Fix when convenient. | + +--- + +### 6.2 CRITICAL: Telegram Bot Token Exposed in Process Listings + +**Location:** Lines 598-606 (`send_to_telegram()`) + +**Description:** +The Telegram bot token is passed as a subprocess argument to `curl`, making it visible in the process command line. On any Unix system, any user can view all running processes' command lines via `ps aux` or `/proc/*/cmdline`. + +**Proof of Concept:** +```bash +# While the script is running (or just after it finishes): +ps aux | grep curl + +# Output reveals token: +# curl -s https://api.telegram.org/bot123456789:ABCdefGHI/sendMessage -d chat_id=... -d text=... +``` + +**Impact:** +- Any user on a shared system can steal the bot token +- Attacker can send arbitrary messages from the bot +- Attacker can use the bot for spam, phishing, or social engineering +- If the bot is in group chats, attacker can extract member information + +**Fix:** +Use curl with `--oauth2-bearer` or environment variable approach. The bot token should NEVER appear in the command line. Recommended fix: + +```python +import os + +def send_to_telegram(...): + bot_token = os.environ.get("BOT_TOKEN") + chat_id = os.environ.get("CHAT_ID") + if not bot_token or not chat_id: + return + + env = os.environ.copy() + # Use a temp file or proper curl auth method + # Actually Telegram bot tokens cannot be passed via header + # Instead: use Python's requests library which handles this securely + # OR: write token to a file with 0600 perms and use curl's --config option +``` + +**Proper fix using Python `requests` library:** +```python +import requests + +def send_to_telegram(...): + bot_token = os.environ.get("BOT_TOKEN") + chat_id = os.environ.get("CHAT_ID") + if not bot_token or not chat_id: + return + + url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{bot_token}/sendMessage" + payload = {"chat_id": chat_id, "text": text, "parse_mode": "HTML"} + # Token stays in memory, never in command line + resp = requests.post(url, data=payload, timeout=10) +``` + +**Interim mitigation:** If you must use curl, write the token to a temporary file with mode 0600 and use curl's `--config` flag, then delete the file immediately after. + +--- + +### 6.3 HIGH: HTML Injection in Telegram Messages (XSS-adjacent) + +**Location:** Lines 614-661 (`send_to_telegram()`) + +**Description:** +Event titles and other data from the Polymarket API are inserted directly into Telegram messages with `parse_mode=HTML`. No HTML escaping is performed. Characters like `<`, `>`, `&` are not escaped. + +**Attack scenario:** +1. Polymarket (or an attacker who compromises Polymarket data) includes a malicious title like: + - `` + - `` + - `Team A & Team B` (ampersand not escaped renders as `&amp;` or breaks parsing) +2. The bot sends this to Telegram +3. Telegram renders the HTML, potentially executing JavaScript in the context of the Telegram web client + +**Note:** Telegram's HTML parser is restrictive (``, ``, ``, etc. only), so classic XSS is limited. However: +- Malformed HTML can crash the Telegram client +- Attribute-based injections in `` tags could be possible +- The `<` and `>` characters themselves are illegal in Telegram HTML and will cause parse errors + +**Current vulnerable code (simplified):** +```python +title = e.get("title", "?") +lines.append(f"{i}. {title_clean}") +# title_clean is title.split(" - ")[0].strip() -- no HTML escaping +``` + +**Fix:** +```python +import html + +def escape_html(text): + """Escape HTML special characters for Telegram.""" + return (text + .replace("&", "&") + .replace("<", "<") + .replace(">", ">") + .replace('"', """)) + +title = e.get("title", "?") +title_escaped = escape_html(title_clean) +lines.append(f"{i}. {title_escaped}") +``` + +--- + +### 6.4 MEDIUM: Insufficient Input Sanitization on `--search` Parameter + +**Location:** Line 39 (`fetch_page()`) + +**Description:** +The `--search` argument is only sanitized with `.replace(' ', '%20')`. This only handles spaces. Other URL-sensitive characters (`#`, `?`, `&`, `%`, `+`, etc.) are not properly URL-encoded. + +**Attack scenario:** +A user passes `--search "Team%20A"` expecting to search for "Team%20A" literally, but `%20` gets decoded to a space by the URL parser, searching for "Team A" instead. + +More concerning: if the search term contains `#`, it could truncate the query: +```bash +--search "Team#A" -> URL becomes ?q=Team#A&limit=50... +# Everything after # is treated as URL fragment, not part of the query +``` + +**Current code:** +```python +url = (f"{base}?q={q.replace(' ', '%20')}&limit={PAGE_SIZE}&page={page}" + f"&search_profiles=false&search_tags=false" + f"&keep_closed_markets=0&events_status=active&cache=false") +``` + +**Fix:** +Use `urllib.parse.quote()` for proper URL encoding: +```python +from urllib.parse import quote + +def fetch_page(q, page=1, ...): + base = "https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/public-search" + encoded_q = quote(q, safe='') + url = (f"{base}?q={encoded_q}&limit={PAGE_SIZE}&page={page}" + ...) +``` + +--- + +### 6.5 MEDIUM: No Bounds Checking on `--detail` Argument + +**Location:** Lines 778-785 (`main()`) + +**Description:** +The `--detail N` argument is used to index into `result["match_events"]` without proper bounds checking. While there is a fallback (`idx = 0` if out of range), the logic silently defaults to index 0, which may not be what the user intended. + +```python +idx = args.detail - 1 # User provides 1-indexed +if idx < 0 or idx >= len(result["match_events"]): + idx = 0 # Silently defaults to first event +detail_event = result["match_events"][idx] +``` + +**Impact:** +- Low security impact, but confusing UX +- User expects event #100 but gets event #1 silently + +**Fix:** Warn user if index is out of range instead of silently defaulting. + +--- + +### 6.6 MEDIUM: Potential Denial of Service via Large API Response + +**Location:** Lines 53, 79-81, 357-358, 393-403 + +**Description:** +The code loads the entire API response into memory via `json.loads()`. If a malicious or compromised Polymarket API returned an extremely large JSON payload (gigabytes), the script could exhaust system memory. + +**Additional issue:** `fetch_all_pages()` loops up to 100 pages, each with up to 50 events. While bounded, there's no size limit on individual events or their nested `markets` arrays. + +**Fix:** +```python +# Add response size limits +MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024 # 10MB +if len(r.stdout) > MAX_RESPONSE_SIZE: + raise ValueError(f"API response too large: {len(r.stdout)} bytes") +``` + +--- + +### 6.7 LOW: Bare `except:` Clauses Swallow Security-Relevant Errors + +**Location:** Lines 169, 183, 269, 308, 456 + +**Description:** +Bare `except: pass` catches ALL exceptions including `KeyboardInterrupt`, `SystemExit`, `MemoryError`, and `OSError`. This silently hides errors that might indicate security problems (e.g., timeouts could suggest a DoS attack in progress). + +**Current code:** +```python +try: + end_dt = datetime.fromisoformat(end_str.replace('Z', '+00:00')) + ... +except: + pass # Silently ignores ALL errors +``` + +**Fix:** +```python +try: + end_dt = datetime.fromisoformat(end_str.replace('Z', '+00:00')) + ... +except (ValueError, TypeError): + pass # Only catch expected exceptions +``` + +--- + +### 6.8 LOW: No Rate Limiting on API Calls (DoS vector) + +**Location:** Lines 74-76 (`fetch_all_pages()`) + +**Description:** +An attacker who can pass arguments to this script (e.g., via a web wrapper) could repeatedly call the Polymarket API in a loop, potentially: +1. Getting the user's IP rate-limited or banned by Polymarket +2. Consuming the user's bandwidth +3. Causing resource exhaustion on the host + +**Fix:** Add a cooldown between runs if called repeatedly, or use a token bucket rate limiter. + +--- + +### 6.9 Security Summary Table + +| # | Issue | Severity | Exploitable Remotely | Fix Complexity | +|---|-------|----------|----------------------|----------------| +| 1 | Telegram bot token in process cmdline | CRITICAL | No (local access needed) | Easy | +| 2 | HTML injection in Telegram messages | HIGH | No (needs Polymarket compromise) | Easy | +| 3 | Insufficient `--search` sanitization | MEDIUM | Yes (any user input) | Easy | +| 4 | No bounds check on `--detail` | MEDIUM | Yes (any user input) | Trivial | +| 5 | Large API response can exhaust memory | MEDIUM | Yes (API or MITM) | Easy | +| 6 | Bare `except:` swallows errors | LOW | No | Trivial | +| 7 | No API rate limiting | LOW | Yes (with script access) | Medium | + +--- + +### 6.10 Recommended Immediate Actions + +**If you are currently using this skill with a Telegram bot:** + +1. **ROTATE YOUR BOT TOKEN IMMEDIATELY** — Go to @BotFather and use `/revoke` to invalidate the current token.
