Reporting a vulnerability

Please do not open a public GitHub issue for security problems. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting on this repository, or email jeff.murray@alumni.upenn.edu with:

  • A description of the issue and steps to reproduce
  • Which example or shared module it affects
  • Your proposed fix or mitigation, if any

You'll get an acknowledgement within 72 hours.

Scope

This repository is a set of demonstrations, not a library or a service. There is no server to attack and nothing here is intended to run in production. What is in scope:

  • Credential handling. shared/llm.py and shared/embeddings.py read API keys from the environment. A path by which a key is logged, written to shared/transcripts/, baked into a Docker layer, or otherwise persisted is a real finding and worth reporting.
  • The permissions example. 08-production-patterns/permissions/ demonstrates that authorization belongs in code rather than in a prompt. If its enforcement layer can be bypassed by a crafted percept, that is a bug in the demonstration and undermines the point it makes.
  • Container hardening. The image runs as a non-root user with a read-only application tree. An escape from those constraints is in scope.
  • Recorded transcripts. shared/transcripts/ holds real model responses. If any of them contain something that should not be published, that is worth reporting privately rather than in an issue.

What is out of scope:

  • Prompt injection against the example agents. 08-production-patterns/permissions/injection_demo.py exists to show that the model agrees to far more than the deterministic layer allows, and that bounding blast radius is the answer rather than detection. A demonstration that a model can be talked into proposing a forbidden action is the documented behaviour, not a vulnerability.
  • Anything requiring the reader to supply their own API key and then misuse it.
