* fix: harden local data boundaries
Bind the capabilities dashboard exclusively to loopback and reject untrusted Host and Origin values. Constrain project-configured agent data paths to the Cursor data root, and harden lifecycle repair/uninstall operations against state-file traversal, symlink swaps, unsafe sources, and forged install-state destinations.\n\nCloses #2506
* fix: eliminate repair source read race
Read source bytes and mode from one no-follow file descriptor so a path replacement cannot mix metadata from one inode with content from another. Add a regression that rejects separate path-based source metadata lookup.
* fix: close dashboard hardening review gaps
Critical: project-local install-state (e.g. a cloned repo's .cursor/ecc-install-state.json)
is attacker-controllable, and repair/uninstall/auto-update replayed its operations with
destinationPath validated only for non-emptiness — confirmed arbitrary file write/delete
and chained RCE (write ~/.bashrc, .git/hooks, or run a planted install-apply.js).
- New scripts/lib/path-safety.js: assertWithinTrustedRoot() canonicalizes (incl. symlink
escape via nearest-existing-ancestor realpath) and fails closed unless the destination is
within the adapter-derived trusted root.
- install-lifecycle.js: gate executeRepairOperation + executeUninstallOperation + the
install-state removal against record.targetRoot (the adapter-resolved root, NOT the
attacker-supplied state.target.root).
- auto-update.js: validateRepoRoot now requires package.json name to be an official ECC
package, so a planted nested repo can't drive auto-update into executing attacker code.
- 7 containment regression tests. Existing install-lifecycle/repair/uninstall/auto-update
suites still green (legit destinations are within the root).
