security: [HIGH] Missing input validation on TWEET_ID and REPLY_TEXT in x-reply.sh

Finding

File: .claude/skills/setup-agent-team/x-reply.sh
Lines: 8-16
Severity: HIGH
Issue: The script checks for presence of TWEET_ID and REPLY_TEXT but does not validate their format or content before passing to the TypeScript OAuth implementation.

Current code:

if [[ -z "${TWEET_ID:-}" ]]; then
    echo '{"ok":false,"error":"TWEET_ID env var is required"}' >&2
    exit 1
fi

if [[ -z "${REPLY_TEXT:-}" ]]; then
    echo '{"ok":false,"error":"REPLY_TEXT env var is required"}' >&2
    exit 1
fi

Risk:

• TWEET_ID: Must be a numeric string. Non-numeric values could cause API errors or unexpected behavior
• REPLY_TEXT: No length validation. Twitter has a 280-character limit; extremely long inputs cause API errors
• REPLY_TEXT: No content validation. Could contain control characters or invalid UTF-8 sequences

Fix: Add validation:

# Validate TWEET_ID is numeric
if [[ \! "${TWEET_ID}" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
    echo '{"ok":false,"error":"TWEET_ID must be numeric"}' >&2
    exit 1
fi

# Validate REPLY_TEXT length (Twitter limit: 280 chars)
REPLY_LENGTH=$(printf '%s' "${REPLY_TEXT}" | wc -m | tr -d ' ')
if [[ "${REPLY_LENGTH}" -gt 280 ]]; then
    echo '{"ok":false,"error":"REPLY_TEXT exceeds 280 characters"}' >&2
    exit 1
fi

Triage Assessment

Category: Security (input validation / shell injection)

Severity: HIGH

Location: .claude/skills/setup-agent-team/ (off-limits for automated refactoring)

Finding: Missing input validation on environment variables passed to shell/TypeScript code. These files are part of the agent team infrastructure and require manual maintainer review.

Recommended action: Escalate to manual security review. These issues are in off-limits directories that are part of the autonomous refactor service infrastructure.

Status: under-review (escalated to manual maintainer)
