Summary

Address high severity security finding in native/src/core/deny/logcat.cpp.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID utils.custom.buffer-overflow-strcpy
Severity HIGH
Scanner semgrep
Rule utils.custom.buffer-overflow-strcpy
File native/src/core/deny/logcat.cpp:95
Assessment Pattern match — needs manual review

Description: Unsafe C buffer function used without size checking. This can lead to buffer overflow vulnerabilities. Use size-bounded alternatives like strncpy(), strncat(), snprintf(), or fgets().

Evidence

Scanner confirmation: semgrep rule utils.custom.buffer-overflow-strcpy matched this pattern as utils.custom.buffer-overflow-strcpy.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Changes

  • native/src/core/deny/logcat.cpp

Note: The following lines in the same file use a similar pattern and may also need review: native/src/core/deny/logcat.cpp:102, native/src/core/deny/logcat.cpp:152

Behavior Preservation

The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path, and the project's existing tests still pass, so intended behavior is unchanged.

Verification

  • Build passes
  • Scanner re-scan confirms fix
  • LLM code review passed

This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.
