## Security analysis
103+
104+
Apply this protocol when reviewing changes that touch security-sensitive areas:
105+
sandbox runtime, policy engine, network egress, authentication, credential
106+
handling, or any path that processes untrusted input (including LLM output).
107+
108+
1. **Threat modeling** — Map the data flow for the change. Where does untrusted
109+
input (from an LLM, user, or network) enter? Where does it exit (to a
110+
shell, filesystem, network, or database)? Identify trust boundaries that
111+
the change crosses.
112+
113+
2. **Weakness mapping** — Tag every security concern with its **CWE ID**. This
114+
makes findings actionable and trackable. For example: CWE-78 for OS command
115+
injection, CWE-94 for code injection, CWE-88 for argument injection.
116+
117+
3. **Sandbox integrity** — Verify that changes do not weaken the sandbox:
118+
- `Landlock` and `seccomp` profiles must not be bypassed or weakened without
119+
explicit justification.
120+
- YAML policies must not be modifiable or escalatable by the sandboxed agent
121+
itself.
122+
- Default-deny posture must be preserved.
123+
124+
4. **Input sanitization** — Reject code that uses string concatenation or
125+
interpolation for shell commands, SQL queries, or system calls. Demand
126+
parameterized execution or strict allow-list validation.
127+
128+
5. **Dependency audit** — For new crates or packages, assess supply chain risk:
129+
maintenance status, transitive dependencies, known advisories.
130+
131+
### Security checklist
132+
133+
Reference this when reviewing security-sensitive changes. Not every item
134+
applies to every PR — use judgment.
135+
136+
- **CWE-78/88 (Command/Argument Injection):** Can untrusted input reach a
137+
shell command or process argument?
138+
- **CWE-94 (Code Injection):** Can LLM responses or user input be evaluated
139+
as code?
140+
- **CWE-22 (Path Traversal):** Can file paths be manipulated to escape
141+
intended directories?
142+
- **CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management):** Does the change grant more
143+
permissions than necessary?
144+
- **OWASP LLM06 (Excessive Agency):** Does the agent have more permissions
145+
in its default policy than its task requires?
146+
- **Supply chain:** Do new dependencies introduce known vulnerabilities or
147+
unmaintained transitive dependencies?
