From 0239b5ff721f7bf16bc5dac281aa2becd249eb46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Infra-Runtime-BE Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 12:37:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] =?UTF-8?q?fix(workspace):=20OFFSEC-003=20=E2=80=94=20?= =?UTF-8?q?separate=20sanitize=20vs.=20wrap,=20fix=20tool=5Fdelegate=5Ftas?= =?UTF-8?q?k?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit PRs #431 and #469 remove `sanitize_a2a_result(result)` from `tool_delegate_task` without adding explicit boundary wrapping. Both the direct send_a2a_message path and the _delegate_sync_via_polling fallback would return completely unsanitized peer text — a security regression. Fix: - `_sanitize_a2a.sanitize_a2a_result()`: remove internal wrapping. Separation of concerns makes the escaping contract visible at call sites. - `a2a_tools_delegation.tool_delegate_task()`: add explicit boundary wrapping around the sanitized result. - `test_a2a_sanitization.py`: rewrite tests for the new contract. Wrapping is now tested at the caller level (tool_delegate_task pattern). The broader OFFSEC-003 improvements in PR #469 (space-substitution, broadened INSTRUCTIONS pattern, plugin registry sys.modules fix) are good — this PR ensures the security guarantees hold when those land.
