From 934c7c479248d989dab82f1f7999ea92069336ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: arulnidhii Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 09:26:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] security: gate the ACE memory routes (W1 recurrence, per-sink lesson round 3) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The W1 authorization sweeps keyed on the string "MemoryRepository", so the entire ACERepository read/write surface was invisible to them. Four ACE routes had holes: - POST /memories/ace/reflection: no AuthContext at all — agent_id from the request body, no content scan, no integrity hash, no trust level, defaulting to global scope (the ACE experience->procedure channel, the scope every agent reads). Now runs the same gate sequence as /memories/add. - POST /memories/ace/playbook and /ace/playbook/agent: passed requesting_agent_id=body.agent_id to the scope ACL — the spoofed-read hole W1 closed on the query routes. Now derive the identity from the API key and apply the principal-trust scope restriction. - POST /memories/ace/vote/{id}: any project key could vote as any agent on any memory, including memories the voter cannot read — a ranking-poisoning channel. Now pins the voter to the key and requires read access to the target. - POST /memories/ace/curate and /consolidate: memory content behind a body-supplied agent identity; now agent-authorized (bound key = own agent, unbound key = application), matching the handoff/decay posture. ACERepository.create_reflection gains trust_level/content_flags/integrity_hash so reflections are screened and signed like every other write; both playbook queries gain a scope_filter for the principal-trust restriction. The sweeps are re-keyed so this class of miss fails CI: - the write sweep keys on every write sink (adds ACERepository.create_reflection) - the read sweep additionally matches memory-touching ACERepository.* methods, derived from the repository source (any method referencing the Memory model) - new test_direct_memory_constructors_are_pinned: the set of files constructing Memory(...) must equal {ace_repository, memory_repository, playbook_loader}, so a new constructor bypassing the repository fails immediately Adversarial HTTP-layer tests validated to fail against pre-fix main (4e96df1) in a scratch worktree (15 fail before, all pass after); the affected integration suites stay green (unbound keys are unaffected).

09:38:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/9] security: v2 integrity hash covering scope + trust_level, signing completeness, backfill MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The v1 integrity hash (HMAC over "{project_id}:{agent_id}:{content}") covered neither scope nor trust_level, so a direct DB edit flipping a memory from agent-private to global — or relabelling its trust — verified clean. It was also un-delimited, so a variable-length field could absorb the next. v2 (stored with a "v2:" prefix) fixes both: the message is aegis-mem-v2 \x1f project_id \x1f agent_id \x1f scope \x1f trust_level \x1f content delimited by the unit separator and opened with a domain constant so a memory MAC cannot be replayed as another Aegis MAC. verify_integrity dispatches on the prefix, so legacy v1 rows and Context Hub (prompt/skill/subagent) rows still verify. Signing completeness — prerequisites for safe verify-on-read (W2b), where an unsigned or stale-hash row must not be mistaken for tampering: - add_batch now signs every item; it was the one write path that never computed a hash, leaving every batch-added memory unsigned. - consolidation re-signs the keeper after rewriting its content; the stored HMAC was going stale, so POST /security/verify would flag legitimately merged memories. - PATCH re-signs whenever content OR trust_level changes (v2 covers trust_level). - all memory writers (add, add_batch, ace_delta, typed, reflection) emit v2. scripts/backfill_integrity.py upgrades unsigned/v1 rows to v2 (idempotent, batched, --dry-run, --project-id) so a deployment can move to drop + INTEGRITY_REQUIRE_SIGNED. Migration 0010 widens memories.integrity_hash 64 -> 80 ("v2:" + 64 hex = 67); round-trips cleanly. New unit tests pin scope-flip / trust-relabel detection, delimiter and domain separation, and v1 back-compat (including the documented v1 scope-flip residual that the backfill closes); integration tests cover backfill idempotence and the consolidation re-sign. Stacked on the ACE-route gating branch.

This adds the read-side gate: every retrieval path recomputes the HMAC and, per INTEGRITY_READ_MODE, drops tamper-detected rows and records a security event. server/read_integrity.py: - classify(memory) -> verified | unsigned | mismatched - apply_read_integrity(...) — pure partition into (kept, dropped) by the decision table; annotates integrity_verified on kept rows - emit_integrity_events(...) — one INTEGRITY_FAILED event per drop, on a DEDICATED write session (never the caller's): hybrid_query/get_memory/export run on get_read_db, which never commits and may be a replica, so an event on that session would be lost. Best-effort; never blocks a read. - screen_read(...) — the entry point retrieval paths call. Modes (INTEGRITY_READ_MODE, default "drop"; INTEGRITY_REQUIRE_SIGNED default false): - off = return everything - warn = annotate + emit, return everything - drop = exclude MISMATCHED rows + emit; unsigned/legacy rows kept unless require_signed, so drop is safe before scripts/backfill_integrity.py runs. Hardened end state after backfill: drop + require_signed. Wired into semantic_search (before decay/telemetry so counts reflect drops), hybrid_search, get_agent_memories_for_handoff (tampered content would otherwise be delivered as key_facts), the typed timeline/entity reads, the get_memory route (not get_by_id — that also serves mutation and /security/verify, which must still fetch a tampered row), and the context bundle. Export annotates integrity_status per row and never drops (a backup should show tampering, not hide it). MemoryOut gains integrity_verified; SecurityConfigResponse surfaces both new flags. Tests: unit decision table + integration (real Postgres, raw UPDATE tamper) proving drop excludes tampered rows from query/hybrid/handoff/get_memory, the event is committed even on the hybrid read-session route, warn annotates, and unsigned rows survive drop until require_signed. 13 new + broad regression green. Local-mode (aegis_memory/local) verify-on-read deferred: single-user offline threat model is weaker; server is the security-critical path. Stacked on the integrity-signing-v2 branch.

New CONTENT_POLICY_INJECTION_GLOBAL_SCOPE (default "reject", alt "inherit") escalates a flagged injection to a hard reject when scope=="global". scan() has no scope parameter, so the escalation lives in scan_async, placed ahead of the Stage-4 classifier early-return so it applies even with the LLM classifier off (the default). Applied byte-identically to both content_security.py copies (server/ and aegis_memory/security/); the no-drift guard passes. The base injection policy is unchanged, so agent-private/shared writes still flag. The /security/scan preview reports at global scope, so it now shows this worst-case verdict — documented as intended. Tests: unit coverage of flag-at-agent / reject-at-global / inherit / clean, and an end-to-end pair (injection reflection -> 422 since reflections default to global; agent-private injection still flags). The reject-at-global test validated to fail against the pre-fix tip (8879bc1) in a scratch worktree. Stacked on the verify-integrity-on-read branch.

Every write channel supplies one — memories add/add_batch, ace_delta, typed_memory, ace_reflection and the genesis seed (the last two build Memory directly, so they persist the row themselves). A source-derived sweep test fails CI if a new write router omits ProvenanceInput. Promotion history is events, not record mutation: new SCOPE_CHANGED / TRUST_CHANGED / PROMOTED / DEDUPLICATED event types. A trust relabel now records its old value (UPDATED only listed the field name); a dedup emits DEDUPLICATED with the colliding write's origin so a second, differently-trusted write stays auditable. New GET /memories/{id}/provenance returns the record, its HMAC verification status, and promotion history. policy_version is surfaced in GET /security/config. Riders: fixed the TypedMemoryOut divergence (it lacked trust_level/content_flags) and the export provenance-stripping round trip (added trust_level/content_flags/integrity_hash). Tests: HMAC sign/verify + tamper, policy_version stability, per-channel origin recording, the provenance endpoint, a tampered record reporting unverified, the dedup event, and a trust relabel recorded as a promotion event. Migration 0011 round-trips. Both content_security copies stay byte-identical (drift guards green). Stacked on the injection-reject-global-scope branch.

This fuses them, closing the loop with the same signals that make memory safer: one mechanism, both benefits. server/ranking.py fuses, gated by ENABLE_TRUST_WEIGHTED_RANKING (default off, so ordering is unchanged until opted in): score = w_sem·similarity + w_trust·trust + w_eff·effectiveness + w_decay·decay + w_prov·provenance (weights sum-validated at startup) - ranks CONTENT trust (Memory.trust_level), distinct from ENABLE_TRUST_LEVELS which gates principal-trust authorization - neutral priors (0.5) for unproven signals: an unvoted memory or one with no provenance record is neutral, never bad, so the un-voted corpus is never buried. Effectiveness uses a Beta(1,1) mean instead of get_effectiveness_score's 0.0-for-unvoted - provenance depth (from the W2a record) discounts derived memories: 1/(1+depth) semantic_search over-fetches a candidate pool (top_k·multiplier, clamped) when the flag is on — LIMIT top_k in SQL left nothing to promote — then fuses, sorts, truncates. score stays cosine; the fused value is surfaced as relevance_score (replacing the old query-independent recompute) and also fixes the decay-collapse: the decay-adjusted score was computed then discarded, so order changed but the surfaced number didn't. hybrid_search: same fusion when on. Bugfix even when off — its decay branch multiplied by effectiveness×decay, which zeroed every unvoted memory; now score×decay, matching semantic_search. rerank_with_decay keeps its 3-tuple shape (local-lib parity, test pins intact); the server routes through ranking.py. Tests: unit priors + fusion invariants (all-neutral preserves semantic order; untrusted below unknown at equal similarity; a helpful vote strictly raises the fused score — the named regression). Integration (identical embeddings): trust reorders when on, votes flip order at equal trust, and order is stable/semantic when off. 13 new + 278-test regression green (temporal-decay 3-tuple pins, ACL grep, and search canaries all intact). Stacked on the memory-provenance branch.

Both repository methods now screen their results. - P1 Verify consolidation inputs: consolidate_pair re-signed the merged keeper without checking the inputs, so a database-tampered keeper got a fresh valid HMAC — laundering the tampering past verify-on-read. It now classifies both inputs and refuses a mismatched pair (skipped_integrity_mismatch), leaving the row unsigned-as-tampered. - P2 Warn-mode events: apply_read_integrity tracked only drops, so warn mode annotated integrity_verified but emitted no INTEGRITY_FAILED event. It now returns failures independently of the keep/drop decision, so warn emits audit telemetry while still returning the row. - P2 Over-fetch hybrid candidates: hybrid_search hydrated only top_k, so trust reranking merely permuted that window. It now over-fetches a candidate pool (like semantic_search) and truncates to top_k after reranking. - P2 Normalize hybrid RRF scores: the hybrid channel's scores are raw RRF (~0.01-0.03), not ~[0,1] cosine, so the 0.60 semantic weight was swamped by trust. They are min-max normalized to [0,1] before fusion; the tuple still surfaces the original hybrid score. Also fixes a latent bug the new playbook test surfaced: query_playbook's QUERIED event omitted the required memory_id kwarg, so /ace/playbook would 500 on every call. New tests: playbook drops tampered rows, warn emits an event, consolidation refuses a tampered input, plus updated warn-mode unit coverage. Full suite green (838 passed).

Signed on write **and verified on read**, every memory carries an immutable origin +record, and the same trust signals that keep retrieval safe also make it better. Also ships the +authorization hardening that had been sitting unreleased since v2.6.1. + +### Added + +- **Provenance as a first-class, HMAC-signed record (W2a).** New `memory_provenance` table (1:1 + with each memory, migration 0011) captures the origin channel and kind (the C1–C4 mapping), the + producing agent and API key, the source run/interaction/trajectory, the derivation depth, the + taint set (trust label + the detections that fired), and the full content-security verdict plus a + `policy_version` that admitted it. Written once through one choke point (`MemoryRepository.add`) + and never mutated — promotions are recorded as events (`SCOPE_CHANGED` / `TRUST_CHANGED` / + `PROMOTED` / `DEDUPLICATED`). New `GET /memories/{id}/provenance` returns the record, its HMAC + verification status, and promotion history; `policy_version` is surfaced by `GET /security/config`. +- **Verify integrity on read (W2b).** Signing on write is now matched by verification on read: + every retrieval path (`query`, `hybrid_query`, `GET /memories/{id}`, handoff, typed + timeline/entity, the ACE playbook, and the context bundle) recomputes the HMAC. `INTEGRITY_READ_MODE` + (`off` / `warn` / `drop`, default **`drop`**) excludes a tamper-detected row before it reaches a + prompt and emits an `INTEGRITY_FAILED` event (on a dedicated write session, so it is committed + even on the replica-safe read routes). Unsigned/legacy rows are kept until + `INTEGRITY_REQUIRE_SIGNED=true`, so `drop` is safe to run before the backfill. +- **Trust-weighted retrieval ranking (W2c).** With `ENABLE_TRUST_WEIGHTED_RANKING=true`, retrieval + fuses vector similarity with content trust, effectiveness votes, temporal decay, and provenance + depth (`RANKING_W_*`, validated to sum to 1.0) instead of ordering by distance alone — closing the + ACE loop so a helpful vote actually raises a memory next time, with the same signal ranking a + low-trust or poisoned write down. Off by default; unproven signals use neutral priors so the + un-voted corpus is never buried. `relevance_score` now reflects the fused score. +- **v2 integrity hash + backfill.** The signature now covers `scope` and `trust_level` (v1 covered + only content, so a direct DB scope-flip verified clean), is delimited and domain-separated, and is + stored with a `v2:` prefix; `verify_integrity` still accepts v1 for legacy rows. `add_batch` now + signs (it never did), consolidation re-signs the merged keeper, and PATCH re-signs on a trust + relabel. `scripts/backfill_integrity.py` upgrades unsigned/v1 rows (idempotent, `--dry-run`, + `--project-id`). Migration 0010 widens `integrity_hash`. + ### Security +- **The ACE routes were an unguarded surface.** The W1 sweeps keyed on `MemoryRepository`, so the + entire `ACERepository` path was invisible: `POST /memories/ace/reflection` wrote unscanned, + unsigned memories straight into `global` scope with a body-supplied `agent_id`, and + `/ace/playbook`, `/ace/playbook/agent`, `/ace/vote`, `/ace/curate`, `/ace/consolidate` had the + same class of hole (spoofed identity / unauthorized reads / an unauthenticated vote-poisoning + channel). All now run the full gate set. The authorization sweeps are re-keyed on memory + creation/access (covering `ACERepository`), and a new test pins the files allowed to construct + `Memory(...)` directly, so this recurrence fails CI on the day it is reintroduced. +- **Injection rejected at global scope (W3.2).** `CONTENT_POLICY_INJECTION_GLOBAL_SCOPE` (default + `reject`) escalates a flagged injection to a hard reject for writes entering `global` scope — + readable by every agent in the project — even when the base injection policy only flags. +- **Consolidation cannot launder tampering.** `consolidate_pair` verifies both inputs and refuses a + mismatched pair, so a database-tampered keeper can no longer be re-signed into a valid HMAC. +- **Fixed** a latent crash: `POST /memories/ace/playbook` omitted a required argument when logging + its query event and would 500 on every call. + +### From the previously-unreleased authorization work (W1) + - **`POST /memories/ace/delta` was an unguarded write path.** The first authorization pass covered `memories.py` and `typed_memory.py`; this route was missed.
