Potential fix for code scanning alert no. 23: Incomplete URL substring sanitization

[theshadow76]

Potential fix for https://github.com/ChipaDevTeam/BinaryOptionsTools-v2/security/code-scanning/23

To fix this, avoid direct string containment assertions for URL trust checks. Parse URLs and compare structured components (especially hostname), or compare exact canonical URL values.

Best fix in this file: update test_init_with_custom_url to parse each configured URL via urllib.parse.urlparse and assert that at least one parsed hostname exactly equals custom.com (and optionally scheme is wss). This removes ambiguous substring-based validation and aligns with robust URL validation practices.

Changes needed in tests/python/pocketoption/test_async_mocked.py:

• Add import: from urllib.parse import urlparse
• Replace line 428 assertion with a parsed URL host/scheme check using any(...).

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Improved validation logic for custom WebSocket URL configuration in test suite, ensuring proper URL parsing and validation of connection endpoints.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates a single test assertion in the async initialization tests to validate custom WebSocket URL configuration more precisely. The import of urlparse is added, and the assertion is changed from a substring check to structured URL parsing that validates the scheme and hostname of configured URLs.

Changes

Custom WebSocket URL validation test

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Custom URL validation test assertion tests/python/pocketoption/test_async_mocked.py	Added urlparse import and updated test_init_with_custom_url to parse client.config.urls entries, verifying that one URL has scheme == "wss" and hostname == "custom.com", replacing the prior direct substring check.

Poem

🐰 A test now parses URLs with care,
No more substring checks laid bare,
wss scheme and hostname checked just right,
The custom WebSocket shines bright! ✨

Code Review

This pull request updates a unit test in test_async_mocked.py to use urlparse for verifying that a custom URL is added to the configuration. The reviewer recommends simplifying this assertion to a direct string equality check within an any() generator expression, which eliminates the need for the urlparse import and keeps the test straightforward and strict.

This import is no longer needed if we simplify the assertion in test_init_with_custom_url to use exact string comparison.

[gemini-code-assist]

The proposed change introduces a nested generator expression and parses URLs using urlparse to assert that the custom URL is present in the configuration. This is overly complex for a unit test assertion and actually weakens the test by allowing variations (like different paths or ports) instead of asserting the exact URL string. Since the original alert is a false positive (static analysis tools flag substring/membership checks on URLs thinking they are security-sensitive sanitization checks), we can satisfy the static analysis tool and keep the test simple and strict by using an exact string equality check for each item in the list. This avoids the need to import and run urlparse in the test.

        assert any(url == "wss://custom.com" for url in client.config.urls)

Pull request overview

Updates the PocketOption async test suite to avoid ambiguous URL substring/membership checks by validating custom WebSocket URLs via structured parsing, aligning with the code scanning recommendation for robust URL trust checks.

Changes:

• Added urllib.parse.urlparse import to the async mocked test module.
• Replaced the custom URL assertion with a hostname/scheme comparison over parsed URLs.
