Guardrail System

• Outcome: Review
• Latest audit: Sep 16, 2026 · 10:00 AM UTC
• Version: 1.0.0

Overview

This is a coherent guardrail skill, but its own authorization and redaction code has flaws that could give users false confidence for dangerous tool calls and private-key filtering.

Review before installing as a security control. This skill does not show exfiltration or destructive behavior, but it should not be relied on for enforcing dangerous tool permissions or safely redacting private keys until the mutable permission policy and multiline secret redaction are fixed.

A.I.G

Vulnerability Patterns

• Tool Hijacking and Spoofing: Modifies or replaces tools so legitimate-looking calls execute attacker logic
• Insecure Skill Coding Practices: Finds exploitable flaws such as hardcoded secrets or command injection
• Skill Instruction Hijacking: Alters the agent's session goals or safety constraints when the skill loads
• Agent Memory Poisoning: Writes attacker-controlled rules into memory that affect later sessions
• Remote Payload Retrieval and Execution: Fetches external code whose behavior can change after review

Private-key redaction leaves the complete PEM key body exposed

"GuardrailResult": from guardrail import GuardrailResult sanitized = message found_types = [] for pattern, desc in self.patterns: if pattern.search(sanitized): found_types.append(desc) replacement = self.redacted_templates.get( desc, f"[{desc}已过滤]" ) sanitized = pattern.sub(replacement, sanitized) ``` The bundled example confirms that multiline PEM input is expected: ```python "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIE...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----" ``` ### Technical Analysis The PEM expression matches only the opening delimiter: ```text -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ``` It does not consume the Base64-encoded key material or the closing delimiter. The substitution consequently replaces only the header while returning the sensitive key body and `END PRIVATE KEY` marker in `sanitized_output`. The other `private_key` pattern uses `\S+`, which terminates at whitespace and therefore cannot securely remove a multiline value either. The function nevertheless reports that private-key information was detected and filtered, which can give downstream callers a false assurance that the returned output is safe. ### Attack Path 1. An Agent response contains a complete multiline PEM private key. 2. The response is passed to `OutputGuard.check()`. 3. The opening PEM marker matches the configured expression. 4.

Support all private-key formats relevant to the deployment, including generic PKCS#8, RSA, EC, and OpenSSH private keys. 3. Apply a maximum output size before multiline matching to limit resource consumption. 4. Treat malformed or unterminated private-key blocks conservatively. If an opening private-key marker is found without a valid closing marker, redact or block the remainder of the output. 5. Add tests that assert: - The opening marker is removed. - The complete encoded body is removed. - The closing marker is removed. - Multiple PEM blocks are removed. - Malformed and unterminated PEM blocks fail closed. 6. Consider returning `allowed=False` for high-impact secret types unless the caller explicitly consumes only `sanitized_output`. ]]>

Findings (36)

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 97% confidence

Finding

The description presents the skill as a complete three-layer guardrail system, but the provided code chunk only covers the input-guard portion. Its behavior is limited to abnormal-length detection and prompt-injection pattern matching. No logic for tool authorization levels, permission enforcement, or output filtering/redaction appears in this code. Because the declared primary purpose is a broader three-layer system while the actual code implements only one layer, this is a material description-to-behavior mismatch.

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 98% confidence

Finding

该代码块只包含 scripts/output_guard.py，功能集中于输出内容的正则匹配与脱敏，属于“输出护栏（敏感信息过滤）”的一部分。声明却表示这是一个“三层护栏系统”，包括输入侧 Prompt 注入检测和工具侧权限分级。当前提供代码中没有任何与输入注入检测、工具调用控制、权限分层、触发器管理相关的逻辑。因此描述不能准确代表该代码块的实际行为，属于能力范围被显著高估的描述不匹配。

Content

No source excerpt is available for this finding.

Tp4

High

• Category: MCP Tool Poisoning
• Confidence: 97% confidence

Finding

The description states a broader system with three guardrail layers, but the provided code chunk is narrowly focused on tool permission control. It defines permission levels, hardcoded tool lists, and logic for approval/confirmation/authorization decisions. There is no logic inspecting prompts for injection patterns, nor any logic filtering or redacting sensitive output. Therefore, the actual behavior only partially matches the declared purpose and materially under-implements the claimed capabilities.
