File Location:
scripts/deploy_sqlbot.py:244-249, 261-363
Vulnerability Type: Missing authorization and confirmation gate for destructive or billable operations
Risk Level: HighCode Snippet
python # Simple confirmation (optional, can be commented out) # confirm = input("\nContinue creating server? (y/N): ") # if confirm.lower() != 'y': # print("Creation cancelled") # returnThe execution then proceeds directly to resource creation:
python existing_sg = client.get_security_group_by_name(sg_name) if existing_sg: sg_id = existing_sg.get("id") print(f"✅ Using existing security group: {sg_name} ({sg_id})") else: sg_id = client.create_security_group(sg_name, network.get("vpc_id")) if sg_id: print(f"\n🔐 Adding port access rules...") client.add_security_group_rule( sg_id, port_range_min=8000, port_range_max=8000, remote_ip_prefix="192.168.0.0/16", description="SQLBot Web port" )Billable server creation subsequently occurs without another confirmation check:
python if charging_mode == "prePaid": result = client.create_prepaid_server_with_sdk( server_name=args.name, flavor_id=flavor_id, image_id=image_id, volume_size=args.volume_size, vpc_id=network.get("vpc_id"), subnet_id=network.get("subnet_id"), security_group_id=sg_id, admin_pass=args.password, availability_zone=zone, eip_bandwidth=args.bandwidth, ) else: result = client.create_postpaid_server_with_sdk( server_name=args.name, flavor_id=flavor_id, image_id=image_id, volume_size=args.volume_size, vpc_id=network.get("vpc_id"), subnet_id=network.get("subnet_id"), security_group_id=sg_id, admin_pass=args.password, availability_zone=zone, eip_bandwidth=args.bandwidth, )Technical Analysis

Remediation Suggestions
- Default the program to a non-mutating dry-run that only resolves and displays the final configuration.
- Require an explicit approval immediately before the first mutating cloud API request.
- For interactive use, require a clear affirmative response and fail closed on EOF, timeout, or any unrecognized response.
- For non-interactive use, require a dedicated parameter such as
--approve-config-digest SHA256, where the digest is calculated from the exact displayed region, billing mode, flavor, disk, EIP, network, and server name. - Require a new approval whenever any deployment parameter changes.
- Implement the documented second confirmation for custom configurations.
- Keep confirmation checks in the executable path rather than relying exclusively on Agent instructions.
- Separate validation and planning from resource creation so credentials can be tested without triggering mutations.
- Add automated tests proving that no mutating API method is called without a valid approval state.
