From b901a8255131ce407cc1ba3e60fb6544e028e324 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nam Nguyen Ngoc Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2026 19:31:56 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): harden web fetch/search against prompt injection and cache poisoning (#80) - Scan web_fetch/web_search tool results for prompt injection patterns via inputGuard - Strip hidden HTML elements (display:none, aria-hidden, sr-only classes) during conversion - Scope web tool caches per channel to prevent cross-channel cache poisoning - Enforce domain blocklist and allowlist checks on HTTP redirect targets - Add untrusted content reminder to external content wrapper - Log redirect source URL in fetch results for transparency Co-authored-by: Nam Nguyen Ngoc --- internal/agent/loop.go | 25 +++++ internal/tools/web_fetch.go | 26 ++++-- internal/tools/web_fetch_convert.go | 6 ++ internal/tools/web_fetch_convert_utils.go | 108 ++++++++++++++++++++++ internal/tools/web_search.go | 5 +- internal/tools/web_shared.go | 2 +- 6 files changed, 161 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/internal/agent/loop.go b/internal/agent/loop.go index 97f83c0a..60a72149 100644 --- a/internal/agent/loop.go +++ b/internal/agent/loop.go @@ -679,6 +679,19 @@ func (l *Loop) runLoop(ctx context.Context, req RunRequest) (*RunResult, error) }, }) + // Security: scan web tool results for prompt injection patterns. + // If detected, prepend warning (don't block — may be false positive). + if (tc.Name == "web_fetch" || tc.Name == "web_search") && l.inputGuard != nil { + if injMatches := l.inputGuard.Scan(result.ForLLM); len(injMatches) > 0 { + slog.Warn("security.injection_in_tool_result", + "agent", l.id, "tool", tc.Name, "patterns", strings.Join(injMatches, ",")) + result.ForLLM = fmt.Sprintf( + "[SECURITY WARNING: Potential prompt injection detected (%s) in external content.
