What counts as a vulnerability here

In the verifier (src/derivation_agent_record/): the interesting failure is not code execution, it is a record that makes a false claim and verifies anyway. If you can construct a record whose events do not support what its replayed state asserts, and this verifier accepts it, that is the bug this project cares about most. Also in scope:

  • a way to make verify accept a record whose hash chain has been altered;
  • a rendered viewer.html that fetches anything, executes script, or shows something the record does not contain;
  • a crash that a record can trigger in a way that lets an unsound record pass a pipeline gate.

In the application (src/derivation_runtime/, src/derivation_app/, src/derivation_api/, src/derivation_web/):

  • any way to read the ChatGPT credential (CODEX_HOME/auth.json in the product profile) from a run, a record, a manifest, a log, the web UI or a model's tool call;
  • a model tool call that escapes its run workspace, reaches the network, or reads files outside what the run's capability profile allows;
  • the local server accepting a request from a non-loopback address or a foreign origin;
  • script injection through model output rendered in the web UI.

Out of scope: denial of service from a deliberately enormous record, and anything requiring the attacker to already control the machine running DerivationLab.

Reporting

Email [email protected] with the record and the command you ran. Please include the expected verdict. Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting if you prefer.

Do not attach a record containing third-party source text: a source_evidence_registered event puts that text inside the hash chain, where it cannot be removed afterwards. Reconstruct the case without it.

Expect an acknowledgement within a week. Anything that lets an unsound record verify will be fixed and added to tests/records/must_be_rejected/, with attribution unless you ask otherwise.
