Summary

SingleStoreSearchTool._validate_query treated any string that started with SELECT/SHOW as safe. That lets stacked writes through, e.g. SELECT 1; DROP TABLE employees.

Reject more than one statement (optional trailing ; only), keep the SELECT/SHOW first-token rule, and quote SHOW COLUMNS FROM identifiers. Same class as the MySQL table-name check in #6341; NL2SQL already documents this SELECT 1; DROP TABLE users case.

Added unit tests that exercise the validator without a SingleStore server.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SingleStore search tool now validates read-only SELECT and SHOW queries, rejects stacked statements and unsafe clauses, and removes backticks from table names before constructing SHOW COLUMNS. Unit tests cover the validation rules.

Changes

SingleStore query validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Read-only query validation
lib/crewai-tools/src/crewai_tools/tools/singlestore_search_tool/singlestore_search_tool.py, lib/crewai-tools/tests/tools/test_singlestore_query_validation.py
The validator accepts one SELECT or SHOW statement and one trailing semicolon. It rejects stacked, empty, non-string, write, external SELECT ... INTO, FOR UPDATE, and LOCK IN SHARE MODE queries. Parameterized tests cover these cases.
Table name sanitization
lib/crewai-tools/src/crewai_tools/tools/singlestore_search_tool/singlestore_search_tool.py
Table names have backticks removed before construction of the SHOW COLUMNS query.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to bf963

The validator is intended to allow read-only searches, but the current implementation still permits certain export and assignment forms and can be bypassed with SQL comments, creating concrete data-exposure or mutation risk; it also mishandles valid quoted semicolons. Merge should be blocked until these cases are correctly parsed and rejected.

- Problem: SingleStoreSearchTool._validate_query only checked that the string started with SELECT/SHOW, so SELECT 1; DROP TABLE t was accepted.
- Fix: allow a single SELECT or SHOW statement, reject leftover semicolons, and quote SHOW COLUMNS FROM identifiers.
- Verification: standalone cases for allowed SELECT/SHOW, stacked writes, and non-SELECT first tokens all match the new gate. Full pytest needs the repo uv env (conftest imports dotenv).
…arch

- Problem: CodeRabbit flagged that `SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE/FS/LINK/S3`
  passes validation because the first token is "select", but these clauses
  grant FILE WRITE or OUTBOUND privileges and can write to external storage.
- Fix: Add a regex check after the first-token gate that rejects INTO
  OUTFILE, DUMPFILE, FS, LINK, S3, HDFS, AZURE, GCS, and KAFKA.
- Verification: inline validation exercised against valid queries, stacked
  statements, write commands, and 10 INTO variants — all pass.

381-401: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Reject side-effecting SELECT forms, not just stacked statements.

The validator still accepts SELECT ... FOR UPDATE, which can acquire write locks and block transactions, and it can miss side-effecting INTO forms such as comment-separated targets, INTO STAGE, and INTO @variable``. Parse these clauses outside literals and comments and reject them, while preserving valid literals such as SELECT 'INTO S3' and `SELECT 'a;b'`. Add regression tests for each form.

- Problem: CodeRabbit review flagged that the validator still accepted SELECT
  variants that acquire row locks (FOR UPDATE, LOCK IN SHARE MODE). A
  read-only search tool has no legitimate reason to lock rows, and locks
  can deadlock or block other transactions.
- Fix: Add regex checks after the existing INTO rejection to reject
  FOR UPDATE and LOCK IN SHARE MODE clauses.
- Verification: inline Python test of the validation logic confirms all
  cases — SELECT/SHOW pass, FOR UPDATE/LOCK rejected, stacked/INTO
  rejection unchanged.

392-417: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Parse SQL tokens before enforcing the read-only policy.

Block comments can separate SQL keywords, so INTO/**/S3 and FOR/**/UPDATE bypass the raw regex checks. The semicolon check also rejects valid literals such as SELECT ';'.

Tokenize SQL while preserving quoted literals. Reject comment-separated restricted clauses and semicolon tokens only outside quoted literals. Add regression tests for both cases.
