From 7ef395488e019ac7e038ce185137ec22385ed369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Dettori Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 14:36:07 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(sandbox): stop ssh_server_init from overwriting /tmp to 0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The SSH server initialization in ssh.rs was setting the parent directory of the SSH socket path (`/tmp`) to mode 0700 after prepare_filesystem had already ensured it was 1777. Since the default socket path is `/tmp/openshell-ssh.sock`, this effectively locked out the sandbox user from /tmp entirely, causing Claude Code to fail with: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/tmp/claude-998/...' Root cause: ssh_server_init called set_permissions(parent, 0o700) on the socket's parent directory to prevent the sandbox user from connecting to the socket. But when the socket lives in /tmp, this clobbers the world-writable sticky bit that other processes depend on. Fix: Remove the parent directory permission restriction. The socket file itself is already set to 0600, which is sufficient to prevent the sandbox user from connecting. Defense-in-depth (lib.rs): - Call ensure_sandbox_process_identity() on the proto policy in load_policy before converting to Rust types, so prepare_filesystem and drop_privileges always see run_as_user/run_as_group even when the server hasn't normalized the policy yet. - Add root-fallback in prepare_filesystem: when no user/group is configured but euid is root, fall back to sandbox:sandbox — matching the same logic in drop_privileges.
