  1. GhostApproval: как AI-ассистенты пробивают модель доверия через симлинки

    Техника GhostApproval позволяет вредоносному репозиторию вынудить AI-ассистента незаметно для разработчика записать данные в чувствительные файлы вне проекта, вплоть до ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

    В результате подтверждение на изменение, которое выглядит как правка обычного файла проекта, может дать злоумышленнику постоянную возможность входа по SSH.

    Атака строится на старом трюке с симлинками по CWE‑61 с вишенкой на торте в виде CWE-451. Файл вроде project_settings.json или другой конфигурации, упомянутой в README, оказывается симлинком на чувствительный путь, например ~/.ssh/authorized_keys или shell-startup файл. При выполнении инструкций вроде «настрой рабочее окружение» агент следует по симлинку и записывает, например, SSH-ключ атакующего, тогда как разработчик видит подтверждение на изменение обычного файла проекта.

  2. В 2 раза ускорил компиляцию Unity на том же железе

    Творите в Unity на Windows и страдаете от долгих компиляций? Инструкция как без вложений и разгона сократить время билда в 2 раза.

  3. @carlton @sethmlarson And does the consensus against symbolic links arise from inexperience? Windows didn't let unprivileged users create symlinks in NTFS until Windows 10 build 14972 in 2018, and even then only if developer mode is on. Instead, Windows desktop users' experience since 1995 has been with shortcuts, which operate at the shell level, not the file system level.

  4. Now this is an interesting #Python problem. I don't know if it's a #bug, but it's a change in behaviour that I don't see documented.

    I upgraded from #Debian 12/Bookworm to 13/Trixie, so the default Python3 changed from 3.11 to 3.13. A script of mine broke, because `pathlib.Path.is_mount()` changed behaviour when the path is a symlink (at least to a directory).

    i.e. I'm testing a path that is a symlink. The symlink points to a directory. That directory *is* a mountpoint. The `.is_mount()` test in 3.11 returned True, while in 3.13 it returns False.

    This seems wrong to me. Most path-manipulation functions transparently treat symlinks as if they were the pointed-to object unless you pass an option/flag specifically to say you want the symlink itself.

    Gonna have to dig to see what else I can find.

  5. The lack of #symlink timestamp handling in #RustLang std is a bit sad. 😢

  6. #TIL about the `namei` tool which is sort of like #traceroute but for filesystem traversal.

    This is especially useful on #nixos where you're frequently dealing with stuff that is multiple levels of symlinks deep.

    It's probably already on your system because it's part of #utillinux; go try it out:

    namei `which ls`

    #namei #symlink #linux
