Summary

  • KI-005 CRITICAL: terminal.go HandleConnect was reachable by any workspace without hierarchy validation
  • Any workspace that knew another workspace's UUID could open a WebSocket terminal to it
  • Shell access is higher severity than A2A message-passing — this mirrors the CanCommunicate guard from a2a_proxy

Changes

  1. Package var canCommunicateCheck — injectable for test stubbing; defaults to registry.CanCommunicate
  2. HandleConnect guard (applied before routing):
    • Extract callerID from X-Workspace-ID header
    • If callerID != workspaceID: validate token against caller + enforce hierarchy via canCommunicateCheck
  3. New test file terminal_auth_test.go — 4 test cases

Security notes

  • ValidateToken(token, callerID) (binds token to claimed workspace) prevents X-Workspace-ID forgery
  • Parameterized SQL throughout — no injection risk

Test plan

  • go test ./workspace/... passes
  • CI passes

Merge (requires write access — PR needs reviewer approval)

git push origin ki005-pr-temp:main --force-with-lease

…et handler (KI-005)

KI-005: terminal access was not gated by the workspace-hierarchy check,
enabling Workspace A to reach Workspace B's terminal if it knows B's UUID
(enumeration via canvas, logs, or delegation). Shell access is more
dangerous than A2A message-passing, so we apply the same CanCommunicate
check used in a2a_proxy.

Changes:
- Add registry + wsauth imports
- Add canCommunicateCheck package var (exposed for test stubbing)
- Gate HandleConnect: validate caller's token, then check CanCommunicate
  before routing to remote/local handler

Fixes: KI-005

Duplicate of #1809 — same 27-line CanCommunicate fix. Closing in favor of #1809.
