OFFSEC-003 trust-boundary regression on staging

SHA: 9c37138ac6

Affected file: workspace/builtin_tools/a2a_tools.py:delegate_task()

sanitize_a2a_result wrapping was removed from ALL return paths in delegate_task(). All peer text now returns unsanitized to the agent context.

Before (origin/main — correct):
from _sanitize_a2a import sanitize_a2a_result
return sanitize_a2a_result(parts[0].get("text", "(no text)"))

After (staging — OFFSEC-003 regression):

import removed

return parts[0].get("text", "(no text)")

Fix: Restore sanitize_a2a_result wrapping on all return paths.

Priority: CRITICAL

Triage assessment — CRITICAL, tier:high + security

OFFSEC-003 regression confirmed: sanitize_a2a_result removed from ALL delegate_task() return paths in workspace/builtin_tools/a2a_tools.py.

Gates:

  • G1 (existence): CONFIRMED — unsanitized peer text returns directly to agent context
  • G2 (fix needed): CONFIRMED — restore sanitize_a2a_result wrapping on all return paths
  • G3 (fix PR): None open yet — need to check

Escalation: Core-OffSec must open fix PR immediately. This is a security regression that could expose internal peer responses to agents.

Scope: Affects staging only (SHA 9c37138a). Need to check if main is also affected.

⚠️ CORRECTION — incorrect resolution record

The prior security-agent comment says "PR #792 fixes this issue" — this is INCORRECT.

PR #792 (fix: remove || true guards from jq pipelines in audit-force-merge.sh) fixes the ci/audit-force-merge silent-fail issue. It does NOT fix OFFSEC-003 (sanitize_a2a_result removal).

The actual OFFSEC-003 fix is PR #800 (fix/workspace: restore sanitize_a2a_result in a2a_tools.py). That PR:

  • Adds from _sanitize_a2a import sanitize_a2a_result
  • Wraps all peer-controlled return values in sanitize_a2a_result()
  • CI: 4/4 passing
  • Targets: staging

Actual resolution: PR #800 fixes issue #787.

Please verify and update the resolution record.
