User description

Fixes https://github.com/khulnasoft/gpt4cli/security/code-scanning/22

To fix the problem, we need to sanitize the user input before using it in the email headers and body. Specifically, we should ensure that the recipient email address is validated to be a proper email format and does not contain any malicious content. We can use a well-known library for email validation to achieve this.

  1. Validate the recipient email address to ensure it is in a proper format.
  2. Sanitize the recipient email address to remove any potentially harmful content.

    Walkthrough

    The changes introduce a new function isValidEmail in the email package to validate email addresses using the mail.ParseAddress method. The sendEmailViaSMTP function is modified to include a validation check for the recipient's email address. If the email is invalid, an error message is returned. An import statement for the net/mail package is also added to support this new functionality.

    PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

    Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪
    🧪 No relevant tests
    🔒 Security concerns

    Email Injection:
    While the PR adds basic email validation, the mail.ParseAddress() function may not catch all malicious inputs. The validation could be strengthened by:

    1. Adding checks for maximum length
    2. Validating against an allowlist of permitted domains
    3. Using a more comprehensive email validation library that checks for all RFC standards
    ⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

    Email Validation

    The email validation using mail.ParseAddress() is basic and may allow some malformed but technically valid addresses. Consider using a more comprehensive validation library.

    func isValidEmail(email string) bool {
    	_, err := mail.ParseAddress(email)
    	return err == nil
    }
    Missing Validation

    Email validation is only added to SMTP function but missing in the SES function. The same validation should be applied to sendEmailViaSES for consistency.

    // sendEmailViaSES sends an email using AWS SES
    func sendEmailViaSES(recipient, subject, htmlBody, textBody string) error {

    • Apply this suggestion
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    Why: Adding email length validation is important for security as it prevents potential buffer overflow attacks and follows RFC 5321 email standards, though the impact is slightly lower than the other suggestions.

    suggestion: Email validation should also be added to sendEmailViaSES for consistency

    Currently only SMTP email sending validates the recipient address. This could lead to inconsistent behavior and potential errors when using SES.

    Suggested implementation:

    // sendEmailViaSES sends an email using AWS SES
    func sendEmailViaSES(recipient, subject, htmlBody, textBody string) error {
    	if !isValidEmail(recipient) {
    		return fmt.Errorf("invalid recipient email address")
    	}
    
    	sess := session.Must(session.NewSession())
    	svc := ses.New(sess)
    
    	input := &ses.SendEmailInput{
    		Destination: &ses.Destination{
    			ToAddresses: []*string{
    				aws.String(recipient),
    			},
    		},
    		Message: &ses.Message{
    			Body: &ses.Body{
    				Html: &ses.Content{
    					Charset: aws.String("UTF-8"),
    					Data:    aws.String(htmlBody),
    				},
    				Text: &ses.Content{
    					Charset: aws.String("UTF-8"),
    					Data:    aws.String(textBody),
    				},
    			},
    			Subject: &ses.Content{
    				Charset: aws.String("UTF-8"),
    				Data:    aws.String(subject),
    			},
    		},
    		Source: aws.String(os.Getenv("FROM_EMAIL")),
    	}
    
    	_, err := svc.SendEmail(input)
    	return err
    }

    Note: I had to reconstruct the sendEmailViaSES function based on typical AWS SES usage. You may need to adjust the implementation details (like the Source email address environment variable name) to match your existing codebase.
