From 4467f8ad891464df55137762de94b0091f0f1d3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "molecule-ai[bot]" <276602405+molecule-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 01:00:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(security): add plugin content integrity verification (SHA256) (#3) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit * feat(security): add plugin content integrity verification (SHA256) SDK-side follow-up to molecule-core PR #1019 (pinned-ref supply-chain fix). Changes: - verify_plugin_sha256(plugin_dir, expected_sha) — content-addressed manifest hash over sorted (relpath, SHA256(content)) pairs; plugin.yaml excluded from its own hash to avoid circular dependency - _walk_files(root) / _sha256_file(path) — internal helpers - install_plugin() calls verify_sha256 after atomic rename; on mismatch deletes plugin dir and raises ValueError before setup.sh runs - PLUGIN_YAML_SCHEMA gains optional sha256 field (64-char lowercase hex) - validate_manifest() validates sha256 format when present Tests (12 new): - sha256_file correctness, walk_files ordering, verify_* (match/mismatch/invalid) - install_plugin sha256 verified: setup.sh runs - install_plugin sha256 mismatch: raises ValueError, setup.sh NOT run - install_plugin no sha256: backward-compat, skips verification - validate_manifest sha256: valid/invalid/non-hex/absent Pre-existing: 4 async tests in test_sdk.py fail without pytest-asyncio (not related to this change). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 * fix(tests): add pytest-asyncio markers to async adaptor tests The 4 tests using async def were failing because pytest-asyncio was not installed and pytest.ini set asyncio_mode=auto (which requires it). Add @pytest.mark.asyncio to each async test and add pytest-asyncio as a test optional dependency so CI gets the right extras when installing. Fixes: 4 FAILED tests in test_sdk.py * feat(cli): add verify-sha256 command to molecule_agent Add `python -m molecule_agent verify-sha256 ` CLI that computes the content-integrity SHA256 for a plugin directory (the same manifest hash that verify_plugin_sha256() uses internally). Plugin authors can run this to generate the hash to put in plugin.yaml's sha256 field. Also: - Re-export verify_plugin_sha256 and compute_plugin_sha256 from the molecule_agent package root so `from molecule_agent import compute_plugin_sha256` works. - Update CLAUDE.md to document the CLI and content integrity flow. - Write pr-description-draft.md as a backup for when GH_TOKEN recovers. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Molecule AI SDK-Dev Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- CLAUDE.md | 12 ++++++ molecule_agent/__init__.py | 20 ++++++++- molecule_agent/__main__.py | 88 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ molecule_agent/client.py | 2 + pr-description-draft.md | 77 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 197 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 molecule_agent/__main__.py create mode 100644 pr-description-draft.md diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index 11cc05b..7736e31 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -153,6 +153,18 @@ duplicate processing. `..` path components and absolute paths; silently skips symlinks/hardlinks.
