From 2b297bd44aa237b000c7205fb86acd0c7158936c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bastien Chanot Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 19:13:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(agents): security-auditor SAST gate + onboard/audit-delta grafts (verify-loops lot 3) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit agents/security-auditor.md: fresh read-only-on-code SAST gate. Pinned rulesets p/security-audit + p/secrets + p/owasp-top-ten (owasp REQUIRED — measured: the 2-ruleset baseline misses SQLi + path-traversal entirely on realistic Flask code), never --config auto, never auto login (BDR-048). Severity map: secrets ERROR → CRITICAL, other ERROR → HIGH (block), WARNING/INFO → reported. gate mode (diff, no Write) vs audit mode (Write only to REPORT, rule-locked). DEGRADED (semgrep absent) still runs the checklist and still blocks — never a vacuous pass (LRN-048). Anti-gaming: a new un-gated nosemgrep suppression is BLOCKING. PROOF mandatory, mute auditor never a PASS, blind (no iteration history), blocks HIGH/CRITICAL only (LRN-047). Grafts: onboard STEP 6 L3a dispatches it in audit mode (report .onboard-audit/semgrep.md) in BOTH gstack branches — complement to cso (cso is a gstack submodule, unmodifiable); synthesis picks it up via the existing .onboard-audit/ sweep. audit-delta security axis runs the SAST pass first, folds findings into the existing gate/fix/re-verify flow. lib/tests/security-auditor.test.sh: 28 structure locks green, shellcheck clean. Behavioral dogfood (fresh agents on a planted fixture): BLOCK(9) on the vuln commit (2 secrets→CRITICAL, semgrep+checklist complementarity — checklist caught the 6 semgrep missed off-context); BLOCK(1) on a new nosemgrep suppression (understood semgrep's 0 was the mask); DEGRADED → BLOCK(7) on grep-detectable secrets with semgrep hidden. FP measured on real repos (faunosteo, game): owasp adds only hygiene findings, contained by diff-scoping.
