alex-clawd 9325e2f6a4 fix: add path and URL validation to RAG tools (#5310)
* fix: add path and URL validation to RAG tools

Add validation utilities to prevent unauthorized file reads and SSRF
when RAG tools accept LLM-controlled paths/URLs at runtime.

Changes:
- New crewai_tools.utilities.safe_path module with validate_file_path(),
  validate_directory_path(), and validate_url()
- File paths validated against base directory (defaults to cwd).
  Resolves symlinks and ../ traversal. Rejects escape attempts.
- URLs validated: file:// blocked entirely. HTTP/HTTPS resolves DNS
  and blocks private/reserved IPs (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x,
  127.x, 169.254.x, 0.0.0.0, ::1, fc00::/7).
- Validation applied in RagTool.add() — catches all RAG search tools
  (JSON, CSV, PDF, TXT, DOCX, MDX, Directory, etc.)
- Removed file:// scheme support from DataTypes.from_content()
- CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS=true env var for backward compat
- 27 tests covering traversal, symlinks, private IPs, cloud metadata,
  IPv6, escape hatch, and valid paths/URLs

* fix: validate path/URL keyword args in RagTool.add()

The original patch validated positional *args but left all keyword
arguments (path=, file_path=, directory_path=, url=, website=,
github_url=, youtube_url=) unvalidated, providing a trivial bypass
for both path-traversal and SSRF checks.

Applies validate_file_path() to path/file_path/directory_path kwargs
and validate_url() to url/website/github_url/youtube_url kwargs before
they reach the adapter. Adds a regression-test file covering all eight
kwarg vectors plus the two existing positional-arg checks.

* fix: address CodeQL and review comments on RAG path/URL validation

- Replace insecure tempfile.mktemp() with inline symlink target in test
- Remove unused 'target' variable and unused tempfile import
- Narrow broad except Exception: pass to only catch urlparse errors;
  validate_url ValueError now propagates instead of being silently swallowed
- Fix ruff B904 (raise-without-from-inside-except) in safe_path.py
- Fix ruff B007 (unused loop variable 'family') in safe_path.py
- Use validate_directory_path in DirectorySearchTool.add() so the
  public utility is exercised in production code

* style: fix ruff format + remaining lint issues

* fix: resolve mypy type errors in RAG path/URL validation

- Cast sockaddr[0] to str() to satisfy mypy (socket.getaddrinfo returns
  sockaddr where [0] is str but typed as str | int)
- Remove now-unnecessary `type: ignore[assignment]` and
  `type: ignore[literal-required]` comments in rag_tool.py

* test: allow tmp paths in RAG data-type tests via CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS

TemporaryDirectory creates files under /tmp/ which is outside CWD and is
correctly blocked by the new path validation.  These tests exercise
data-type handling, not security, so add an autouse fixture that sets
CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS=true for the whole file.  Path/URL
security is covered by test_rag_tool_path_validation.py.

* test: allow tmp paths in search-tool and rag_tool tests via CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS

test_search_tools.py has tests for TXTSearchTool, CSVSearchTool,
MDXSearchTool, JSONSearchTool, and DirectorySearchTool that create
files under /tmp/ via tempfile, which is outside CWD and correctly
blocked by the new path validation.  rag_tool_test.py has one test
that calls tool.add() with a TemporaryDirectory path.

Add the same autouse allow_tmp_paths fixture used in
test_rag_tool_add_data_type.py.  Security is covered separately by
test_rag_tool_path_validation.py.

* fix: address three review comments on path/URL validation

- safe_path._is_private_or_reserved: after unwrapping IPv4-mapped IPv6
  to IPv4, only check against IPv4 networks to avoid TypeError when
  comparing an IPv4Address against IPv6Network objects.
- safe_path.validate_file_path: handle filesystem-root base_dir ('/')
  by not appending os.sep when the base already ends with a separator,
  preventing the '//'-prefix bug.
- rag_tool.add: path-detection heuristic now checks for both '/' and
  os.sep so forward-slash paths are caught on Windows as well as Unix.
