From ac8108a1a7f1eafa815490f7e91ff9e7f7622b87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Infra-Runtime-BE Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 03:25:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(executor): sanitize peer delegation content in read_delegation_results (OFFSEC-003) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit peer-supplied `summary` and `response_preview` fields written to DELEGATION_RESULTS_FILE by the heartbeat loop were injected into the agent prompt without sanitization — a direct OFFSEC-003 injection path. New `_detect_injection_safe()` helper wraps `builtin_tools.compliance.detect_prompt_injection()` with lazy import and fail-open behaviour. When injection patterns are detected in either `summary` or `response_preview`, the field is replaced with "" before formatting. The delegation metadata (status, task line) is preserved so the agent still knows a delegation completed; only the malicious content is stripped. Fail-open: if builtin_tools.compliance is unavailable (e.g. minimal test environment), the function logs a warning and passes text through. This is acceptable because builtin_tools is always present in production containers; the fail-open only affects degenerate test environments. 6 new tests covering: clean pass-through, injection in summary, injection in preview, truncation of clean preview, no-file path, fail-open when compliance unavailable.
