- Raw Material Modification Violates the Declared Read-Only Boundary## Vulnerability Details **File Location**: `RULES.md`, lines 6 and 65-78; conflicting security boundary in `SKILL.md`, lines 22-24 **Vulnerability Type**: Unauthorized modification of user-controlled source materials **Risk Level**: Medium **Complete Vulnerable Snippet**: ```markdown ### 1.1 Three-Layer Architecture - **Raw Materials Layer**: Stored in the `logseq/pages/` directory. May be modified as necessary (e.g., adding titles, summaries, and cross-references) to avoid becoming orphan documents - **Index Files Layer**: Stored in the `logseq/pages/index/` directory, managed by LLM ``` ```markdown ### 4.2 Orphan Document Processing Workflow 1. **Traversal Scanning**: Traverse all documents in the pages directory 2. **Structure Check**: Check if each document contains title, summary, and cross-references 3. **Reference Analysis**: Analyze the reference status of each document, identify orphan documents 4. **External Link Creation**: Create external links for all documents to ensure linking with other related documents 5. **Cross-references**: Establish bidirectional links between related pages 6. **Index Update**: Update relevant index pages to ensure all documents are indexed ### 4.3 Document Standardization Workflow 1. **Title Addition**: Add main title (# level heading) to all documents 2. **Summary Generation**: Add brief summaries to all documents, summarizing the main content 3. **Cross-reference Addition**: Add cross-references to all documents, linking to related pages 4. **Format Standardization**: Ensure consistent document format, using Markdown format 5. **Index Inclusion**: Ensure all documents are included in relevant index pages ``` This conflicts with the declared boundary in `SKILL.md`: ```markdown ### 1. Raw Materials Layer - **Definition**: User-curated collection of original files, including articles, papers, images, data files, etc. - **Characteristics**: Immutable, read by ...[truncated 2528 chars]
- Remediation
- ## Remediation Suggestions 1. Make the raw-material layer unconditionally read-only and remove the instruction permitting modifications. 2. Store raw materials in a dedicated directory outside every agent-writable directory, for example: - Read-only: `logseq/raw-materials/` - Writable: `logseq/pages/index/` 3. Restrict all generated content and maintenance writes to an explicit path allowlist such as `logseq/pages/index/`. 4. Update `RULES.md` so it is consistent with the immutability guarantee in `SKILL.md`. 5. Replace “all documents” with a precisely defined set of agent-managed files. 6. Require explicit, per-operation user confirmation before modifying any existing document outside the generated-index directory. 7. Provide a dry-run mode that lists proposed files and changes before writing them. 8. Create a backup or version-control checkpoint before approved bulk operations. 9. Reject paths that resolve outside approved writable directories, including traversal through symbolic links or `..` components. 10. Add a provenance marker to generated pages so maintenance operations can reliably distinguish agent-owned content from original materials.
