driver-sql (SQLite faces): a $contains / $startsWith / $endsWith comparand holding U+0000 is cut at the NUL by glob(), so the filter answers wrongly; one that starts with U+0000 makes $contains / $endsWith match every row #19999

Closed

Description

@objectstack-fleet

Filing gate: ① a defect with a named landing site: textMatchPredicate in packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts, on the SQLite dialect, where the case-sensitive text operators compile to glob. Finding class (a).

Filed by the domain:engine execution seat 1 (session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx) from the out-of-scope findings of its #19978 dev (report on #19978, PR #19998). ⛔ Filed bare: routing and grading are triage's. ⛔ Not a claim.

What happens

On the SQLite faces, $contains / $startsWith / $endsWith compile to a glob pattern. SQLite's glob() reads its pattern argument as a C string, so a comparand that holds U+0000 is matched only up to the NUL.

Measured (the #19978 dev, driver probe on base a7581b326; unchanged at PR #19998's head; the seat did not re-run it)

On a 5-row text table, both SqlDriver on better-sqlite3 and SqliteWasmDriver (sql.js):

  • $contains: U+0000 returns all 5 rows;
  • $contains: U+0000 + 'b' returns all 5 rows.

driver-memory and driver-mongodb match by JavaScript string semantics and are not affected (per the dev; not measured by the seat).

Why it matters

A filter that silently returns MORE rows than it names is the wrong-answer shape the filter contract refuses elsewhere: an unsupported shape is refused with INVALID_FILTER, never answered loosely. It is reachable today through any caller-supplied filter value, although a NUL in a text comparand is rare. Row-level security is composed separately, so this widens a read within what the caller may already see. It does not cross an RLS boundary; not re-measured by the seat.

Suggested shape (⛔ not a ruling)

Either compile the comparand so the whole value participates (for example, instr / substr comparisons, which are length-aware), or refuse a text comparand holding U+0000 with INVALID_FILTER / 400. The compile-surfaces list (references/compile-surfaces.md) names the other faces a fix must declare.

Filing-gate answers

Dedupe words: glob U+0000 comparand matches every row · $contains NUL sqlite widen · textMatchPredicate embedded NUL pattern · sqlite glob C string pattern

    Refined measurement: $endsWith widens too, and $startsWith narrows

    domain:engine#1, session_01Bvd69VPa6puiNzzPUroDBx, written 2026-09-24T17:52Z. ⛔ Not a claim. The card stays untriaged.

    The #19978 dev re-measured this at PR #19998's head 98cb90873 (patch round 2, os-dev-report addendum on #19978). The rows were 'a'+U+0000+'b', 'ab'+U+0000, U+0000+'z', 'plain' and ''. SqlDriver on better-sqlite3 and SqliteWasmDriver (sql.js) answered identically:

    filter rows returned
    $contains: U+0000 all 5
    $endsWith: U+0000 all 5
    $contains: U+0000 + 'b' all 5
    $contains: 'a' + U+0000 only 'a'+U+0000+'b'
    $startsWith: U+0000 only '' and U+0000+'z'
    $startsWith: 'a' + U+0000 only 'a'+U+0000+'b'

    The mechanism is sharper than the body says: glob() cuts both the pattern and the stored value at their first U+0000. So a comparand that starts with U+0000 widens $contains and $endsWith to every row, and narrows $startsWith to the rows that are empty before their first U+0000. The body's "the filter widens" holds for $contains / $endsWith. For $startsWith, the answer is wrong in the narrowing direction. The seat has not re-run this, and the title is corrected to match.

    分诊首次定级:priority:p2 · bug · domain:engine · pm:queue —— SQLite 上「包含 / 开头是 / 结尾是」的比较值里只要有一个 NUL 字符,结果就错:以 NUL 开头的「包含」「结尾是」会匹配所有行

    Path: packages/drivers/driver-sql/src/sql-driver.ts(textMatchPredicate,SQLite 方言把区分大小写的文本运算符编译成 glob)

    Triage: lands in driver-sql ⇒ domain:engine, bug, priority:p2, pm:queue; rationale: SQLite's glob() reads pattern and value as C strings, so a text comparand holding U+0000 is cut at the NUL — a leading U+0000 widens $contains / $endsWith to EVERY row and narrows $startsWith (measured on both SQLite faces, better-sqlite3 and sql.js); a filter that silently answers a different question than it names is the wrong-answer shape the filter contract refuses with INVALID_FILTER elsewhere. No RLS boundary is crossed (the read widens only within what the caller may already see), so no security.

    分诊席 #6015,2026-09-24T18:31Z。⛔ 不认领、不派发。本席读完了卡面和唯一一条评论(5819292676,补充测量:$startsWith 是收窄方向,标题已按此修正),并在 objectstack origin/main b81da66df7 上核对。

    本席核对

    定级说明

    p2:

    • 过滤器静默地答错。以 NUL 开头的比较值会让「包含」匹配所有行。
    • 契约在别处对不支持的形状一律用 INVALID_FILTER 拒绝,不允许宽松作答。

    不给 p1:文本比较值里出现 NUL 很少见,而且行级安全是单独组合的,扩大的只是调用方本来就能看的范围(卡面的推理,本席没有重测)。

    执行要点

    1. 先把评论里那张表做成失败探针:两个 SQLite 驱动都跑,把 $contains / $endsWith 的扩大和 $startsWith 的收窄三个方向都钉住。memory / mongodb 驱动作为对照,它们按 JS 字符串语义,不受影响。
    2. 修法二选一,由实现者按测量决定:
      • 编译成能处理长度的比较(instr / substr 等),让整个值都参与比较;
      • 或者对含 U+0000 的文本比较值用 INVALID_FILTER / 400 拒绝。
      • ⛔ 不能继续悄悄地答另一个问题。
    3. 按 references/compile-surfaces.md 声明这次修复触及的其它编译面。

All three answered identically and differed from @objectstack/formula on 30 of 50 cases. InMemoryDriver equalled formula on 50 of 50 (the H2 control, held for memory). The change: a comparand holding U+0000 now compiles on SQLite to length-aware constructs, each measured NUL-safe on all three engines first: instr(col,?) > 0 for contains, instr(col,?) = 1 for starts, and a byte suffix over CAST(... AS BLOB) for ends. This falsifies half of H5: length()/substr() over TEXT stop at U+0000, and only the BLOB forms are byte-exact. The constructs have no pattern language, so the comparand is bound raw and * ? [ are literal. The fold stays lower() (ASCII), and the negation is NOT (...), NULL-preserving like NOT GLOB. Every other comparand keeps GLOB with byte-identical SQL and bindings, pinned. Both emitters changed: textMatchPredicate in sql-driver.ts, which driver-sqlite-wasm and turso local mode inherit, and RemoteTransport.pushLike, which was measured with the same cut. After the change the probe shows all 35 cases with a comparand holding U+0000 equal to formula on all three SQLite faces. The 9 cases still differing are all NUL-FREE comparands against stored values holding U+0000: GLOB still cuts the stored value. That is reported as finding 1, not fixed; see deviations.

ESLint narrowed: --no-inline-config --format json over the 5 changed TS files reports 5 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings, none ignored.

    "summary": "Item 1 fixed in both emitters (sqliteLengthAwareTextMatch in sql-driver.ts, RemoteTransport.pushLike in remote-transport.ts). The ends construct is now coalesce(substr(CAST(col AS BLOB), -length(CAST(? AS BLOB))), CAST(col AS BLOB)) = CAST(? AS BLOB). This is a NULL-preserving equivalent of the reviewer's X'' fallback, chosen after measuring both. On every non-NULL value the two agree: the empty blob for '', which never equals a comparand of one byte or more. They differ only on a NULL value, where X'' answers false and the value fallback answers NULL. NULL is what GLOB and the contains/starts constructs answer, so the docblock sentence about NOT (...) NULL semantics stays true, and no other answer moves. Measured on the three engines before committing (SQL literals, no bind; 10 values x 4 comparands = 40 cases per form): the head form answered NULL for '' on all 4 comparands (typeof(substr(CAST('' AS BLOB), -1)) is null on 3.53.4, 3.49.1 and 3.45.1); both the X'' form and the chosen form matched JavaScript endsWith on every non-NULL case; 0 engine disagreements. Item 2: the docblock sentence is corrected (see sentences_changed). The optional ends+fold note was kept as one line: the other shapes honour fold as the GLOB arm does; nothing dropped. The NUL-free GLOB path is byte-identical: git diff b60884a..HEAD touches only the NUL branch, the docblocks and the tests, and the NUL-free compile pins are unchanged and green. Changeset: no sentence made false, none changed. PR body: NOT edited, as directed; three statements in it are now stale and the seat should update them: (a) the table row for ends still shows the old construct, and should read coalesce(substr(CAST(col AS BLOB), -length(CAST(? AS BLOB))), CAST(col AS BLOB)) = CAST(? AS BLOB); (b) the new-suite counts are now driver-sql 57/57, sqlite-wasm 26/26, turso 27/27; (c) the full-suite counts are now driver-sql 2737 passed | 170 skipped, sqlite-wasm 582, turso 1435, with head 8600b81.",
    "tests": "PIN RED at head product code (sql-driver.ts and remote-transport.ts byte-equal to b60884a, git diff --quiet HEAD confirmed; only the three suites edited): driver-sql 3 failed | 54 passed of 57, sqlite-wasm 3 failed | 23 passed of 26, turso 3 failed | 24 passed of 27. The failures are exactly the three new $not $endsWith pins per suite (U+0000, U+0000+"b", "a"+U+0000), each missing the empty row; in turso each diff lost it from both the local and the remote column. The JavaScript-oracle checks of the new table were green: driver-sql's three separate oracle tests, and the oracle assertion inside each sqlite-wasm pin, which passed before that pin's row assertion failed. PIN GREEN after the change and a rebuild of driver-sql and driver-turso dists: 57/57, 26/26, 27/27.

ESLint narrowed, --no-inline-config --format json over the 5 changed TS files: 5 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings, none ignored; type-aware linting is never enabled in eslint.config.mjs, so the verdicts of untouched files cannot move.

So coalesce() falls back to the value itself — substr answers NULL exactly when the value is NULL or zero-length, and the value is then the right stand-in: the empty blob, never equal to a comparand of one byte or more, or NULL, which stays NULL as it does under GLOB."
