From 73e02132fcaed0ea196c6ac9518411bd74390e88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: parthrohit22 Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 23:48:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(ai): ground AI endpoints in scan evidence and guard prompts and output The AI endpoints trusted a client-supplied findings array, pasted finding text straight into prompts next to the instructions, and passed raw model text through whenever JSON parsing failed (OWASP LLM Top 10: LLM01, LLM05). Evidence - Findings are loaded server-side from a completed scan: scan_id when given, otherwise the latest completed scan (the /api/findings default). The client-supplied findings array still works but is deprecated and cannot be combined with scan_id. - Every response carries an evidence object (source, scan_id, verified, finding_count, findings_in_prompt). Required endpoints fail closed: 404 with no completed scan, 422 when it has no findings, 503 when the lookup fails. Prompts (api/services/ai_guard.py) - Finding fields and the question are stripped of control, bidi and zero-width characters, collapsed to one line, capped, JSON-encoded and placed in data blocks whose delimiters carry a per-request random boundary, with instructions to treat block content as evidence only. - The knowledge-base query is built from rule IDs and names only, so untrusted text no longer steers retrieval. Output - /prioritise and /threat-simulation validate the model's JSON against the evidence. Items citing rules or resources outside it are dropped and counted; malformed output returns 502 instead of raw text. - /prioritise with no findings returns an empty list without a model call. The dashboard no longer sends findings; it lets the server read the scan.

They are now \uXXXX escapes, so every changed file is pure ASCII and nothing invisible sits in the source. - CodeQL py/polynomial-redos: the code-fence regex could backtrack polynomially on hostile model output ("```" followed by many spaces). Fence stripping is now plain string handling, with a regression test that a 200k-character hostile fence is rejected in under a second.
