@cloakmaster

Description

@cloakmaster

Security Findings Report

We scanned this repository using Inkog, an AI security scanner, and identified 1 HIGH severity vulnerability related to unsafe deserialization.

Summary

  • 1 HIGH severity unsafe deserialization of LLM/Agent output
  • Governance Score: 83/100
  • Issue: Human Oversight MISSING

Findings

Severity Issue Location Notes
HIGH Unsafe Deserialization of LLM/Agent Output spans.py:15 Taint source: external_data

Details

The vulnerability involves deserializing data from an external source (LLM or agent output) without proper validation. This can lead to:

  • Code execution vulnerabilities
  • Data integrity issues
  • Potential for malicious payload injection

How to Reproduce

You can verify these findings by running Inkog yourself:

npx -y @inkog-io/cli scan . -deep

Recommendations

  1. Validate before deserializing: Implement strict schema validation before deserializing any external data.
  2. Use safe deserialization methods: Consider using safer alternatives like JSON schema validation or type checking.
  3. Sandbox execution: If deserialized data is used in execution contexts, ensure proper sandboxing.
  4. Human oversight: For a production-grade governance score, consider adding human-in-the-loop controls for critical operations.
