druid-javascript-security

A security guide for Apache Druid’s JavaScript execution engine, which runs JavaScript expressions while transforming data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing and patching JavaScript transform and filter settings, including rejecting empty or unexpected configuration keys.
Why use it?
It helps prevent specially crafted configuration from bypassing security checks and running unauthorized code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

druid-javascript-security scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Apache Druid JavaScript Security

Vulnerability Context

Apache Druid versions up to 0.20.0 have a critical vulnerability in JavaScript expression handling where an empty key ("") can bypass security settings, allowing arbitrary code execution through the java.lang.Runtime API.

Key Components

1. JavaScript Transform Spec

  • Located in indexing service modules
  • Handles JavaScript expressions for data transformation
  • Uses GraalVM or Nashorn engine for JavaScript execution

2. Security Filter Structure

The vulnerable structure looks like:

{
  "filter": {
    "type": "javascript",
    "function": "function(){...}",
    "": {
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

The empty key "" is the bypass vector.

Patching Strategy

1. Input Validation

  • Reject filter/transform specs with empty string keys
  • Validate all keys in security configuration objects
  • Enforce strict schema validation before passing to JavaScript engine

2. Security Configuration Enforcement

  • Ensure enabled flag is only checked for known, valid keys
  • Implement whitelist of allowed configuration keys
  • Reject any configuration with unexpected keys

3. Code Changes Needed

  • Typically in classes handling JavaScript filter/transform deserialization
  • Common classes: JavaScriptFilter, JavaScriptExpressionValidator, JavaScript spec handlers
  • May need to add validation in both request parsing and execution phases

Testing the Fix

Exploit Request (should fail)

POST /druid/indexer/v1/sampler
{
  "type": "index",
  "spec": {
    "dataSchema": {
      "transformSpec": {
        "filter": {
          "type": "javascript",
          "function": "function(){java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec('malicious_command');}",
          "": {
            "enabled": true
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Legitimate Request (should work)

POST /druid/indexer/v1/sampler
{
  "type": "index",
  "spec": {
    "dataSchema": {
      "transformSpec": {
        "filter": {
          "type": "javascript",
          "function": "function(row){return true;}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

druid-javascript-security is a skill published in the GitHub repository cxcscmu/SkillLearnBench (80 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
