0881a7a5d7* studio: contain export and dataset paths under their configured roots
resolve_under_root and resolve_dataset_path previously returned absolute
paths unchanged, so an authenticated client could supply
save_directory="/tmp/escape" (or any other absolute path) and have the
exporter drop adapter files anywhere the server user could write. This
turned up during a recent audit pass where an authenticated POST to
/api/export/export/lora with save_directory="/tmp/lora_escape_test"
returned 200 and wrote adapter_model.safetensors, adapter_config.json,
and tokenizer files under /tmp.
The fix is two-layered:
storage_roots.py adds an _assert_contained(resolved, root) helper that
runs after path resolution and rejects any result whose realpath does
not sit under realpath(root). resolve_under_root now rejects '..'
segments and null bytes outright, and only accepts absolute inputs when
they are already inside the configured root (internal call sites that
re-resolve a stored absolute path stay idempotent;
worker.py:resolve_output_dir(output_dir) etc. continue to work).
resolve_dataset_path picks up the same containment rule, scoped to the
three dataset roots.
models/export.py adds field_validator("save_directory", mode="before")
to ExportCommonOptions and ExportGGUFRequest so bad input fails fast at
422 with a clear message rather than a 500 deep inside the resolver.
The validator rejects empty/whitespace, null bytes, control chars,
strings longer than 255 chars, absolute paths, and '..' segments.
routes/export.py:_export_details now returns os.path.relpath(output_path,
exports_root()) so the Export Complete dialog and /api/models/loras no
longer leak the absolute install prefix to the UI; the basename is
used as a last-resort fallback.
Verified end to end:
- POST /api/export/export/lora {"save_directory":"/tmp/foo"} -> 422
"save_directory must be a name or relative path under the export
root; absolute paths are rejected". /tmp/foo is not created.
- "../../etc/escape" -> 422 "may not contain '..' segments".
- save_directory="my_subdir" -> still accepted (400 only because the
test had no checkpoint loaded yet, not because of validation).
- Internal idempotent re-resolve via resolve_export_dir(absolute path
that is already under exports_root) returns the same path unchanged.
* studio/sandbox: harden bash + python tool execution
The sandboxed Bash and Python tool channels in Chat ran with a thin
preexec hook (PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS + RLIMIT_FSIZE only). Bash had a
small word blocklist; Python had an AST safety pass aimed at
signal-tampering and shell-escape primitives. An audit pass showed
several gaps that a tool-calling model could trigger inadvertently:
- bash curl/wget/nc reached AWS IMDSv2 and returned live STS
credentials for the instance role.
- python "import socket; s.connect((169.254.169.254, 80))"
reached the same endpoint regardless of the bash blocklist.
- "cat /etc/passwd" was blocked at the bash side (because "passwd"
is in the blocklist), but "open('/etc/passwd').read()" in Python
happily returned its contents.
- "chr(115)+chr(117)+chr(100)+chr(111)" style dynamic-arg
construction slipped through the AST shell-escape check.
- The supervisor used proc.kill() on timeout, which only signals
the immediate pid; bash-backgrounded children survived. A fork
bomb could spawn for the full 300s timeout window.
- Session work directories under ~/studio_sandbox/<id>/ were
created with default umask (0o755), so any other UID on the host
could enumerate them.
- session_id sanitisation used a one-shot str.replace("..",""),
which is non-iterative and a small footgun.
This commit takes a conservative middle path: the sandbox still
runs as the Studio UID with no namespace tricks where the kernel
disallows them, but every chokepoint is tightened.
_sandbox_preexec now:
- calls os.setsid() so children share a process group; the
supervisor uses os.killpg(SIGKILL) on timeout/cancel so
backgrounded children die with the parent (new _kill_process_tree
helper, wired into _cancel_watcher and both _bash_exec /
_python_exec timeout branches).
- calls os.umask(0o077) so files the child writes default to 0o600.
- applies PR_SET_PDEATHSIG=SIGKILL so an orphaned child dies if
Studio exits.
- best-effort unshare(CLONE_NEWNET) for a private network namespace
(failure is logged and swallowed; defense-in-depth is still in
place via the bash blocklist and the AST checker below).
- sets RLIMIT_NPROC=10000 (tunable via UNSLOTH_STUDIO_SANDBOX_NPROC),
RLIMIT_AS=8GB, RLIMIT_CPU=300, RLIMIT_NOFILE=1024. The 10k NPROC
figure is chosen to sit well above the ~500 LWPs a healthy Studio
+ llama-server combination already uses while still capping a
runaway fork bomb. NPROC counts LWPs per real UID, so a lower
figure (e.g. 256) starves legitimate bash forks
("bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable").
_get_workdir:
- rejects session_id that doesn't match [A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,64};
non-matching values bucket into a shared "_invalid" dir.
- chmod 0o700 on both the workdir and on ~/studio_sandbox/ so
other UIDs cannot read another session's contents.
_BLOCKED_COMMANDS_COMMON gains: doas, pkexec, halt, poweroff, curl,
wget, nc, ncat, netcat, socat, ssh, scp, sftp, rsync, eval, source.
The intent is to keep general bash usage working (echo, ls, pipes,
loops, for, head, etc.) while denying the obvious egress and
escalation paths.
The AST checker (_check_signal_escape_patterns) is split into the
existing shell/signal/loop checks plus a new narrow IO denylist:
- Always flag non-literal args to anything in _SHELL_EXEC_FUNCS,
not just _STRING_SHELL_FUNCS. Closes the dynamic-arg bypass.
- Reject calls to socket.create_connection, socket.socket().connect,
urllib.request.urlopen, http.client.HTTP*Connection, requests.*,
httpx.* whose literal host argument is in a cloud-metadata
denylist (169.254.169.254 + 169.254.* + 100.64.*, plus the
GCP/Alibaba/ECS metadata hostnames and IPv6 link-local). Public
hosts (example.com, huggingface.co, ...) still work. Dynamic
hosts cannot be statically blocked; mitigated by the bash
blocklist + the netns where the kernel allows it.
- Reject literal open("/etc/passwd"), /etc/shadow, /etc/sudoers,
/etc/ssh/*, and /proc/<pid>/environ. Other files
(/etc/os-release, /etc/hostname, /tmp/*, user dirs) still work.
The _check_code_safety summariser is updated to include the new
network_calls and sensitive_file_reads buckets in its error string.
Regression-checked: echo, sleep, ls /tmp, for loops, piped helpers
(echo a | tr a A), urllib.request.urlopen("http://example.com"),
socket.getaddrinfo("example.com",80), open("/etc/os-release"),
open("/tmp/...","w") all still succeed. curl, wget, nc, ssh, rm,
socket.create_connection(("169.254.169.254",80)),
open("/etc/passwd"), open("/proc/self/environ") all correctly
blocked.
* studio: rate-limit login, rotate refresh tokens, add logout, security headers, gate bootstrap injection
A pass over the auth surface found a cluster of related issues that this
commit closes together.
Login (routes/auth.py):
- Add an in-memory per-IP login rate limiter. Five failed POSTs to
/api/auth/login inside a 60s window produce 429 with Retry-After.
A successful login clears the bucket. Previously 30 wrong passwords
in under one second was accepted as 30x 401, which combined with
the (now fixed) admin-username leak from /api/auth/status made
brute-force trivial against a small password.
Logout (routes/auth.py):
- New POST /api/auth/logout returns 204 and calls
storage.revoke_user_refresh_tokens(subject) so the refresh token
is no longer valid. Previously POST /api/auth/logout returned 405
and there was no way to invalidate refresh tokens short of
changing the password. Frontend session.ts already calls
clearAuthTokens() to drop localStorage; the new endpoint lets the
client also tell the server to revoke server-side state.
Refresh-token rotation (routes/auth.py + auth/storage.py):
- New storage.consume_refresh_token(token) atomically validates +
deletes a refresh token, returning (username, is_desktop). The
/api/auth/refresh handler now mints both a new access AND a new
refresh token; the supplied token becomes invalid. Replaying a
consumed refresh returns 401 "Invalid or expired refresh token".
The previous refresh_access_token helper is left in place for
callers that intentionally want the non-rotating shape; nothing
in the route layer uses it now.
/api/auth/status no longer leaks default_username (models/auth.py +
routes/auth.py):
- AuthStatusResponse.default_username becomes Optional[str] with a
None default; the handler always returns None. The frontend already
hardcodes HIDDEN_LOGIN_USERNAME = "unsloth" (auth-form.tsx:82), so
no UI change is required.
window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__ no longer auto-injects (main.py):
- _inject_bootstrap is now opt-in via the
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP env var. The previous default
(inject whenever requires_password_change is true) embedded the
plaintext bootstrap password into the first-boot HTML for any
caller that hit /, /change-password, or any unknown SPA path.
Browser extensions and any XSS payload on the page could read it
trivially. With the new gate the bootstrap password lives only in
the auth/.bootstrap_password file (mode 0o600) where it has always
been; users typing it into a current-password field is the right
UX. routes/auth.py:change_password also clears
app.state.bootstrap_password defensively.
Security headers + server fingerprint (main.py + run.py):
- New SecurityHeadersMiddleware adds Content-Security-Policy,
X-Frame-Options: DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff,
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer,
Permissions-Policy: camera=(), microphone=(), geolocation=(),
interest-cohort=(), and stamps server: unsloth-studio so the
generic uvicorn banner no longer fingerprints the stack. The
uvicorn.Config gains server_header=False so it stops emitting its
own Server header.
/api/health minimisation (main.py):
- Unauthenticated GET /api/health returns just
{"status":"healthy","timestamp":...} so load-balancer liveness
probes keep working without leaking version, device_type,
chat_only, desktop_protocol_version, or studio_root_id to
arbitrary callers. A request that presents a valid Bearer token
still gets the full diagnostic payload so internal launchers and
sibling-Studio detection (which compares studio_root_id) keep
working.
Verification:
- 30 wrong-password POSTs to /api/auth/login -> first 5 = 401, 6th
through 30th = 429.
- POST /api/auth/logout with a fresh token -> 204. The matching
refresh token then fails 401.
- Login -> R1; /api/auth/refresh with R1 -> new access + R2 (R2 !=
R1); /api/auth/refresh with R1 again -> 401; /api/auth/refresh
with R2 -> still succeeds once and rotates again.
- curl /api/auth/status -> default_username: null.
- curl http://127.0.0.1/ does not contain __UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__.
- curl -I / shows CSP, X-Frame-Options: DENY,
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Referrer-Policy: no-referrer,
Permissions-Policy, and server: unsloth-studio.
- curl /api/health unauthenticated -> {status, timestamp} only.
curl with Authorization: Bearer <valid> -> full payload.
- Existing /api/system, /api/models/list, /api/train/status,
/api/inference/status, /api/auth/api-keys, login flow, SPA root
all still return 200 after the changes (regression smoke).
* studio: add SecurityHeadersMiddleware, MaxBodyMiddleware, /recipes redirect, gate _inject_bootstrap, minimise /api/health
This commit lands the main.py-side changes that share a single
middleware-registration spot. They are kept together because every
change here is either (a) a top-level middleware definition that has
to be added next to LoggingMiddleware, or (b) a route handler at the
same file-level.
SecurityHeadersMiddleware (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options:
DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Referrer-Policy: no-referrer,
Permissions-Policy, server: unsloth-studio). The previous responses
emitted no CSP, no XFO, no Referrer-Policy and were stamped
server: uvicorn.
MaxBodyMiddleware rejects POST/PUT/PATCH on the inference / dataset /
data-recipe / train / export prefixes when Content-Length exceeds
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB (default 100). The audit hit this by
attaching a 50 MB plain-text file to a chat message and watching
Studio base64-encode it into the JSON body; uvicorn has no enforced
cap so the only previous guard was the per-file 50 MB ceiling that
data-recipe upload routes already enforce. The new middleware extends
that ceiling to the OpenAI-compat path that the Chat attachments
flow through. Verified: a 200 MB JSON POST to /v1/chat/completions
returns HTTP 413 "Request body too large (209,715,264 bytes; max
104,857,600)". A small valid request continues to reach the handler.
_inject_bootstrap is gated behind UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP.
The previous default was to inline window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__ =
{username, password} into the first-boot HTML whenever
requires_password_change was true, which exposed the plaintext
bootstrap password to any browser extension, page script, or LAN
caller on -H 0.0.0.0. The bootstrap password remains in the on-disk
.bootstrap_password file (mode 0o600) where it has always lived;
users typing it into a current-password field is the right UX.
/api/health unauthenticated returns {"status":"healthy","timestamp":
...} only; the previous payload (version, device_type, chat_only,
desktop_protocol_version, supports_desktop_auth, studio_root_id,
native_path_leases_supported) is preserved for callers that present
a valid Bearer token, so internal launchers and sibling-Studio
detection (which compares studio_root_id) keep working.
/recipes -> /data-recipes 308 redirect. The Data Recipes page lives
at /data-recipes; users typing /recipes hit the SPA catch-all and
saw "Not Found". The redirect also preserves any tail path, so
/recipes/<rest> -> /data-recipes/<rest>.
Verified end to end with curl: CSP / XFO / X-Content-Type-Options /
Referrer-Policy / Permissions-Policy all present on /, server header
is now unsloth-studio (uvicorn's own banner is suppressed via
server_header=False in run.py from the auth-batch commit). Followed
the /recipes redirect lands on the SPA HTML.
* studio: bound TrainingStartRequest hyperparameters at the schema level
POST /api/train/start accepted any value for learning_rate, batch_size,
max_steps, max_seq_length, warmup_steps, warmup_ratio, num_epochs,
save_steps, weight_decay, gradient_accumulation_steps, lora_r,
lora_alpha and lora_dropout, including -1, 0, 1e9, and non-numeric
strings like 'abc' or 'two' (which silently coerce to 0 in the
trainer). Probing showed the API returning 200 to learning_rate=-1
and batch_size=0; only max_steps had any partial clamping.
This commit adds field_validator on every numeric hyperparameter.
Bounds are chosen wide enough to span realistic single-host
configurations (B200 with 180 GB of memory comfortably fits the
upper end) while rejecting the values that always produce broken
training:
- learning_rate: parses str/float, requires 0 < lr < 1.0. Non-numeric
input raises with "learning_rate must be parseable as float (got
'abc')" instead of silently coercing to 0.
- batch_size: [1, 1024].
- gradient_accumulation_steps: [1, 4096].
- num_epochs: [1, 1000].
- max_steps: [1, 1_000_000].
- max_seq_length: [1, 131072].
- warmup_steps: [0, max_steps].
- warmup_ratio: [0.0, 1.0].
- save_steps: [0, 1_000_000].
- weight_decay: [0, 10] (typical 0..0.1).
- lora_r: [1, 512].
- lora_alpha: [1, 1024].
- lora_dropout: [0.0, 1.0).
Each validator names the offending field in its ValueError message
so the 422 response body identifies which input is bad. The
learning_rate validator returns its result as str (the schema field
type is str("2e-4") for backwards compatibility) so existing call
sites that float() the value continue to work.
Verified:
- learning_rate=-1 -> 422 "learning_rate must be > 0 (got -1.0);
typical range is 1e-6 .. 1e-3".
- learning_rate='abc' -> 422 "must be parseable as float".
- batch_size=-1 / 0 / 999999 -> 422 "batch_size must be in [1, 1024]".
- batch_size='two' -> 422 (pydantic int parser).
- max_steps=0 / -5 -> 422 "must be a positive int".
- max_seq_length=200000 -> 422 "must be in [1, 131072]".
- warmup_ratio=2.5 -> 422 "must be in [0.0, 1.0]".
- lora_dropout=1.5 -> 422 "must be in [0.0, 1.0)".
- Valid request with learning_rate='2e-4', batch_size=1, max_steps=5
passes validation and the training run starts as normal.
* studio: redact image-decode errors, clean checkpoint dirs on cancel, tolerate Stop-button + tool-result message shapes
Three small fixes that fall under "do not let the audit findings
become user-visible papercuts".
routes/inference.py - image-decode error redaction (the audit hit
this with a 0-byte / malformed / wrong-extension image upload). The
three image-normalise sites previously raised HTTPException(400,
detail=f"Failed to process image: {e}"). When PIL raised
UnidentifiedImageError(io.BytesIO(raw)) the message string included
"<_io.BytesIO object at 0x7e40a5d7bf60>", leaking both the Python
class name (confirming the PIL/io stack) and a heap address (mildly
useful for ASLR-bypass chaining if another memory-corruption bug is
ever found). Each site now catches UnidentifiedImageError and
returns the generic "Unsupported or corrupt image format"; the
fall-through generic except returns "Failed to process image". No
exception-repr is interpolated into a response body anywhere along
these paths.
core/training/training.py - checkpoint cleanup on cancel. When a
user clicks Cancel Training, the trainer flips _cancel_requested=True
and the supervisor force-terminates the subprocess. The trainer
writes checkpoint-<step> directories under output_dir every
save_steps; previously these survived the cancel and accumulated on
disk (the audit recorded ~67 MB stuck after a 200-step cancel with
save_steps=20). New helper _cleanup_cancelled_checkpoints(output_dir)
globs checkpoint-<int> entries and removes them. It is gated by a
realpath containment check against outputs_root() so it cannot
accidentally rmtree anything outside the configured outputs root.
force_terminate() invokes the helper after the subprocess join when
_cancel_requested is true. Stop-and-Save runs are unaffected because
that path keeps _cancel_requested=False.
models/inference.py - chat message shape tolerance. Two related
frontend interactions used to crash the request validator:
- After the Stop button truncates a generation, the frontend
retained {role:"assistant", content:""} in the conversation
history and replayed it on the next send. ChatMessage previously
required role="assistant" to have non-empty content or tool_calls,
so the next message returned 422 and the thread was permanently
broken. The validator now normalises empty assistant content to
None so the request round-trips and the trailing empty turn can
be ignored downstream.
- The frontend's second-round tool POST drops the streamed
tool_call_id, hitting the strict-spec check "role=tool requires
tool_call_id". The validator now synthesises an opaque id
(call_<8 hex>) when missing, so the request reaches the handler
and the model's final summarising response gets generated. The
proper fix lives in the frontend (carry the streamed id through
the second POST) and will follow.
Verified end to end with curl: HTTP 400 (model not loaded) on both
the empty-assistant history shape and the tool-result-without-id
shape, instead of HTTP 422 from the schema validator.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* studio: tighten code comments from security-hardening pass
Trim verbose docstrings and inline finding references added in the
previous commits in this branch. Functionality unchanged.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

* studio: await get_current_subject in /api/health and make refresh-token consumption atomic
The /api/health auth probe called get_current_subject(creds) without
awaiting it. The coroutine object is truthy, so any caller presenting a
Bearer header (valid or not) received the full diagnostic payload
including version, device_type, studio_root_id, etc. Await the coroutine
and treat HTTPException as 'fall back to the minimal liveness payload'.
consume_refresh_token did SELECT then DELETE WHERE id under default
autocommit isolation. Two concurrent POST /api/auth/refresh requests
could both win the SELECT before either DELETE ran, defeating
single-use refresh-token rotation. Replace with a single
DELETE ... WHERE token_hash = ? AND expires_at >= ? RETURNING ...
statement so the validate-and-delete lands as one atomic op under
SQLite's write lock (3.45.1 supports RETURNING; min was 3.35).
* studio: enforce body cap on chunked uploads and drop unsafe-inline from script-src
MaxBodyMiddleware previously only inspected the declared Content-Length
header; clients omitting it or sending Transfer-Encoding: chunked
bypassed the cap and could still drive an OOM via the downstream
JSON / file readers on /v1/chat/completions, /api/inference, /api/data-recipe,
/api/datasets, /api/train, /api/export. Rewrite as a raw ASGI middleware
that drains and counts http.request frames, replies 413 once the running
total exceeds UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB before invoking the FastAPI
handler, and replays the buffered body to downstream so route code that
calls request.json() / await request.body() works unchanged.
CSP previously included 'unsafe-inline' on script-src, which defeats the
main XSS protection. The frontend bundle does not need inline scripts;
the only inline <script> the backend ever emits is _inject_bootstrap,
which is opt-in via UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP. Drop 'unsafe-inline'
from script-src by default; when _inject_bootstrap fires, generate a
per-response nonce, embed it on the inlined <script>, and have
SecurityHeadersMiddleware splice 'nonce-XXX' into the CSP for that one
response (the internal x-internal-script-nonce header is popped before
the response leaves the server). 'unsafe-inline' stays on style-src for
Vite-injected styles.
* studio: drop empty assistant sentinel before passthrough
ChatMessage._validate_role_shape normalises role="assistant", content=""
(the post-Stop sentinel emitted by the frontend) to content=None so the
in-process path can drop it via _extract_content_parts. The passthrough
path then ran m.model_dump(exclude_none=True), which strips the now-None
content key entirely, sending {"role":"assistant"} to llama-server / the
OpenAI-compat backend. That fails upstream and leaves the user without a
recoverable Stop->resume.
Add _drop_empty_assistant_sentinels and call it at both passthrough
message origins: _openai_messages_for_passthrough (covers
/v1/chat/completions and the Responses API which routes through it) and
the anthropic_messages_to_openai output before
_anthropic_passthrough_*. Assistant messages that carry only tool_calls
(no content) are preserved.
* studio/tests: cover audit-fix surfaces and rebase pre-existing tests
Adds and updates pytest coverage for the four bot-flagged audit fixes
landed earlier in this branch and rebases two pre-existing tests that
were broken by the relaxed-validator and /api/health auth-gate changes.
studio/backend/tests/test_middleware.py (new)
MaxBodyMiddleware: small protected, large declared, unprotected
passthrough, chunked-upload-over-cap rejection (the regression for
the original Content-Length-only gap), and chunked-under-cap replay.
SecurityHeadersMiddleware: script-src no longer carries
'unsafe-inline', style-src still does, default headers
(XFO/XCTO/Referrer-Policy/Permissions-Policy/server), and the
internal x-internal-script-nonce header is consumed by the
middleware and converted to 'nonce-XXX' in the CSP.
/api/health: no auth -> minimal, invalid Bearer -> minimal
(the await regression), valid Bearer -> full diagnostic payload.
studio/backend/tests/test_desktop_auth.py
consume_refresh_token: second-call returns None, expired returns
None, and a 64-thread concurrent pile-up against the same hash
produces exactly one successful consumer (regression for the
SELECT-then-DELETE race).
test_health_response_reports_desktop_capability_fields: rebase
against the new health_check(request) signature by going through
TestClient with a real bearer instead of asyncio.run-ing the
handler directly.
studio/backend/tests/test_openai_tool_passthrough.py
Pin the new ChatMessage tolerance: assistant without content or
tool_calls is tolerated (normalises content -> None), empty-string
and empty-list assistant content normalise to None, and a missing
/ empty tool_call_id on role='tool' is synthesised as call_<hex>
rather than raising. Tests for _drop_empty_assistant_sentinels
cover the three drop shapes (empty string, empty list, missing
content key), preservation of assistant text and tool_calls-only
messages, and end-to-end through
_openai_messages_for_passthrough.
studio/backend/main.py
SecurityHeadersMiddleware.dispatch used response.headers.pop(...)
for the nonce-header handoff; Starlette's MutableHeaders has no
pop. Read-then-del so the internal handoff header is still
stripped before the response leaves the server.
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci
* studio/tests: rebase three more pre-existing CI tests against this branch
CI on PR #5375 was red on three tests that were tuned for behaviour
predating this branch. Updates each so the assertions match what the
audit fixes intentionally changed; no production code touched.
studio/backend/tests/test_trained_model_scan.py
test_scan_trained_models_includes_lora_and_full_finetune_outputs
passed an absolute tmp_path through scan_trained_models, which now
runs resolve_output_dir / _assert_contained against outputs_root().
Repoint outputs_root() at tmp_path via monkeypatch so the fixture
dirs land under the configured root and the realpath containment
check passes.
tests/test_studio_install_workspace_guard.py
test_health_endpoint_exposes_studio_root_id_not_raw_path read
the first 1500 bytes after @app.get("/api/health") and asserted on
the studio_root_id literal. The handler grew (unauth short-circuit
+ await dependency gate) and the literal slid past the byte window.
Replace the fixed window with a slice up to the next top-level
@app.* decorator so the test surveys the whole handler regardless
of size.
tests/studio/studio_api_smoke.py
The "login burst (5x wrong pw) -> 401 each" assertion was tagged
"When/if we add one, this assertion updates in the same PR." We
added the per-IP rate-limit in routes/auth.py
(_LOGIN_MAX_FAILS=5/60s) but missed the assertion update. Rewrite
the burst probe to observe the new invariant: at least one 401,
eventual transition to 429, and Retry-After present on the 429.
Adds a small _login_with_headers helper since the existing login()
helper drops response headers.

* ci(studio-ui): set UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP=1 for Playwright Studios
The Chat UI Playwright test drives the first-boot change-password
form, which (per playwright_chat_ui.py step "1. Change-password
through the UI") pre-seeds the hidden current_password field from
window.__UNSLOTH_BOOTSTRAP__. That global is only emitted when the
backend's _inject_bootstrap path fires, which since the security
pass on this branch is gated behind UNSLOTH_STUDIO_INJECT_BOOTSTRAP
and defaults to off. Without the global, the React form's
current_password validator never satisfies, the submit button stays
disabled, and the composer.wait_for() probe times out on
/change-password.
Re-enable injection only for the CI Studios that drive the chat UI
across linux/mac/windows. Production deployments are unaffected: the
env var has to be explicitly opted into, and the on-disk
auth/.bootstrap_password remains the source of truth for human users
typing the password in by hand.
Covers all eight Studio launch sites: the primary chat-ui boot and
the "extra UI tests" boot for each of the three OSes, plus the
pipeTransport JSON-crash retry relaunches in the macOS workflow that
re-spawn Studio mid-job.
A follow-up frontend PR will add a visible current_password input so
the form satisfies its own validator without needing the bootstrap
auto-fill at all; once that lands this CI knob can come back out.
* studio/sandbox: drop unshare(CLONE_NEWNET); add trusted-host allowlist; block sandbox file uploads; raise CPU rlimit default to 600 s
CLONE_NEWNET inside _sandbox_preexec silently killed every outbound
HTTP request from sandboxed Python whenever the kernel allowed
unprivileged user namespaces. requests.get('https://huggingface.co'),
urllib.request.urlopen('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...'),
socket.connect(('arxiv.org', 443)) all failed despite the AST visitor
intending to allow them. The bash blocklist (curl / wget / nc / ssh /
scp / sftp / rsync / socat / eval / source) plus the AST-level
metadata-host denylist still carry the network policy after this
change; CLONE_NEWNET was redundant with both.
Add _TRUSTED_PUBLIC_HOST_LITERALS + _TRUSTED_PUBLIC_HOST_SUFFIXES
(~100 informational hosts: Wikipedia language subdomains, Wikimedia,
Wikidata, Google search, Bing, DuckDuckGo, HuggingFace, GitHub,
raw.githubusercontent.com, arXiv, StackOverflow / Stack Exchange,
MDN, docs.python.org, PyTorch / TensorFlow / NumPy / pandas docs,
pypi / files.pythonhosted.org / npmjs / crates.io, ReadTheDocs,
arXiv, Britannica, BBC / Reuters / Nature / Science, NASA / CDC /
NIH / WHO open data, api.weather.gov). The visitor now blocks
literal hosts that are neither metadata nor trusted with a short
LLM-readable string so the model can retry with an allowed source
instead of choking on a multi-line error.
Block upload-shape calls regardless of host: requests.post / put /
patch / delete / request with files= or data=open(...) /
data=bytes_literal; httpx equivalents; urllib.request.urlopen /
Request with data=...; HuggingFace upload_file / upload_folder /
upload_large_folder / create_commit (module-level FQ paths AND
method-name match on any receiver). Message: "Blocked: file upload
disallowed in sandbox".
Bump UNSLOTH_STUDIO_SANDBOX_CPU_S default 300 -> 600 s so long
agentic chains that span multiple tool calls don't get SIGXCPU'd
mid-stride. Env-var override path is unchanged.
Host normalisation now strips trailing dot, userinfo @, and explicit
port before allowlist / denylist comparison so trailing-DNS-dot,
userinfo-smuggling, and explicit-:443 URLs are decided correctly.
* studio: raise default request-body cap from 100 MB to 500 MB
UNSLOTH_STUDIO_MAX_BODY_MB default goes 100 -> 500 to comfortably
cover vision + audio + multi-recipe-batch JSON payloads. The
MaxBodyMiddleware stream-counting logic from this branch's earlier
