From 902a8886358c59b98d32bb82328c1612b66ff2d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Day Dreamer <87640074+HugoXK@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:09:43 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Harden the untrusted fence against whitespace inside the tag (#9 family) stripUntrusted and stripMarkers now also strip a marker with whitespace inside the tag (< / untrusted-message>), which a parser that ignores whitespace reads the same. Adds core/test/fence-property.test.js, a corpus of reconstitution attempts checked as a fixed point. --- changelog.d/fence-whitespace.security.md | 1 + core/src/host/delivery.js | 9 ++- core/test/fence-property.test.js | 73 +++++++++++++++++++ docs/subsystems/core-host.md | 2 +- patches/ds-bot/0005-social-seams.patch | 11 +-- .../ds-bot/files/test/fence-property.test.js | 73 +++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 159 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/fence-whitespace.security.md create mode 100644 core/test/fence-property.test.js create mode 100644 patches/ds-bot/files/test/fence-property.test.js diff --git a/changelog.d/fence-whitespace.security.md b/changelog.d/fence-whitespace.security.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..f6431c359 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/fence-whitespace.security.md @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Untrusted-content fences are neutralized more strictly: a marker written with whitespace inside the tag (`< / untrusted-message>`) is now stripped too, since a parser that ignores whitespace reads the same closing marker.
