Summary
Address high severity security finding in
engine.js.Vulnerability
V-002engine.js:22Description: The application accepts full configuration data via the
--config-data=command line argument, which is visible to all local users via process monitoring tools. The configuration may contain sensitive fields like API keys, paths, and locale settings.Evidence
Exploitation scenario: Local attacker runs
ps aux | grep nodeorcat /proc/<pid>/cmdlineto read the full--config-data=argument containing serialized JSON configuration with potentially sensitive fields.Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-002flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
Threat Model Context
This is a web service - vulnerabilities in request handlers are directly exploitable by remote attackers.
Changes
engine.jsBehavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.
