlinkSync call after successful container startup - Added test verifying compose file is deleted - Logs debug message on successful deletion

Pull request overview
This PR ports the one-shot-token LD_PRELOAD library from C to Rust and updates the agent container build to compile it with Cargo, while also tightening host volume mounts in docker-manager to reduce access to sensitive host paths.
Changes:
- Add Rust implementation of
one-shot-token(Cargo crate) and update docs/build script accordingly. - Update
containers/agent/Dockerfileto build and install the Rust.soduring image build. - Adjust
generateDockerCompose()to avoid mounting the entire home directory and deletedocker-compose.ymlafter startup; update/add unit tests.

~/.copiloton the host as a side effect of generating compose can unexpectedly modify a user’s home directory and may create root-owned directories when running under sudo.

- In chroot mode, the entrypoint’s default working directory (
AWF_WORKDIR) is the real user home whencontainerWorkDirisn’t set, but this change no longer mounts${userHome}:/host${userHome}:rw. That will typically make the chroot working directory not exist (entrypoint falls back to/) and breaks host-binary workflows that rely on$HOME. Either restore a (possibly narrower) home mount under/host, or require/auto-detect a workspace dir and set/mountcontainerWorkDirconsistently.
// SECURITY: Mount specific home subdirectories instead of entire $HOME
// This prevents access to sensitive paths like ~/actions-runner, ~/work (other repos)
const userHome = getRealUserHome();
// Mount ~/.copilot for MCP config under /host (read-only for chroot)

Deleting docker-compose.yml after docker compose up will break later lifecycle operations that rely on compose discovery in workDir (e.g., stopContainers() runs docker compose down -v with cwd: workDir, which will fail once the file is removed). If you need to keep the agent from reading secrets via the /tmp mount, consider storing the compose file outside the mounted /tmp, using docker compose -f <path> with a non-shared path, or switching stop/cleanup to not depend on the compose file.

This test asserts docker-compose.yml is deleted, but stopContainers() still uses docker compose down -v in workDir (default compose discovery). In real runs, deleting the file will make down fail with “no configuration file provided”. Either update lifecycle commands to not require the compose file, or remove this behavior/test and address secret exposure another way.

Same issue here: c"secure_getenv" is not stable Rust syntax. Use a stable nul-terminated symbol name representation when calling dlsym.

Ignoring Cargo.lock makes the Docker build non-reproducible over time (dependency resolution can drift and break builds unexpectedly). Since this crate is built as part of the image, consider committing Cargo.lock (and removing it from .gitignore) to pin dependency versions for repeatable builds.

HOME is set to the host home path, but the volumes list no longer mounts that home directory (only ~/.copilot and optionally containerWorkDir). This will break common commands that expect $HOME to be writable/populated (git config, caches, SSH, etc.) and also breaks the prior “workspace under $HOME” behavior unless users always pass --container-workdir/explicit mounts. Consider reintroducing a home/workspace mount for non-chroot mode, or change the default HOME and mount strategy so typical workflows still work securely.
This issue also appears in the following locations of the same file:
- line 444
- line 494
| // In non-chroot mode, ensure the container's $HOME path is actually mounted | |
| // so tools that rely on $HOME (git, SSH, caches, etc.) can function correctly. | |
| if (!config.enableChroot) { | |
| agentVolumes.push(`${effectiveHome}:${effectiveHome}:rw`); | |

* Initial plan * fix: create .copilot/logs mountpoint before docker mount The agent container mount at ~/.copilot:ro followed by ~/agent-logs:~/.copilot/logs:rw fails in GitHub Actions because Docker cannot create the logs subdirectory inside a read-only mount. Fix by creating ~/.copilot/logs on the host before mounting, so Docker doesn't need to create the mountpoint inside the read-only parent. This affects GitHub Actions runners where ~/.copilot doesn't exist before AWF runs. Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> * fix: only hide credential files if parent directory exists (#737) * Initial plan * fix: only hide credential files if parent directory exists Prevents Docker mount errors when credential file parent directories don't exist on the host. This fixes the "read-only file system" error when Docker tries to create mountpoints for non-existent parents. The fix checks if the parent directory exists before adding /dev/null mounts for credential files in both normal and chroot modes. This maintains security while avoiding mount failures. Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> * fix: replace /dev/null mounts with tmpfs for credential hiding (#738) * Initial plan * fix: replace /dev/null mounts with tmpfs for credential hiding This fixes Docker mount errors like "read-only file system" that occur when mounting /dev/null over credential files whose parent directories don't exist in the container's filesystem. The solution uses tmpfs mounts instead, which create empty in-memory filesystems that overlay directories without requiring the target path to exist first. Changes: - Normal mode: Hide credential directories (~/.docker, ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, etc.) using tmpfs - Chroot mode: Hide credential directories at /host paths using tmpfs - Updated DockerService type to include tmpfs property - Updated tests to verify tmpfs behavior instead of /dev/null mounts - Fixed config mutation bug by using local variable instead of mutating config object Closes the GitHub Actions failure where cargo credentials mounting failed with: "error mounting "/dev/null" to rootfs at "/host/home/runner/.cargo/credentials": create mountpoint ... read-only file system" Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> * fix: prevent .cargo volume/tmpfs mount conflict in chroot mode (#740) * Initial plan * fix: prevent .cargo volume/tmpfs mount conflict in chroot mode Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> * fix: handle missing docker-compose.yml during cleanup gracefully (#741) * Initial plan * fix: handle missing docker-compose.yml during cleanup gracefully Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: anthropic-code-agent[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: anthropic-code-agent[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: anthropic-code-agent[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: anthropic-code-agent[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]> --------- Co-authored-by: anthropic-code-agent[bot] <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: lpcox <[email protected]>

Chroot Version Comparison Test Results
Overall: Tests failed (1/3 passed) The chroot mode successfully accessed the host Go installation, but Python and Node.js versions differ between host and container environments. This is expected behavior as chroot mode provides access to host binaries, but version mismatches can occur when the container has different runtime versions installed.

The previous approach hid the entire ~/.cargo directory via tmpfs AND skipped mounting it unless --allow-full-filesystem-access was set. This broke Rust toolchain access in chroot mode (rustc not found). Now ~/.cargo is always mounted read-only in chroot mode for toolchain access, and only ~/.cargo/credentials is hidden via tmpfs to protect crates.io tokens.

Docker cannot create a tmpfs mountpoint inside a read-only volume. Since ~/.cargo is already mounted as :ro in chroot mode, the credentials file is already protected (read-only).
