Textual matching is defeated by a leading path (`/bin/curl`), quoting, a chained command (`ls; curl …`), an embedded newline, an environment assignment, or an inline interpreter script; each of those is refused, and unparseable input fails closed. Entries are argv prefixes, so `"git status"` permits `git status --short` but not `git push`. Closes the gap where `shell.run` was named in the README's threat model with no bundled rule to cover it. Fixes #71 +- security: `ShellCommandAllowList` refuses environment assignments rather than stripping them. An earlier revision of this branch skipped `NAME=value` tokens to find the real binary and then discarded them, which made `PATH=/tmp/pwn ls`, `LD_PRELOAD=… ls` and `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=core.fsmonitor GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0=id git status` all pass while executing attacker-chosen code through an allowlisted command. Assignments are now blocked by default — the dangerous names are not enumerable — with an explicit `allowed_env={"LANG"}` opt-in. Found by an adversarial sweep before release; never shipped +- security: inline-script detection is structural instead of a list of four exact spellings. `bash -lc`, `sh -ec`, `python -cCODE`, `perl -0e`, `node --eval`, `node --eval=…`, `node -p`, `python -` and `sh -s` all reached the interpreter unblocked before; bundled short clusters, values attached to the flag, long forms with `=value`, and stdin scripts are now all recognised. Found by the same sweep +- docs: correct two claims this branch made that the code did not honour — environment-assignment *stripping* was described as a hardening feature when it was the largest hole, and "inline interpreter scripts are rejected … even if the interpreter is allowlisted" was false for most spellings. The guarantee is now scoped honestly: inline-script rejection is best-effort, `awk 'BEGIN{system(…)}'` needs no flag at all, and `ShellCommandAllowList` emits a `UserWarning` when the allowlist names a known interpreter +- feat: `ShellCommandAllowList` rejects an allowlist entry that could never match (one beginning with an assignment, or naming bare `env`), instead of silently leaving the defender believing it was in force +- feat: add `NoDangerousShellPatterns`, a raw-text tripwire for the unsubtle (`rm -rf`, `curl … | sh`, `$(…)`, `sudo`, `/etc/shadow`). Documented throughout as a tripwire, explicitly **not** a shell parser or security boundary — unlike the allowlist it only blocks on a positive match, so it is safe to attach to a multi-argument tool +- feat: `Violation` gains a machine-readable `category` field, and every bundled rule now sets one (`credential`, `sensitive_keyword`, `not_allowlisted`, `invalid_url`, `scheme_not_allowed`, `userinfo_trick`, `metacharacter`, `interpreter`, `destructive_command`, `network_utility`, `unparseable`). Defaults to `unspecified`, so a hand-written policy predating the field keeps working +- feat: `ModelFuzzBlockError` exposes `.category`, `.rule_name` and `.violation`, so an agent loop can branch on *why* a call was blocked instead of regex-matching the reason text — a block is a policy decision, not an infrastructure failure, and the two want different handling. `str(exc)` is unchanged +- feat: blocks are logged with an additional `modelfuzz_category` structured field +- docs: add "Branching on why a call was blocked" and "Guarding shell commands" README sections, record both shell rules' limits in Limitations, and extend `AGENTS.md` with the shell rules and the rule that recovery logic keys on `.category`, never on `.reason` + - feat: add `SecretPatternFilter`, a bundled policy that blocks tool-call arguments carrying a recognisable credential — Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, AWS, GitHub, Google and Slack key formats, JWTs, and PEM private-key headers. Where `SensitiveDataFilter` matches the *word* "password", this matches the *shape* of a real key, closing the gap where a live `sk-…` or `AKIA…` passed straight through the bundled default. Opt-in: the bare `@shield_tool` default is unchanged. Extend with `extra_patterns=` or replace the table with `patterns=`. Fixes #70 - fix: the block reason for a matched credential names the format only and never quotes the matched text — blocks are logged at `WARNING`, and a reason carrying the key would leak the very thing the rule exists to contain - docs: add a "Blocking real credentials" README section, record `SecretPatternFilter`'s limits (listed formats only; matches shape, not validity) in Limitations, and update `AGENTS.md` so assistants stop reporting that ModelFuzz cannot detect credentials diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index a280eaa..8582f20 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -77,7 +77,25 @@ except ModelFuzzBlockError as e: result = f"Tool call blocked by policy: {e}" # hand this back to the model ``` -Blocks are also logged at `WARNING` on the `modelfuzz` logger with structured fields (`modelfuzz_tool`, `modelfuzz_rule`, `modelfuzz_reason`) for your audit trail.
