338 Safe - Compile and execute code in restricted compartments
344 $compartment = new Safe;
346 $compartment->permit(qw(time sort :browse));
348 $result = $compartment->reval($unsafe_code);
352 The Safe extension module allows the creation of compartments
353 in which perl code can be evaluated. Each compartment has
357 =item a new namespace
359 The "root" of the namespace (i.e. "main::") is changed to a
360 different package and code evaluated in the compartment cannot
361 refer to variables outside this namespace, even with run-time
362 glob lookups and other tricks.
364 Code which is compiled outside the compartment can choose to place
365 variables into (or I<share> variables with) the compartment's namespace
366 and only that data will be visible to code evaluated in the
369 By default, the only variables shared with compartments are the
370 "underscore" variables $_ and @_ (and, technically, the less frequently
371 used %_, the _ filehandle and so on). This is because otherwise perl
372 operators which default to $_ will not work and neither will the
373 assignment of arguments to @_ on subroutine entry.
375 =item an operator mask
377 Each compartment has an associated "operator mask". Recall that
378 perl code is compiled into an internal format before execution.
379 Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes
380 the code to be compiled into an internal format and then,
381 provided there was no error in the compilation, executed.
382 Code evaluated in a compartment compiles subject to the
383 compartment's operator mask. Attempting to evaluate code in a
384 compartment which contains a masked operator will cause the
385 compilation to fail with an error. The code will not be executed.
387 The default operator mask for a newly created compartment is
388 the ':default' optag.
390 It is important that you read the L<Opcode> module documentation
391 for more information, especially for detailed definitions of opnames,
394 Since it is only at the compilation stage that the operator mask
395 applies, controlled access to potentially unsafe operations can
396 be achieved by having a handle to a wrapper subroutine (written
397 outside the compartment) placed into the compartment. For example,
401 # vet arguments and perform potentially unsafe operations
403 $cpt->share('&wrapper');

420 =head2 RECENT CHANGES
422 The interface to the Safe module has changed quite dramatically since
423 version 1 (as supplied with Perl5.002). Study these pages carefully if
424 you have code written to use Safe version 1 because you will need to
428 =head2 Methods in class Safe
430 To create a new compartment, use
434 Optional argument is (NAMESPACE), where NAMESPACE is the root namespace
435 to use for the compartment (defaults to "Safe::Root0", incremented for
436 each new compartment).
438 Note that version 1.00 of the Safe module supported a second optional
439 parameter, MASK. That functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper
440 consideration. Use the permit and deny methods described below.
442 The following methods can then be used on the compartment
443 object returned by the above constructor. The object argument
444 is implicit in each case.
449 =item permit (OP, ...)
451 Permit the listed operators to be used when compiling code in the
452 compartment (in I<addition> to any operators already permitted).
454 You can list opcodes by names, or use a tag name; see
455 L<Opcode/"Predefined Opcode Tags">.
457 =item permit_only (OP, ...)
459 Permit I<only> the listed operators to be used when compiling code in
460 the compartment (I<no> other operators are permitted).
464 Deny the listed operators from being used when compiling code in the
465 compartment (other operators may still be permitted).
467 =item deny_only (OP, ...)
469 Deny I<only> the listed operators from being used when compiling code
470 in the compartment (I<all> other operators will be permitted).
474 =item untrap (OP, ...)
476 The trap and untrap methods are synonyms for deny and permit
479 =item share (NAME, ...)
481 This shares the variable(s) in the argument list with the compartment.
482 This is almost identical to exporting variables using the L<Exporter>
485 Each NAME must be the B<name> of a non-lexical variable, typically
486 with the leading type identifier included. A bareword is treated as a
489 Examples of legal names are '$foo' for a scalar, '@foo' for an
490 array, '%foo' for a hash, '&foo' or 'foo' for a subroutine and '*foo'
491 for a glob (i.e. all symbol table entries associated with "foo",
492 including scalar, array, hash, sub and filehandle).
494 Each NAME is assumed to be in the calling package. See share_from
495 for an alternative method (which share uses).
497 =item share_from (PACKAGE, ARRAYREF)
499 This method is similar to share() but allows you to explicitly name the
500 package that symbols should be shared from. The symbol names (including
501 type characters) are supplied as an array reference.
503 $safe->share_from('main', [ '$foo', '%bar', 'func' ]);
506 =item varglob (VARNAME)
508 This returns a glob reference for the symbol table entry of VARNAME in
509 the package of the compartment. VARNAME must be the B<name> of a
510 variable without any leading type marker. For example,
512 $cpt = new Safe 'Root';
513 $Root::foo = "Hello world";
514 # Equivalent version which doesn't need to know $cpt's package name:
515 ${$cpt->varglob('foo')} = "Hello world";
518 =item reval (STRING, STRICT)
520 This evaluates STRING as perl code inside the compartment.
522 The code can only see the compartment's namespace (as returned by the
523 B<root> method). The compartment's root package appears to be the
524 C<main::> package to the code inside the compartment.
526 Any attempt by the code in STRING to use an operator which is not permitted
527 by the compartment will cause an error (at run-time of the main program
528 but at compile-time for the code in STRING). The error is of the form
529 "'%s' trapped by operation mask...".
531 If an operation is trapped in this way, then the code in STRING will
532 not be executed. If such a trapped operation occurs or any other
533 compile-time or return error, then $@ is set to the error message, just
536 If there is no error, then the method returns the value of the last
537 expression evaluated, or a return statement may be used, just as with
538 subroutines and B<eval()>. The context (list or scalar) is determined
539 by the caller as usual.
541 This behaviour differs from the beta distribution of the Safe extension
542 where earlier versions of perl made it hard to mimic the return
543 behaviour of the eval() command and the context was always scalar.
545 The formerly undocumented STRICT argument sets strictness: if true
546 'use strict;' is used, otherwise it uses 'no strict;'. B<Note>: if
547 STRICT is omitted 'no strict;' is the default.
551 If the entereval op is permitted then the code can use eval "..." to
552 'hide' code which might use denied ops. This is not a major problem
553 since when the code tries to execute the eval it will fail because the
554 opmask is still in effect. However this technique would allow clever,
555 and possibly harmful, code to 'probe' the boundaries of what is
558 Any string eval which is executed by code executing in a compartment,
559 or by code called from code executing in a compartment, will be eval'd
560 in the namespace of the compartment. This is potentially a serious
563 Consider a function foo() in package pkg compiled outside a compartment
564 but shared with it. Assume the compartment has a root package called
565 'Root'. If foo() contains an eval statement like eval '$foo = 1' then,
566 normally, $pkg::foo will be set to 1. If foo() is called from the
567 compartment (by whatever means) then instead of setting $pkg::foo, the
568 eval will actually set $Root::pkg::foo.
570 This can easily be demonstrated by using a module, such as the Socket
571 module, which uses eval "..." as part of an AUTOLOAD function. You can
572 'use' the module outside the compartment and share an (autoloaded)
573 function with the compartment. If an autoload is triggered by code in
574 the compartment, or by any code anywhere that is called by any means
575 from the compartment, then the eval in the Socket module's AUTOLOAD
576 function happens in the namespace of the compartment. Any variables
577 created or used by the eval'd code are now under the control of
578 the code in the compartment.
580 A similar effect applies to I<all> runtime symbol lookups in code
581 called from a compartment but not compiled within it.
587 This evaluates the contents of file FILENAME inside the compartment.
588 See above documentation on the B<reval> method for further details.
590 =item root (NAMESPACE)
592 This method returns the name of the package that is the root of the
593 compartment's namespace.
595 Note that this behaviour differs from version 1.00 of the Safe module
596 where the root module could be used to change the namespace. That
597 functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper consideration.
601 This is a get-or-set method for the compartment's operator mask.
603 With no MASK argument present, it returns the current operator mask of
606 With the MASK argument present, it sets the operator mask for the
607 compartment (equivalent to calling the deny_only method).
612 =head2 Some Safety Issues
614 This section is currently just an outline of some of the things code in
615 a compartment might do (intentionally or unintentionally) which can
616 have an effect outside the compartment.
622 Consuming all (or nearly all) available memory.
626 Causing infinite loops etc.
630 Copying private information out of your system. Even something as
631 simple as your user name is of value to others. Much useful information
632 could be gleaned from your environment variables for example.
636 Causing signals (especially SIGFPE and SIGALARM) to affect your process.
638 Setting up a signal handler will need to be carefully considered
639 and controlled. What mask is in effect when a signal handler
640 gets called? If a user can get an imported function to get an
641 exception and call the user's signal handler, does that user's
642 restricted mask get re-instated before the handler is called?
643 Does an imported handler get called with its original mask or
648 Ops such as chdir obviously effect the process as a whole and not just
649 the code in the compartment. Ops such as rand and srand have a similar
650 but more subtle effect.
