Python: Restrict persisted checkpoint deserialization by default#4941
Conversation
Add RestrictedUnpickler to _checkpoint_encoding.py that limits which types may be instantiated during pickle deserialization. By default FileCheckpointStorage now uses the restricted unpickler, allowing only: - Built-in Python value types (primitives, datetime, uuid, decimal, collections, etc.) - All agent_framework.* internal types - Additional types specified via the new allowed_checkpoint_types parameter on FileCheckpointStorage This narrows the default type surface area for persisted checkpoints while keeping framework-owned scenarios working without extra configuration. Developers can extend the allowed set by passing "module:qualname" strings to allowed_checkpoint_types. The decode_checkpoint_value function retains backward-compatible unrestricted behavior when called without the new allowed_types kwarg.

Add explicit type annotation for super().find_class() return value to satisfy mypy's no-any-return check. Fixes microsoft#4894 Co-authored-by: Copilot <[email protected]>

✓ Correctness
This PR contains only cosmetic and linting changes: reformatting indentation in test files, collapsing a multi-line call onto one line, adding a
# noqa: S301comment to suppress a Bandit pickle warning on the restricted unpickler, splitting a return into annotated local variable + return (likely to satisfy a linter), replacing try/except with contextlib.suppress, and removing an unused import. All changes are semantically equivalent to the original code with no behavioral differences.
✓ Security Reliability
This PR contains purely cosmetic changes: a
# noqa: S301suppression on the restricted unpickler class (appropriate since the class intentionally subclasses pickle.Unpickler to add safety restrictions), a local variable assignment infind_classfor type annotation, indentation fixes in tests, replacing try/except with contextlib.suppress, and removing an unused import. No security-relevant behavior is changed. The existing restricted unpickler design, allowlist logic, and fallback to unrestricted pickle whenallowed_types is Noneare all unchanged.
✓ Test Coverage
This PR is purely formatting, linting, and style cleanup with no behavioral changes. Production code changes are: (1) a
# noqa: S301comment to suppress Bandit's pickle warning, (2) an intermediate typed variable before returning infind_class, and (3) a single-line reformatting of a function call. Test changes are: removing an unused import (_BUILTIN_ALLOWED_TYPE_KEYS), replacing atry/except: passwithcontextlib.suppress, and fixing indentation. Since no behavior changed, no new tests are needed and the existing test suite adequately covers the restricted unpickler logic including blocked callables, blocked__reduce__payloads, code execution prevention, user-type allow/block, built-in safe types, and file-based checkpoint round-trips.
✓ Design Approach
This PR makes four types of changes: (1) reformats a long function call in _checkpoint.py, (2) adds a
# noqa: S301suppression to the_RestrictedUnpicklerclass definition and splits areturninto an intermediate typed variable, (3) replacestry/except Exception: passwithcontextlib.suppress(Exception)in a security test, and (4) fixes indentation in test files. None of these represent fundamentally misguided design approaches. The# noqa: S301on the class definition is appropriate—the file already uses the same pattern forpickle.loadsand the import itself. Thecontextlib.suppress(Exception)change is semantically equivalent to the original. The one minor concern is the intermediateresult: type = super().find_class(module, name); return resultpattern, which appears to work around a linter warning in an indirect way rather than either (a) placing a targeted# noqaon the return line or (b) simply keeping the direct return. The type annotationresult: typeis also imprecise sincepickle.Unpickler.find_classhas a broader return type in most stubs, though this has no runtime impact. No blocking design issues exist.
Suggestions
- The intermediate variable
result: type = super().find_class(module, name); return resultin_RestrictedUnpickler.find_classappears to be a workaround for a linter warning. It is clearer to keep the directreturn super().find_class(module, name) # noqa: S301 # nosecform, which is already the established pattern used on thepickle.loadscall in the same file. The current split adds indirection without improving readability or type safety.

Pull request overview
This PR hardens Python workflow checkpoint persistence by introducing restricted pickle deserialization for file-based checkpoints, addressing typing/lint issues, and updating/adding tests to cover the new allow-list behavior (Fixes #4894).
Changes:
- Added a restricted unpickler and a built-in allow-list for checkpoint deserialization, with an extension mechanism via allow-listed
"module:qualname"strings. - Updated
FileCheckpointStorageto acceptallowed_checkpoint_typesand to use restricted deserialization by default. - Updated existing workflow checkpoint tests and added new tests validating restricted vs. unrestricted decoding behavior.

✓ Correctness
This is a trivial comment-only change that swaps a ruff/flake8-bandit lint suppression (
# noqa: S301) for a mypy type suppression (# type: ignore[no-any-return]) on thesuper().find_class()call. The# nosecbandit suppression is correctly retained. The type ignore is appropriate becausepickle.Unpickler.find_classis typed as returningAnyin typeshed, while this override declares atypereturn. The class-level# noqa: S301on line 82 already covers the S301 rule for this class, so removing it from line 102 should not introduce new lint warnings. No behavioral change whatsoever.
✓ Security Reliability
This change swaps a ruff/flake8 suppression comment (
# noqa: S301) for a mypy suppression comment (# type: ignore[no-any-return]) on thesuper().find_class()call in_RestrictedUnpickler. The# nosecbandit suppression is retained. No runtime behavior is altered — this is purely a static-analysis annotation change. The existing security controls (allowlist-basedfind_class,_BUILTIN_ALLOWED_TYPE_KEYS, framework module prefix check) remain intact and are sound for their stated purpose.
✓ Test Coverage
This is a purely cosmetic change: replacing a Ruff/flake8
# noqa: S301suppression comment with a mypy# type: ignore[no-any-return]on thefind_classreturn in_RestrictedUnpickler. No runtime behavior is altered. The existing test suite intest_checkpoint_decode.pyandtest_checkpoint_unrestricted_pickle.pycomprehensively covers thefind_classcode path — including allowed built-in types, framework types, explicitly allowed user types, blocked arbitrary callables, blocked__reduce__payloads, and code-execution prevention. No new behavior was introduced, so no additional tests are needed.
✗ Design Approach
The change correctly adds
# type: ignore[no-any-return]to silence a mypy complaint aboutpickle.Unpickler.find_classbeing typed asAnyin typeshed while the override declares-> type. However, it removes the# noqa: S301suppression that was previously on the same line. Since the project runs ruff with the"S"(bandit) rule set enabled and ruff respects# noqa(not# nosec), dropping# noqa: S301will likely produce a ruff S301 lint failure on this line. The# nosecretained here only suppresses direct bandit runs, not ruff's bandit rules. The other two pickle-related lines in the same file (line 82, line 246) still carry# noqa: S301, making this removal inconsistent.
Flagged Issues
- Removing
# noqa: S301from line 102 will cause a ruff S301 lint failure. The project has"S"rules enabled in ruff (pyproject.tomlselect), and ruff uses# noqasyntax—not# nosec—to suppress those violations. Lines 82 and 246 in the same file still carry# noqa: S301; line 102 should too.
Suggestions
- Removing
# noqa: S301means ruff/flake8 (with theSplugin) will now flag this line with S301 (use ofpickle). Verify that your CI linting configuration either doesn't enable theSruleset for this file or that the project-level config already suppresses S301 globally, otherwise this will become a lint failure.

Automated Code Review
Reviewers: 4 | Confidence: 94%
✓ Correctness
This is a trivial cleanup removing a redundant
# noqa: S301comment from line 102. The class-level suppression on line 82 already covers the S301 (pickle usage) diagnostic for the entire class, and the# noseccomment (Bandit) remains in place on line 102. No correctness concerns.
✓ Security Reliability
This is a cosmetic-only change that removes a redundant
# noqa: S301(ruff/flake8 suppression) from a line that already carries# nosec(Bandit suppression). The underlyingsuper().find_class(module, name)call and all surrounding security logic — the restricted unpickler allowlist, the framework-module prefix check, and the type-verification step — are completely unchanged. No security or reliability concerns are introduced.
✓ Test Coverage
This PR removes a redundant
# noqa: S301lint suppression comment from a line that already carries# nosec(bandit's own suppression directive). The change is purely cosmetic — no logic, no behavior, and no API surface is altered. There is no test coverage implication because no runtime behavior changed. Existing tests in test_checkpoint_encode.py, test_checkpoint_decode.py, and test_checkpoint_unrestricted_pickle.py already cover the _RestrictedUnpickler.find_class path, and no new tests are needed for a comment removal.
✓ Design Approach
The diff removes a
# noqa: S301suppression comment from a line that already carries# nosec. Thenoqa: S301suppression is for Bandit's 'pickle usage' warning as surfaced through flake8-bugbear or similar linters;# noseccovers Bandit's direct scan. Sincesuper().find_class()in a restricted unpickler is intentional and controlled, the# nosecannotation is the correct Bandit suppression mechanism. Removing the redundant# noqa: S301is a minor cleanup with no functional impact. There are no design or correctness concerns in this change.
Suggestions
- Confirm that the CI linter pipeline does not flag S301 via a noqa-based tool (e.g., flake8 or ruff) independently of Bandit's nosec mechanism. If so, removing
# noqa: S301could reintroduce a lint failure.

2026-04-09 > [!IMPORTANT] > **Security hardening for `FileCheckpointStorage`:** Checkpoint deserialization now flows through a restricted unpickler by default, which only permits a built-in set of safe Python types and all `agent_framework` framework types. If your application stores custom types in checkpoints, pass their `"module:qualname"` identifiers via the new `allowed_checkpoint_types` constructor parameter — otherwise loads will raise `WorkflowCheckpointException`. See [Security Considerations](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/agent-framework/workflows/checkpoints?pivots=programming-language-python#security-considerations) for details and the opt-in format. ### Added -

Motivation and Context
Persisted checkpoint loading in the Python SDK is currently too permissive by default: arbitrary pickled types can be restored unless callers add their own safeguards. Before GA, checkpoint persistence should default to a narrower, framework-approved type surface while still giving applications an explicit extension point for additional safe types.
Fixes #4894
Description
This change hardens
FileCheckpointStorageso persisted checkpoints are deserialized with a restricted unpickler by default. Built-in safe value types andagent_frameworkinternal types continue to round-trip without extra configuration, while application-specific types must now be explicitly allowed via the newallowed_checkpoint_typesparameter usingmodule:qualnameentries. The checkpoint encoding layer enforces that allow-list during deserialization, the storage and encoding docs now describe the safer default posture, and the workflow checkpoint tests were updated to cover blocked arbitrary callables and__reduce__payloads, explicit allow-listed custom types, and existing round-trip scenarios that rely on custom test types.Contribution Checklist
