Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a security concern by upgrading the Jinja2 templating environment within the Giskard agents. The change ensures that all Jinja2 environments are sandboxed, significantly reducing the risk of template injection attacks when processing potentially untrusted inputs. This enhancement bolsters the overall security posture of the application without altering existing functionality.

Highlights

  • Security Fix: Implemented the Jinja2 SandboxedEnvironment to prevent potential template injection vulnerabilities when untrusted output is passed to the chat method.
  • Jinja2 Environment Update: Replaced standard Jinja2 Environment with SandboxedEnvironment for both the _inline_env and the environment created by create_message_environment.

Code Review

This pull request updates the Jinja2 environment usage from jinja2.Environment to jinja2.sandbox.SandboxedEnvironment in libs/giskard-agents/src/giskard/agents/templates/environment.py. This change likely enhances security by running templates in a sandboxed environment. I have no feedback to provide on the review comments as none were provided.
