Analysis
-
Critical Security Vulnerability: The
/playwright/executeendpoint enables arbitrary JavaScript/TypeScript code execution without sandboxing or validation, creating a severe code injection risk. -
Insufficient Resource Protection: The implementation lacks proper resource limits beyond basic timeouts, making the system vulnerable to resource exhaustion attacks.
-
Potential Data Exposure: Executed code has unrestricted access to the runtime environment, potentially leading to information disclosure of sensitive system data.
-
Privilege Control Issues: Code runs with the same privileges as the server, enabling potential privilege escalation and unauthorized access to system resources.

@tembo after running make oapi-generate, there should be a new method for this endpoint on strictserverinterface in oapi.go, of which Service is an implementor of. use that

Updated the Node.js version to 22.x in both Dockerfile locations as requested and made several architectural improvements to the playwright execution implementation. Code now stores user scripts in temporary files rather than passing as command arguments, increased the default timeout to 60 seconds, and uses the proper auto-generated API types from the OpenAPI spec. The endpoint now properly integrates with the API framework rather than being manually registered. |

Removed the playwright install-deps command and removed the review feedback reference as requested. Also updated the unit tests to use the proper approach and added an end-to-end test for the Playwright API functionality. |

Fixed the E2E test to improve error reporting. Added detailed logging of error message, stdout, and stderr when the test fails. Also improved the error message in the assertion by properly displaying the error text when the success flag is false. This should help diagnose the cause of the test failure mentioned in the feedback. |

i think the problem is that we install playwright globally in the dockerfile, but are we configuring the execution of this script to point to that global location when resolving node_modules?

I've added the NODE_PATH environment variable to resolve the 'playwright' module in the executor script. This should fix the test failure by ensuring the globally installed playwright package can be properly located. |

|
Updated the WebSocket URL and import statements as requested. The script now uses 'ws://' protocol for connecting to Chrome DevTools Protocol and proper ES module imports instead of CommonJS require statements. |
Fixed the NODE_PATH issue by adding the environment variable to both Dockerfiles. This ensures that globally installed modules like Playwright can be properly resolved by the Node.js runtime without needing to set it in the executor command. |
