[jira] [Updated] (GROOVY-8413) Potential issue with indirectImportCheckEnabled in SecureASTCustomizer

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8413?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tim Biggin updated GROOVY-8413:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
I have been attempting to use *SecureASTCustomizer* to secure Groovy scripts, but I've noticed a few odd things happening within *SecureASTCustomizer*. 

Problem 1)
Assume I have configured the *starImportsWhitelist* with an entry for +com.company.package.\*+ and have set *indirectImportCheckEnabled* to *true*.

The following code snippet breaks:
{code}
import com.company.package.TestClass;

TestClass test = new TestClass();
test.toString();
{code}

It runs through *assertExpressionAuthorized(...)* and will fail in *assertStaticImportIsAllowed(...)* because +com.company.package.TestClass.toString()+ is not an allowed static import. This to me makes no sense, +test.toString()+ is 1) not a static call and 2) is not an indirect import because we have an instance of this object and a corresponding import for it.

Problem 2)
Assume I have configured the import star white list with an entry for +com.company.package.\*+ and have set *indirectImportCheckEnabled* to *true*.

{code}
import com.company.package.TestClass;

TestClass.SomeStaticMethod();
{code}

When this code is run through *assertExpressionAuthorized(...)* it is passed in as a *MethodCallExpression* not a *StaticMethodCallExpression*, so even if I fix problem 1, I cannot tell the difference between method calls and static method calls.

The following code snippet breaks:

Because it runs through assertExpressionAuthorized and will fail in assertStaticImportIsAllowed because com.company.package.TestClass.toString() is not an allowed static import. This to me makes no sense, test.toString() is 1) not a static call and 2) is not an indirect import because we have an instance of this object and a corresponding import for it.
