POST /api/file/globalCopyFiles reads source files using filepath.Abs() with no workspace boundary check, relying solely on util.IsSensitivePath() whose blocklist omits /proc/, /run/secrets/, and home directory dotfiles. An admin can copy /proc/1/environ or Docker secrets into the workspace and read them via the standard file API.
File: kernel/api/file.go - function globalCopyFiles
for i, src := range srcs {
absSrc, _ := filepath.Abs(src)
if util.IsSensitivePath(absSrc) {
return
}
srcs[i] = absSrc
}
destDir := filepath.Join(util.WorkspaceDir, destDir)
for _, src := range srcs {
dest := filepath.Join(destDir, filepath.Base(src))
filelock.Copy(src, dest) // copies unchecked sensitive file into workspace
}
IsSensitivePath blocklist (kernel/util/path.go):
prefixes := []string{"/etc/ssh", "/root", "/etc", "/var/lib/", "/."}

In containerized deployments this includes all injected secrets and environment variables - a common pattern for passing credentials to containers. The exfiltrated files are then accessible via the standard workspace file API and persist until manually deleted.
