Fix chroot bind mounts for ARC/DinD split runner-daemon filesystems by Copilot · Pull Request #2843 · github/gh-aw-firewall

Copilot · 2026-05-10T14:04:54Z

Bug Fix

What was the bug?

AWF chroot bind mounts assumed runner-visible paths were also visible to the Docker daemon. In ARC + DinD split-filesystem setups, mount sources resolved in the daemon namespace, forcing manual pre-staging of required host paths.

How did you fix it?

CLI + prefix handling
- Added --docker-host-path-prefix <prefix> to remap bind-mount source paths to daemon-visible locations.
- For external (non-unix://) DOCKER_HOST, AWF now warns and suggests explicitly setting --docker-host-path-prefix instead of auto-applying /host.
Bind-mount source translation
- Applied prefix translation to bind-mount source paths in agent volume generation, so existing chroot/container target paths remain unchanged.
- Included prefix normalization handling (e.g. trailing slash cleanup).
- Exempted /dev/null source mounts from translation so credential-hiding and docker-socket-hiding overlays remain reliable.
Config/schema/docs parity
- Added container.dockerHostPathPrefix to config mapping and both schema copies.
- Documented CLI/config mapping in awf-config-spec.
Behavioral coverage
- Added tests for:
  - prefix resolution (explicit vs none)
  - mount source translation with custom prefix
  - /dev/null mount-source non-translation
  - prefix normalization
  - config/schema acceptance and mapping for dockerHostPathPrefix

# ARC/DinD example: daemon sees runner filesystem under /host
awf --docker-host-path-prefix /host --allow-domains github.com -- <command>
# e.g. /etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro becomes /host/etc/passwd:/host/etc/passwd:ro

Testing

Added/updated unit tests for prefix resolution, mount translation (including /dev/null behavior), and config/schema mapping.

Pull request overview

This PR adds support for remapping bind-mount source paths to a Docker-daemon-visible filesystem root (e.g. /host) to fix chroot bind mounts in split runner/daemon filesystem setups such as ARC + DinD.

Changes:

Introduces --docker-host-path-prefix / container.dockerHostPathPrefix and wires it through config mapping, CLI, and schemas.
Translates agent bind-mount source paths during volume generation (with prefix normalization).
Adds unit coverage for prefix resolution and mount translation, plus schema/config mapping updates.

@copilot address the review feedback

Addressed in 8b77647.

/dev/null bind-mount sources are now exempt from docker host path prefix translation.
resolveDockerHostPathPrefix() no longer auto-applies /host for external DOCKER_HOST.
CLI now warns and suggests using --docker-host-path-prefix explicitly when needed.
Added test assertions for /dev/null mount behavior with a prefix and updated prefix-resolution expectations.

Defense-in-depth against credential leakage via /proc/*/environ: 1. entrypoint.sh: Mount procfs with hidepid=2 so awfuser cannot read PID 1's /proc/1/environ, which may briefly hold auth tokens before unset_sensitive_tokens() clears them. This also blocks indirect access via /dev/fd → /proc/self/fd symlink traversal. 2. agent-volumes.ts: Add /proc to the kernel virtual filesystem passthrough list alongside /dev and /sys. While /proc is not bind-mounted (it uses mount -t proc), this is a defensive guard against accidental exposure through path prefix translation.

The --docker-host-path-prefix flag from PR #2843 fully supersedes the --arc-dind feature. This merge brings in main (which includes #2841 and #2843) and removes the now-redundant arc-dind module and inline sourcePath() wrappers. Changes: - Delete src/arc-dind.ts and src/arc-dind.test.ts (orphaned) - Remove --arc-dind CLI option, config, schema, and docs - Remove sourcePath() wrappers from all service builders - Keep --docker-host-path-prefix with centralized translation in buildAgentVolumes() and kernel VFS passthrough (/dev, /sys, /proc) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
