t1412.4: Runtime content scanning for worker pipelines#3098marcusquinn wants to merge 16 commits intomainfrom
Conversation
Add scan-stdin integration into worker dispatch infrastructure with three
performance/security improvements adopted from stackoneHQ/defender:
1. Keyword pre-filter: fast rejection of clean content before expensive
regex matching (~100x speedup for the common case)
2. NFKC Unicode normalization: closes fullwidth/mathematical/modifier
character bypasses before pattern matching
3. Boundary annotation: wraps untrusted content in [UNTRUSTED-DATA-{uuid}]
tags so the LLM knows trust boundaries
New files:
- runtime-scan-helper.sh: content-type-aware scanning wrapper with
structured audit logging, per-type policies (strict for PR diffs/issues,
permissive for file reads), and boundary annotation via wrap command
- scan-content command in prompt-guard-helper.sh: structured JSON output
with source metadata for programmatic consumption
Integration:
- cron-dispatch.sh: scans task descriptions before dispatching to workers,
prepends injection warning if patterns detected
- build.txt: documents runtime-scan-helper.sh usage for agents
- prompt-injection-defender.md: full documentation of runtime scanning
architecture, content types, audit logging, and dispatch integration
Closes #3074

Code Review
This pull request introduces runtime content scanning, a valuable security enhancement, with changes to runtime-scan-helper.sh, prompt-guard-helper.sh, and cron-dispatch.sh. However, several security issues were identified, primarily related to insecure string interpolation in shell scripts, including potential JSON injection in jq fallback logic, escapable boundary annotation tags, argument injection, and a potential SSRF vulnerability. Additionally, the review highlights widespread use of 2>/dev/null suppressing error messages, a portability issue with grep -P, and opportunities for performance improvements in shell loops and jq usage.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The use of grep -P for Perl-compatible regular expressions is not portable and will fail on systems that don't use GNU grep (e.g., macOS/BSD). This could lead to invisible character checks being silently skipped. Additionally, 2>/dev/null hides the error message when grep -P is unsupported. Please use a more portable method, like tr, for this check and remove the error suppression.

The cmd_scan_url function's vulnerable to both argument injection and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). A URL starting with a hyphen could be interpreted as a curl option (e.g., -o to overwrite files). Furthermore, the function allows fetching content from any URL without restriction, which could be used to probe internal network services. Use curl -- "$url" and implement a URL allow-list.

The boundary annotation tags are constructed using printf without sanitizing the $content_type or $source variables. An attacker could provide a source string containing "] to escape the boundary tag and inject instructions that appear to originate from a trusted context. This undermines the security objective of using boundary tags to isolate untrusted data for the LLM.

Suppressing jq's stderr output with 2>/dev/null hides useful error messages, such as if jq is not installed or if the input JSON is malformed.

The _pg_keyword_prefilter function uses a while read loop in shell to iterate over keywords. For a large list of keywords, this is inefficient. A single call to grep with the -f option to read patterns from a file (or process substitution) would be significantly faster.

Similar to the previous finding, the fallback JSON construction for findings is vulnerable to JSON injection when jq is missing. Untrusted input in $content_type or $source_id can be used to manipulate the structured output.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This while loop calls jq on each iteration to build the findings_json array. For a large number of findings, this will be very inefficient due to the overhead of starting a new jq process for each line. You can achieve the same result much more efficiently by processing all findings in a single jq pipeline.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The fallback JSON construction using printf is vulnerable to JSON injection. If the jq utility is not available, variables like $content_type and $source_id are interpolated directly into the JSON string without escaping. An attacker who can influence these values (e.g., via a malicious URL or content source) could inject additional JSON fields or malformed data, potentially spoofing scan results or causing downstream parsing failures.

Inline comments:
In @.agents/prompts/build.txt:
- Around line 163-164: The prompt docs list of runtime scan content types is
missing two supported types; update the text that enumerates content types to
include api-response and chat-message (since runtime-scan-helper.sh accepts both
and cron-dispatch.sh already uses chat-message), and ensure the usage examples
for scan and wrap mention these types so the prompt matches the actual CLI
behavior and existing usages.
In @.agents/scripts/cron-dispatch.sh:
- Around line 368-387: The current cron-dispatch scan block swallows
runtime-scan-helper failures by using "|| true", causing scanner errors to be
treated as a clean result; update the logic around RUNTIME_SCAN_HELPER so you
capture its exit status and output (remove the unconditional "|| true"), then:
if the helper exits 0 parse scan_result as now, if it exits non-zero (e.g. 2 for
scanner error) log an error including the exit code and helper output, mark the
task as "UNSCANNED / scan failed" by prepending a clear warning (similar to the
injection warning) so the worker knows the content was not successfully scanned,
and only log "task description is clean" when exit status is 0 and no findings
are present; use the existing variables RUNTIME_SCAN_HELPER,
RUNTIME_SCAN_WORKER_ID, RUNTIME_SCAN_SESSION_ID, WORKER_CONTENT_SCANNING and
scan_result to locate and modify the code.
In @.agents/scripts/prompt-guard-helper.sh:
- Around line 665-694: Run Unicode NFKC normalization before the fast-path
`_pg_keyword_prefilter` so fullwidth/mathematical variants are caught: call
`_pg_normalize_nfkc` early and use `normalized_message` (or both `message` and
`normalized_message`) for the keyword check and any subsequent scans; replace
the hardcoded ASCII-only invisible-char probe with a robust check that runs
against `normalized_message` and does not rely solely on `grep -P` (provide a
POSIX-safe fallback or use `perl`/`awk` detection) so zero-width joiners/BOMs
are detected on systems without `grep -P`, and ensure `scan_message` is set from
the normalized value when normalization changed.
In @.agents/scripts/runtime-scan-helper.sh:
- Around line 171-185: The header metadata in _rs_wrap_content interpolates the
raw variable source into source="..." which allows quotes or newlines to break
the header; fix by escaping source before printing (e.g. add a helper like
_rs_escape_attr or inline escaping) that replaces double quotes and newlines
(and other control characters) with safe equivalents (e.g. \" and \n or
remove/control characters) and use that escaped value in the printf call inside
_rs_wrap_content so the boundary attribute cannot be spoofed or inject extra
lines.
- Around line 439-451: The scan currently relies on human-formatted stderr and
exit codes from PROMPT_GUARD_HELPER which masks LOW findings; instead capture
and parse the structured JSON output emitted by prompt-guard-helper (the JSON at
.agents/scripts/prompt-guard-helper.sh:1766) from the variable scan_output after
running "$PROMPT_GUARD_HELPER" scan-stdin, extract the reporter fields (e.g.,
max_severity or finding_count) and compare max_severity against the chosen
policy stored in policy (from _rs_default_policy and RUNTIME_SCAN_POLICY) to
decide behavior; replace the anchored-grep/ANSI parsing logic and any logic that
sets scan_exit based on human output with JSON-based checks so LOW/INFO/OTHER
severities are correctly handled.
- Around line 245-263: The function currently treats any non-zero cmd_scan exit
as success; change the logic around scan_exit so that only exit 0 (clean) or 1
(findings) proceed to output, while other non-zero codes (e.g., 2 = scan
failure) cause an immediate non-zero return and do not call _rs_wrap_content;
specifically, after running cmd_scan (scan_result/scan_exit), detect scan_exit
!= 0 && scan_exit != 1 and return that code (or a descriptive non-zero) without
printing the wrapped content, keep the existing warning/printing behavior only
for scan_exit == 1, and ensure callers see the failure via the exit status
instead of a 0 return.

WORKER_CONTENT_SCANNING is true but RUNTIME_SCAN_HELPER is missing/not
executable; update the conditional and flow around RUNTIME_SCAN_HELPER so that
when WORKER_CONTENT_SCANNING == "true" and RUNTIME_SCAN_HELPER is not executable
you log an explicit warning (use log_warn or log_error) and prepend the same
trust-warning to task as done for scan failures (the branch that sets
task="WARNING: Runtime content scan failed..."), instead of bypassing scanning
silently; keep the existing scan invocation using the
RUNTIME_SCAN_WORKER_ID/RUNTIME_SCAN_SESSION_ID/RUNTIME_SCAN_QUIET environment
variables and preserve the existing handling for scan_exit values when the
helper runs successfully.

split("|") and loses any pipes inside the matched text; update the construction
of findings_json to parse each input line with jq's regex match/captures instead
of split so you capture the first three pipe-separated fields (severity,
category, description) and treat everything after the third pipe as the matched
text (so pipes inside matched are preserved), then build the object from those
captures and fallback matched to an empty string when absent; keep using
findings_json in the outer jq invocation that emits the final JSON.

variable, then use safe_source in the printf call instead of the raw $source;
ensure the sanitizer is applied where the WARNING is emitted (the block
containing printf 'WARNING: ... %s ...' in runtime-scan-helper.sh).
- Around line 528-545: The moderate policy branch currently does nothing for the

exit status from runtime-scan-helper.sh (scan) to handle errors explicitly

Address CodeRabbit's critical finding: the fast-path keyword prefilter was skipping structural detectors that don't rely on keywords, causing false negatives for URL-encoded payloads (%XX), repeated escape sequences (\uXXXX, \xNN), fake tool/conversation boundaries, and homoglyph attacks. Changes: - Add ~10 lightweight structural regex checks that run when no keywords match but before returning clean. These detect encoding tricks, fake delimiters, homoglyphs, zero-width sequences, and mixed-script injection — all patterns that bypass keyword-based filtering. - Guard --type and --source CLI args in scan-content with validation before shift 2 to prevent 'shift: can't shift that many' errors. - Clarify runtime scanning is a detection/annotation layer, not an enforcement layer (enforcement = sandboxing, scoped tokens, network controls). Verification: ShellCheck 0 violations, runtime-scan-helper 20/20 tests pass, prompt-guard-helper pre-existing test gaps unchanged.

- Around line 1874-1880: The empty-input branch in prompt-guard-helper.sh (the
if [[ -z "$content" ]] block) returns JSON missing byte_count, breaking the
output schema; update the printf in that branch to include "byte_count":0 so the
produced object mirrors the other clean/finding branches (use the same escaped
variables safe_type and safe_src), ensuring callers always receive byte_count
even when content is empty; this affects the empty-input path for
variables/content, content_type, and source_id (and keeps consistency with
scan-content output).
- Around line 683-772: The early short-circuit return after
_pg_keyword_prefilter can skip dynamic YAML/custom rules; change the logic so
the fast-path is disabled whenever dynamic patterns are present: call
_pg_load_yaml_patterns and check PROMPT_GUARD_CUSTOM_PATTERNS (and whether the
custom file exists) before allowing the early return, or else derive the keyword
prefilter from the loaded patterns; specifically update the block that uses
_pg_keyword_prefilter (and variables scan_message/normalized_message) to consult
_pg_load_yaml_patterns and PROMPT_GUARD_CUSTOM_PATTERNS (and/or fall back to
_pg_get_patterns) so _pg_scan_patterns_from_stream, _pg_get_patterns and custom
files are always considered instead of being skipped.
In @.agents/tools/security/prompt-injection-defender.md:
- Around line 646-650: Update the documentation to clarify that the fast-path
keyword pre-filter does not completely bypass further checks: when no keywords
match, `_pg_scan_message()` still executes a smaller structural rule set as a
fallback before declaring content clean, so the full regex scan is avoided but
not "skipped entirely"; change the wording to reflect this structural fallback
and its role in reducing false negatives while keeping the performance benefit.

Mathematical bold characters are 4-byte UTF-8 sequences (vs 3-byte fullwidth), exercising a distinct NFKC normalization path. Both tests verify content that is ONLY detectable after _pg_normalize_nfkc() — no ASCII keywords present in the original.

Don't make scanner unavailability a hard dispatch blocker.
This early return turns t1412.4 into enforcement, blocks otherwise runnable cron jobs, and skips the scoped-token cleanup path later in main(). The scan_exit >= 2 branch below already has the right degraded-mode behavior: prepend an explicit trust warning and continue dispatching.

Don't double % in the wrapped source attribute.
printf only treats % specially in the format string, not in a %s argument. Escaping it here changes real source identifiers like percent-encoded URLs (%20 → %%20), so the boundary metadata no longer matches the actual origin.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
date +%s%N isn't portable to BSD/macOS.
On BSD date, %N does not produce a numeric nanosecond suffix, so the arithmetic in this block can abort the scan path even though the date command itself exited 0.
Run this on the target shell/OS matrix:
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
out=$(date +%s%N 2>/dev/null || true)
printf 'date +%%s%%N => %s\n' "$out"
if [[ "$out" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
echo 'numeric timestamp: supported'
else
echo 'non-numeric timestamp: %N unsupported on this platform'

In @.agents/scripts/runtime-scan-helper.sh around lines 517 - 539, The date
+%s%N call is non-portable on BSD/macOS and can return a non-numeric string
causing the scan duration arithmetic (variables start_time, end_time,
scan_duration_ms) to fail; update the logic in the scan timing block to detect
whether date produced a pure numeric nanosecond timestamp (e.g., capture
start_time and end_time with date +%s%N 2>/dev/null || date +%s, then validate
with a numeric/regex test or split seconds and nanoseconds) and fall back to
second-precision arithmetic when %N is unsupported, ensuring scan_duration_ms is
always computed safely (no abort) by using the validated numeric values for
start_time/end_time or separate second+ns fields before calculating ms.

Recovery complete: opened #4135 to restore the pre-dispatch runtime task scanning behavior from this closed-unmerged PR using current mainline scanner architecture. |
* fix: restore pre-dispatch task scanning in cron-dispatch * fix: treat ambiguous scan exit as scanner failure * fix: require explicit scan markers for runtime flagged handling
