# Changelog

All notable changes to the LLM Security Plugin are documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).

## [7.3.1] - 2026-05-01

Stabilization patch. No behavior changes. Sets the public stance, tightens
documentation, and removes coherence drift so forkers and downstream
organizations get a consistent starting point.

### Added

- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — public fork-and-own guide. Explains why PRs are not
  accepted on the upstream repo, how to fork well (rename plugin, change
  security contact, preserve LICENSE, re-establish trust), what is welcome
  via issues, and the bar for inline-diff suggestions the maintainer may
  apply directly.
- `README.md` "Project scope" section — public statement of stabilization
  mode (effective 2026-05-01) plus an out-of-scope table naming what is
  fork-and-own territory: web dashboard, fleet policy server, runtime
  prompt firewall, IDE LSP, compliance PDF/DOCX pack, enterprise ticketing
  connectors, multi-tenancy, ML-based detectors, marketplace UI,
  SSO/SCIM/RBAC. Each row points at the commercial alternative
  (Snyk, Lakera, Vanta, Splunk SOAR, parry-guard, etc.).
- `package.json`: `bugs.url` field, `CONTRIBUTING.md` / `SECURITY.md` /
  `CHANGELOG.md` added to the `files` whitelist so npm-published artifacts
  ship with full project documentation.

### Changed

- `SECURITY.md` rewritten. Supported-versions table moves from `5.1.x`
  (stale since v6.0.0) to current reality: 7.3.x active, 7.0–7.2 best-effort,
  < 7.0 EOL. Adds explicit best-effort solo-project response timeline (7
  days ack, 14 days triage, 30 days fix for High/Critical), expands scope
  list to cover `bin/llm-security.mjs`, and notes that out-of-scope
  vulnerabilities (e.g., adaptive ML-based bypass) get an explanatory
  response rather than silent ignore.
- `README.md` "Feedback & contributing" section now links to
  `CONTRIBUTING.md` and the new "Project scope" section.
- `package.json` URL fields corrected to point at the
  `ktg-plugin-marketplace` monorepo (the canonical home for this plugin).
  `homepage` now deep-links to `plugins/llm-security/`, `repository.url`
  uses the marketplace repo with a `directory: "plugins/llm-security"`
  field (npm convention for monorepo plugins), and `bugs.url` routes to
  the marketplace issue tracker. Earlier values referenced a standalone
  `claude-code-llm-security` repo that was never published — the plugin
  is distributed via the marketplace mechanism, not as an independent
  package.
- `CLAUDE.md` "Public Repository" section replaced with a "Distribution"
  section that documents the marketplace install path and removes the
  stale standalone-repo references.
- Scanner `VERSION` constants synced to plugin version. Previously
  `dashboard-aggregator.mjs` and `posture-scanner.mjs` reported `6.0.0`
  in scan output and SARIF, mismatching the actual plugin version.
  All three standalone scanners (`dashboard-aggregator`, `posture-scanner`,
  `ide-extension-scanner`) now report `7.3.1`.

### Fixed

- `tests/hooks/pre-compact-scan.test.mjs` size-cap timing test ceiling
  raised from 500 ms to 1000 ms. The 500 ms hard cap was a flake source
  on Intel Mac and CI runners under load, while the design target
  (documented in `CLAUDE.md`) remains <500 ms. The test now catches
  order-of-magnitude regressions without breaking on hardware/CI noise.

### Notes

- This is the first patch on the stabilization line. Future 7.3.x
  releases will be limited to bug + security fixes and small
  knowledge-base refreshes that fit the existing deterministic
  architecture. v8.0.0 remains scheduled as the deprecation cleanup
  for the env vars and `riskScoreV1` constant deprecated in v7.3.0;
  see "Project scope" in `README.md` for the longer-term direction.
- Wave E (additional attack-simulator scenarios mentioned in the v7.3.0
  changelog as "deferred to v7.3.1") is now deferred indefinitely.
  Coverage remains at 72 scenarios. Forkers who want broader red-team
  coverage are encouraged to extend `knowledge/attack-scenarios.json`.

## [7.3.0] - 2026-05-01

Batch C release. Closes 12 implementation tasks (E3, E8-E14, 8.4, 8.6,
8.7, 8.10) across four execution waves: Wave A (bash evasion + decoder),
Wave B (supply chain + workflow scanner), Wave C (MCP cumulative drift),
Wave D (code quality). Wave E (9 new attack-simulator scenarios for the
new defenses) deferred to v7.3.1 — the defenses themselves are unit-tested
per wave; the deferred work adds attack-simulator regression coverage on
top.

### Added

- **E8 — T7 process-substitution normalization** in
  `scanners/lib/bash-normalize.mjs`. Collapses `<(cmd)` and `>(cmd)`
  process-substitution wrappers so the inner command name is surfaced
  to downstream destructive-command name matchers in
  `pre-bash-destructive.mjs`. Defends against split-command evasion.
  Nested wrappers handled up to depth 3. Single-quoted literals
  masked before T7 runs to avoid corrupting string content.

- **E10 — T9 eval-via-variable normalization** in
  `scanners/lib/bash-normalize.mjs`. Substitutes one-level variable
  assignments before destructive-name matching. One-level forward-flow
  only: chained-var attacks intentionally not followed (documented
  limit). Bare-form, curly-form, and double-quoted forms supported;
  single-quoted literals preserved.

- **E9 — T8 base64-pipe-shell BLOCK rule** in
  `hooks/scripts/pre-bash-destructive.mjs`. Direct match on the
  base64-decode-pipe-into-shell loader idiom — blocks the
  encoded-payload runner pattern that bypasses static name-matching by
  delivering the destructive command as encoded text.

- **E3 — rot13 layer for hidden-imperative comment-block detection**
  in `scanners/lib/injection-patterns.mjs`. The decoder is bounded
  in length to keep accidental rot13-look-alike short strings out of
  scope. Base64/hex/URL/HTML decoding is already done by
  `normalizeForScan`; the rot13 pass is the only genuinely new layer.

- **E12 — `.gitattributes` filter/diff/merge driver advisory** in
  `scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs`. New `scanGitAttributes(repoDir)`
  exported helper plus post-clone integration in the `clone` CLI
  branch — surfaces filter, diff, and merge driver directives as
  MEDIUM advisories so downstream consumers see the supply-chain
  surface that survives even a sandboxed clone.

- **E13 — npm scope-hopping typosquat detection** in
  `hooks/scripts/pre-install-supply-chain.mjs`. New shared
  `NPM_OFFICIAL_SCOPES` export from `scanners/lib/supply-chain-data.mjs`.
  When an install targets `@<scope>/<name>` where `<scope>` is unknown
  but `<name>` matches a popular unscoped package, the hook emits a
  MEDIUM advisory. Allowlist of legitimate scopes drives suppression.
  Configurable via `policy.json` `supply_chain.allowed_scopes`.

- **E11 — workflow-injection scanner** (`scanners/workflow-scanner.mjs`).
  Scans `.github/workflows/*.{yml,yaml}` and `.forgejo/workflows/*.{yml,yaml}`
  for dangerous expression interpolations inside `run:` step blocks.
  23-field canonical blacklist (GHSL Security Lab 17 + GlueStack-class
  6) targeting attacker-controlled fields. Sink-restricted: only
  `run:` steps are shell sinks; `if:`, `with:`, `env:`, `name:`,
  `runs-on:` are evaluated by the runner's expression engine, not the
  shell, and are suppressed. Severity matrix: privileged triggers →
  HIGH; semi-privileged → MEDIUM; safe fields (numeric / hex /
  fixed-string) → INFO. State machine extracted to
  `scanners/lib/workflow-yaml-state.mjs` for unit-level testability.
  Re-interpolation tracking — env-block bindings sourced from
  blacklisted fields, then read back inside `run:`, are flagged at
  MEDIUM as the Appsmith GHSL-2024-277 stealth pattern. Auth-bypass
  detection — `(github|forgejo).actor` compared against bot
  identities in `if:` conditions flagged at MEDIUM (Synacktiv 2023
  Dependabot spoofing class). New `WFL` prefix in
  `scanners/lib/severity.mjs` OWASP map. Registered in
  `scanners/scan-orchestrator.mjs`.

- **E14 — MCP cumulative-drift baseline** in
  `scanners/lib/mcp-description-cache.mjs`. Sticky `baseline` slot per
  tool plus a 10-event rolling `history` array (FIFO). Cumulative
  drift = `levenshtein(current, baseline.description) / max(|current|,
  |baseline|)`; when ratio ≥ `mcp.cumulative_drift_threshold`
  (default 0.25), `post-mcp-verify.mjs` emits a MEDIUM
  `mcp-cumulative-drift` advisory independent of the existing
  per-update >10% drift signal — both fire independently. Slow-burn
  rug-pulls that keep each update under the per-update threshold but
  cumulatively diverge from baseline are now caught. Baseline survives
  the 7-day TTL purge so detection persists across the full window.
  New `/security mcp-baseline-reset` slash command (plus
  `scanners/mcp-baseline-reset.mjs` CLI: `--list`, `--target <tool>`,
  or no-args clear-all) lets the user acknowledge a legitimate MCP
  server upgrade. New `LLM_SECURITY_MCP_CACHE_FILE` env var overrides
  the cache path for end-to-end testing without polluting the user's
  real `~/.cache/llm-security/mcp-descriptions.json`. Migration logic
  in `loadCache()` seeds `baseline` from existing entries on first
  read post-upgrade.

- **8.7 — env-var deprecation warnings** in
  `scanners/lib/policy-loader.mjs`. New `getPolicyValueWithEnvWarn(section,
  key, envVarName, defaultValue)` helper. Env-var still wins per
  existing Preferences, but when BOTH the env-var AND the
  `policy.json` key are explicitly set, the helper emits a single
  per-process stderr deprecation line pointing to v8.0.0 removal.
  Module-scoped `Set` dedupes per env-var name across call-sites.
  `DEFAULT_POLICY` gains `trifecta.escalation_window: 5` (closes the
  gap where `LLM_SECURITY_ESCALATION_WINDOW` had no `policy.json`
  equivalent). Wired through 4 hook call-sites:
  `pre-prompt-inject-scan`, `post-session-guard` (×2), and
  `audit-trail`. Env-only vars without `policy.json` equivalents are
  unchanged.

### Changed

- **8.10 — CLAUDE.md hooks count corrected** from `## Hooks (8)` to
  `## Hooks (9)`. Adds `pre-compact-scan.mjs` row to the hooks table
  (PreCompact — transcript scan before context compaction). The hook
  itself shipped in v6.2.0 but the count and table row drifted. New
  `Hooks count consistency` `describe` block in
  `tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs` parses `hooks/hooks.json`,
  reads the CLAUDE.md `## Hooks (\d+)` header and the table rows,
  and asserts all three counts agree — locks in the fix and prevents
  future drift.

### Documentation

- **8.4 — `riskScoreV1` annotated `@deprecated`** in
  `scanners/lib/severity.mjs`. JSDoc explicitly tags v7.0.0 as the
  introduction of the v2 model and v8.0.0 as the removal target for
  v1, so library consumers see the deprecation in IDE tooling and
  not just in release notes. The function remains exported and
  functional for users who relied on it.

- **8.6 — sandbox-architecture rationale** in
  `docs/security-hardening-guide.md` §7. Documents why
  `lib/git-clone.mjs` and `lib/vsix-sandbox.mjs` remain separate
  rather than being collapsed into a single shared sandbox helper.
  Brief `Preferences` explicitly rejected the consolidation as
  premature abstraction over safety-critical code; the rationale is
  recorded so future maintainers see the deliberate decision.

### Tests

- 1665+ → 1777 (Wave A-D cumulative; ~+112 tests). Includes new
  files (`tests/scanners/bash-normalize-t7-t9.test.mjs`,
  `tests/lib/git-clone-gitattributes.test.mjs`,
  `tests/scanners/workflow-scanner.test.mjs`,
  `tests/lib/workflow-yaml-state.test.mjs`,
  `tests/scanners/mcp-baseline-reset.test.mjs`) plus extensions to
  `tests/lib/injection-patterns.test.mjs`,
  `tests/hooks/pre-bash-destructive.test.mjs`,
  `tests/hooks/pre-install-supply-chain.test.mjs`,
  `tests/scanners/scan-orchestrator.test.mjs`,
  `tests/lib/mcp-description-cache.test.mjs`,
  `tests/hooks/post-mcp-verify.test.mjs`,
  `tests/lib/severity.test.mjs`,
  `tests/lib/policy-loader.test.mjs`,
  `tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs`. One pre-existing
  size-cap timing flake at `tests/hooks/pre-compact-scan.test.mjs`
  passes in isolation, fails sporadically under full-suite load —
  unchanged across Wave A-D, not a Batch C blocker.

### Notes

- **Wave E deferred (red-team coverage).** The plan called for 9 new
  attack-simulator scenarios covering every Wave A-D defense. The
  work was deferred from v7.3.0 because two of the scenarios test
  scanners (workflow-scanner, git-clone `scanGitAttributes`) that
  don't fit the existing hook-spawn model used by attack-simulator
  and would have required a new `scanner_test` execution mode.
  Tracked for v7.3.1. Defenses are unit-tested per wave; this is
  regression coverage on top of unit coverage, not the primary
  safety net.

- **Hooks runtime behavior unchanged for existing setups.** Every
  Wave A-D addition is either purely additive (new advisories at
  MEDIUM) or layered before existing detection (T7/T9 normalize
  before existing destructive-name matching; rot13 inside the
  existing decoder loop; cumulative-drift independent of per-update
  drift). Users who set neither the new `policy.json` keys nor the
  new env-vars see identical behavior.

## [7.2.0] - 2026-04-29

Batch B release. Closes the remaining critical-review B-tier scanner
defects (B3, B5, B6, B7), lands the v7.2.0 evasion-arsenal hardening
patches (E1, E4, E5, E7, E15, E16, E17, E18), unifies the v1→v2
risk-score formula across documentation surfaces, and ships 8 new
red-team scenarios (64 → 72) plus a polyglot fixture for the entropy
two-stage pipeline.

### Added

- **B6 destructuring/spread taint propagation** (`scanners/taint-tracer.mjs`).
  `extractAssignedVariable` now recognises `const { secret: userInput } = req.body`
  and `const [input, ...rest] = process.argv` — destructured and spread
  bindings carry their tainted source into downstream usage.
  `extractAssignedVariable` exported for direct unit testing.
  `+19 tests`.

- **B7 token-overlap typosquat fallback** (`scanners/lib/string-utils.mjs`,
  `scanners/dep-auditor.mjs`, `scanners/supply-chain-recheck.mjs`).
  New `tokenize` / `tokenOverlap` helpers + `TYPOSQUAT_SUSPICIOUS_TOKENS`
  list catch typosquats that Levenshtein distance misses
  (e.g. `chalk-color-utility` vs `chalk`). `+21 tests`.

- **E15 `.claude/agents/*.md` memory-poisoning glob** (`scanners/memory-poisoning-scanner.mjs`).
  Agent definitions are now scanned alongside `CLAUDE.md` and rules.
  New fixture + `+3 tests`.

- **E1 hidden-Unicode coverage extended to PUA-A and PUA-B**
  (`scanners/lib/string-utils.mjs`). `containsUnicodeTags` now flags
  U+F0000–U+FFFFD (Supplementary Private Use Area-A) and U+100000–U+10FFFD
  (Supplementary Private Use Area-B) in addition to the U+E0000 Tag block.
  PUA characters do not decode to ASCII (they have no standard mapping)
  but their presence is suspicious enough to emit a HIGH advisory.
  `+21 tests`.

- **E16 homoglyph fold before pattern matching**
  (`scanners/lib/string-utils.mjs`, `scanners/lib/injection-patterns.mjs`).
  New `foldHomoglyphs` (NFKC + targeted Cyrillic/Greek → Latin map)
  runs before every pattern match in `scanForInjection`. Attacks like
  `ignоre previous instructions` (Cyrillic `о`) now trigger the same
  CRITICAL pattern as the Latin form. ASCII fast-path keeps the helper
  zero-cost on plain text. `+27 tests`.

- **E17 configurable escalation window + 20-call MEDIUM advisory**
  (`hooks/scripts/post-session-guard.mjs`). The
  `LLM_SECURITY_ESCALATION_WINDOW` env-var now overrides the primary
  escalation-after-input window (default 5). A secondary 20-call
  MEDIUM advisory catches slow-burn variants outside the primary
  window. `+5 tests`.

- **E4 markdown link-title injection scan** (`hooks/scripts/post-mcp-verify.mjs`).
  Every `[text](url "title")` title is HTML-entity-decoded and run
  through `scanForInjection`. Bypassed the existing HTML-tag-gated
  checks pre-E4. `+3 tests`.

- **E5 SVG `<desc> / <title> / <metadata> / <foreignObject>` extractor**
  (`hooks/scripts/post-mcp-verify.mjs`). Adversarial text inside SVG
  containers is invisible in the rendered image but parsed by an
  agent reading the source. `+3 tests`.

- **E7 generalized HTML comment scan** (`hooks/scripts/post-mcp-verify.mjs`).
  Pre-E7 the `<!-- AGENT|AI|HIDDEN -->` keyword-restricted CRITICAL
  pattern fired only on marked comments. Now every `<!-- ... -->`
  body is decoded and scanned. The keyword pattern still fires
  (defense-in-depth). `+3 tests`.

- **8 new red-team scenarios** (`knowledge/attack-scenarios.json`).
  UNI-007/008 (E1 PUA-A/PUA-B), UNI-009 (E16 Greek-Latin homoglyph
  fold blocks), MCP-005 (E4), MCP-006/007 (E5 desc/foreignObject),
  MCP-008 (E7), TRI-004 (E17 escalation-after-input).
  `attack-simulator.mjs` baseline: 64 → 72, 100 % pass.

### Changed

- **B5 entropy two-stage pipeline** (`scanners/entropy-scanner.mjs`).
  New `classifyFileContext(absPath, lines)` returns
  `'shader-dominant' | 'markup-dominant' | 'code-dominant' | 'mixed'`,
  keyed off file extension with a content-density fallback for
  code-extension files (≥50 % sampled lines matching GLSL/inline-markup
  → downgrade to `mixed`). `isFalsePositive` now accepts the context
  and gates rules 11-13 (GLSL / CSS-in-JS / inline-markup
  line-proximity) on `context !== 'code-dominant'`. Polyglot `.ts`
  files with embedded GLSL blocks no longer suppress credentials
  adjacent to shader keywords (the v7.0.0 false-negative class).
  Conservative defaults preserve existing rule-11 / 12 / 13 behaviour
  for the single-line `.js` / `.jsx` test fixtures. New fixture
  `tests/fixtures/entropy/polyglot-ts-with-glsl.ts`. `+3 tests`.

- **E18 entropy rule 18 — markdown-image CDN-aware + secret pre-check**
  (`scanners/entropy-scanner.mjs`). Pre-E18, every
  `![…](https?://…)` line was suppressed regardless of host or query.
  Now suppression requires (host matches `MARKDOWN_IMAGE_CDN_HOSTS`
  allowlist) AND (no secret-shaped token in query). Non-CDN hosts and
  CDN hosts carrying `?token=…` / `?api_key=…` / AWS / GitHub / npm
  prefixes fall through to entropy classification. `+4 tests`.

- **v1 → v2 risk-formula constants unified across docs**
  (`commands/scan.md`, `commands/audit.md`, `agents/mcp-scanner-agent.md`,
  `agents/posture-assessor-agent.md`). The four files referenced the
  legacy v1 `score >= 61` / `score >= 21` / `Critical × 25` constants;
  authoritative implementation in `scanners/lib/severity.mjs` has been
  v2 (`BLOCK ≥65`, `WARNING ≥15`, severity-dominated log-scaled tiers)
  since v7.0.0. `tests/lib/doc-consistency.test.mjs` adds a guard so
  these surfaces cannot drift back. `+28 tests`.

### Documentation

- **B3 `info` severity is scoring-inert** (`scanners/lib/severity.mjs` JSDoc,
  `CLAUDE.md`). Documents the long-standing implementation: `info`
  findings appear in OWASP aggregates but contribute zero to
  `risk_score`, `verdict`, and `riskBand`. `+1 anchor test`.

### Tests

- **1522 → 1665+** (Wave 1 +29, Wave 2 +43, Wave 3 +53, Wave 4 +9,
  Wave 5 +7, Wave 6 attack scenarios). All green except the
  documented `pre-compact-scan` perf-flake (passes 6/6 in isolation,
  fluctuates around the 500 ms ceiling under full-suite parallelism).
  `attack-simulator`: 64 → 72 scenarios, 100 % pass.

### Notes

- E15 (`.claude/agents/*.md` glob) and E18 (entropy rule 18 CDN
  allowlist) are scanner-only — they have unit / integration
  coverage in their respective scanner test files and no
  `attack-simulator.mjs` scenario.

## [7.1.1] - 2026-04-29

Patch release. Closes the narrative-coherence gap that survived v7.0.0:
the severity-dominated risk score corrected the numbers, but the agent
prompt continued to emit raw signals and walk them back as
"false positive" in prose, producing whiplash in the rendered report.
v7.1.1 makes severity assignment context-first at the prompt level and
adds a structural counter for suppressed signals.

### Fixed

- **Agent prompt context-first severity** (`agents/skill-scanner-agent.md`).
  New Step 2.5 mandates that every signal has exactly one disposition —
  suppressed (counted only) or reported (full finding) — with the split
  happening before severity is assigned. The phrases "false positive",
  "legitimate framework", and "no action required" are forbidden in
  finding-body text and reserved for the new `## Suppressed Signals`
  section. Verdict Logic section was also updated to reference v2 tiers
  and cutoffs from `severity.mjs` (BLOCK ≥65, WARNING ≥15) — replaces
  the stale v1 sum-and-cap formula that had been left in place after
  the v7.0.0 numeric overhaul.
- **Template v1 → v2 risk constants** (`templates/unified-report.md`).
  HTML-comment header at lines 55-66 now describes the v2 tiers and
  cutoffs the engine has been using since v7.0.0. Adds an
  `### Narrative Audit` block inside Executive Summary surfacing
  `summary.narrative_audit.suppressed_findings.{count, by_category}` for
  reviewer transparency. The block does NOT affect verdict computation.

### Added

- **`tests/scanners/skill-scanner-narrative.test.mjs`** — 11 assertions
  against `tests/fixtures/skill-scan/hyperframes-like/`. Covers
  deterministic content-extractor (exactly 1 HIGH HITL trap, ≥ 2
  framework env-var refs, has_injection true on any signal,
  has_critical_injection false), entropy scanner (calibration block
  present, ≤ 1 finding after suppression), inline co-monotonicity
  guard (`{ high: 1 }` → WARNING / High), and prompt-contract static
  assertions on `agents/skill-scanner-agent.md` and
  `templates/unified-report.md`.
- **`tests/fixtures/skill-scan/hyperframes-like/`** — synthetic skill
  with HTML5 canvas / CSS keyframes / inline SVG data URI noise plus
  exactly one genuine HITL trap signal. Committed (not gitignored).
  `.llm-security-ignore` uses the canonical `SCANNER:glob` format
  (`ENT:**/*.md`).

### Tests

- 1511 → 1522 tests (adds 11 new). Co-monotonicity sweep at
  `tests/lib/severity.test.mjs:252-303` unchanged and green.

### Why

Hyperframes.com re-test on 2026-04-19 produced `risk_score 20 / WARNING /
1 HIGH` numerically (correct after v7.0.0) but the agent listed 8
findings in prose and walked 6 back as "false positive". v7.1.1 closes
the structural gap that allowed this: severity is assigned ONCE,
context-first, and suppressed signals are categorical telemetry rather
than free-text walk-backs.

### Out of scope (flagged for Batch B)

- `commands/scan.md:113-114` retains the v1 risk formula and acts as a
  third source of truth alongside agent prompt and severity.mjs. Will
  be unified in v7.2.0.

## [7.1.0] - 2026-04-29

Patch release closing the highest-impact items from the v7.0.0 adversarial review
(`docs/critical-review-2026-04-20.md`, grade B-). Bug-fixes plus an honesty-sweep on
documentation language. No new features and no behavioral changes outside the listed
fixes.

### Fixed

- **Pathguard regex hole — `.env.*.*.*` could be written without blocking** (`hooks/scripts/pre-write-pathguard.mjs`). The old `ENV_PATTERNS` only matched a single dotted segment after `.env`, so `.env.production.local.backup`, `.env.prod.local.bak`, etc. slipped through. Replaced with `/[\\/]\.env(\.[A-Za-z0-9._-]+)*$/` covering arbitrary multi-segment suffixes. `.envrc` continues to be allowed. Commit `751f119`. (Critical-review B1.)
- **Distributed trifecta in BLOCK mode only warned** (`hooks/scripts/post-session-guard.mjs`). The previous block-gate required *both* `LLM_SECURITY_TRIFECTA_MODE=block` *and* a "concentrated" or "sensitive-path" qualifier, so a trifecta whose three legs landed on different MCP servers without a sensitive path was advisory-only. Removed the AND-gate; block mode now blocks any detected trifecta. Commit `36be963`. (Critical-review B2.)
- **JSDoc/CHANGELOG arithmetic for `riskScore({critical: 4})`** (`scanners/lib/severity.mjs:23`, `CHANGELOG.md` v7.0.0 tier description). The actual computation has always been `70 + log2(5)*10 = 93.22 → round → 93`; only the docs said `90`. Fixed; pin test added. (Critical-review B4.)

### Changed

- **Honesty-sweep on documentation language** (`CLAUDE.md`, `commands/ide-scan.md`, `knowledge/mitigation-matrix.md`, `docs/security-hardening-guide.md`). Critical-review §9 flagged a set of overclaim phrasings; rewritten while preserving accurate underlying claims:
  - "Trustworthy scoring (BREAKING)" → "Severity-dominated risk scoring (v2 model, BREAKING)"
  - "Context-aware entropy scanner" → "Rule-based entropy scanner with file-extension skip, 8 line-level suppression rules, and configurable policy"
  - "1487 tests" → "1511 unit and integration tests; mutation-testing coverage not published"
  - "Fully Schrems II compatible" → "Schrems II compatible in default offline mode. Optional OSV.dev enrichment is a separate compliance consideration"
  - "Rule of Two enforcement" → "Rule of Two detection (configurable; default warn; blocks on high-confidence trifectas in opt-in `block` mode)"
  - "Hardened ZIP extractor" → suffix " — no fuzz-testing results published to date"
  - "defense-in-depth" → preserved, but quantified in `docs/security-hardening-guide.md` §4: "three independent detection layers with documented bypass classes"
- **CaMeL claims toned down** (`hooks/scripts/post-session-guard.mjs:646`, `CLAUDE.md:184`). Implementation is opportunistic byte-matching of truncated output fingerprints (first 200 bytes, SHA-256/16-hex tag) — trivially bypassed by mutation, summarisation, or re-encoding. Renamed framing from "CaMeL-inspired data-flow tagging (SHA-256 provenance tracking)" to "output fingerprint matching (inspired by CaMeL but not a CaMeL capability-tracking implementation)". (Critical-review B8.)
- **Plugin version:** `7.0.0 → 7.1.0` across `package.json`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs` (`VERSION`), README badge, CLAUDE.md header, marketplace root README. Test count `1487 → 1511` in marketplace root README.

### Tests

- **+8 tests for B1 pathguard** (`tests/hooks/pre-write-pathguard.test.mjs`): 6 multi-segment BLOCK + 1 `.envrc` ALLOW + 1 sentinel.
- **+1 test for B2 distributed trifecta** (`tests/hooks/post-session-guard.test.mjs`): three legs from different sources blocked under `block` mode.
- **+15 sweep tests + 1 anchor test for verdict/riskBand co-monotonicity** (`tests/lib/severity.test.mjs`): asserts `(verdict, riskBand)` agree under v7.0.0 contract for representative count vectors. Catches future drift between scoring tiers, verdict cutoffs, and riskBand cutoffs. Anchor test pins `riskScore({critical: 4}) === 93` so doc/code drift fails loudly.
- **Total: 1511 tests** (was 1487). All green.

### Why

- Pathguard and trifecta-block bugs were live security holes — both fixed at the
  hook level so users on the default install get the fix automatically.
- The honesty-sweep is a deliberate response to the critical-review CISO-perspective
  (§F): "Would a CISO install this?" — overclaim language was identified as a
  blocker for regulated environments. Toning it down does not weaken the actual
  defenses; it lets users trust the documentation.

## [7.0.0] - 2026-04-19

### BREAKING CHANGES
- **Risk-score formula rewritten** (`scanners/lib/severity.mjs`). The v1 sum-and-cap formula (`critical*25 + high*10 + medium*4 + low*1`, capped at 100) collapsed every non-trivial scan to 100/Extreme regardless of actual risk distribution. v2 is severity-dominated and log-scaled within tier:
  - Critical present → 70–95 (1=80, 2=86, 4=93, 10=95)
  - High only → 40–65 (1=48, 5=60, 17=65)
  - Medium only → 15–35 (1=20, 5=28, 50=33)
  - Low only → 1–11 (1=4, 10=11)
  - None → 0
  Verdict cutoffs realigned to new bands: `BLOCK` if critical ≥1 or score ≥65, `WARNING` if high ≥1 or score ≥15. Legacy v1 formula kept as `riskScoreV1()` for reference only. CI pipelines with `--fail-on` thresholds may need recalibration — see `docs/security-hardening-guide.md` §6.
- **Verdict/band cutoffs aligned for co-monotonicity.** Old cutoffs (BLOCK ≥61, WARNING ≥21) could produce "BLOCK / Medium band" or "ALLOW / High band" contradictions. New cutoffs (65, 15) are locked to the v2 `riskBand()` boundaries.

### Added
- **Context-aware entropy scanner** (`scanners/entropy-scanner.mjs`). Skip-lists and line-level rules drastically reduce false positives in shader/CSS/HTML/SQL-heavy codebases:
  - File-extension skip: `.glsl, .frag, .vert, .shader, .wgsl, .css, .scss, .sass, .less, .svg` + compound `.min.js, .min.css, .map`
  - Line-level rules 11–18 in `isFalsePositive()`: GLSL keywords (`uniform`, `vec3`, `texture2D`...), CSS-in-JS templates (`styled.`), inline `<svg>` markup, ffmpeg `filter_complex` syntax, browser `User-Agent` strings, SQL DDL on dedicated lines (`^\s*(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE|CREATE|...)`), `throw new Error(\`…\`)` templates, markdown image syntax with external URLs (`![alt](https://cdn…)` — common in JSON content indexes)
  - Scanner envelope gains `calibration` block: `files_skipped_by_extension`, `files_skipped_by_path`, effective `thresholds`, and `policy_source` (`'default' | 'policy.json'`)
- **Policy-driven entropy configuration** — `.llm-security/policy.json` `entropy` section accepts:
  - `thresholds.{critical,high,medium}.{entropy,minLen}` — override defaults per project
  - `suppress_extensions: string[]` — additional file extensions to skip
  - `suppress_line_patterns: string[]` — user-defined regexes for line suppression
  - `suppress_paths: string[]` — substring match against `relPath` to skip entire paths (e.g., `"vendored/"`)
- **DEP typosquat allowlist expansion** (`knowledge/typosquat-allowlist.json`). 22 npm + 5 PyPI entries for short-name modern tools that tripped Levenshtein detection on nearly every real codebase:
  - npm: `knip`, `oxlint`, `tsx`, `nx`, `rimraf`, `glob`, `tar`, `zod`, `ky`, `ow`, `esm`, `ip`, `qs`, `url`, `prettier`, `vitest`, `vite`, `rollup`, `swc`, `turbo`, `bun`, `deno`
  - PyPI: `uv`, `ruff`, `rich`, `typer`, `anyio`
- **Synthesizer "Scan Calibration" section** (`agents/deep-scan-synthesizer-agent.md`). Heuristic: omit if <5% files skipped, flag prominently if >80% skipped by path (signals over-aggressive user policy). Agent instructed to NEVER override scanner verdict with narrative opinion.
- **26 new unit tests** (`tests/scanners/entropy-context.test.mjs`): A. File-extension skip (4), B. Line-level rules 11–18 (10), C. Policy overrides (3); plus expanded `tests/lib/severity.test.mjs` with v2 scoring/band/verdict tables (70 tests total, was 52). **Total: 1487 tests (was 1461).**

### Changed
- `tests/lib/output.test.mjs:243` — "1 critical = score 80" under v2 (was 25 under v1).
- `scanners/lib/file-discovery.mjs` — `TEXT_EXTENSIONS` now includes `.sass` and GPU shader source extensions (`.glsl, .frag, .vert, .shader, .wgsl`) so these files are discovered and explicitly counted as skipped by the entropy scanner instead of invisibly filtered out.
- Plugin version: `6.6.0 → 7.0.0` across `package.json`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs` (`VERSION`), README badge, CLAUDE.md header, marketplace root README.

### Why
- **Real-world scan on `hyperframes.com` produced `BLOCK / Extreme / 100` with ~70% noise** (shader strings, CSS gradients, bundled JS, Levenshtein false positives). A scanner that cries "extreme" on every project destroys its own credibility — users learn to ignore findings, so genuine threats slip past.
- **Trustworthiness comes from calibration, not from detecting everything.** v7.0.0 accepts that some detection heuristics are noisy in context (entropy on shaders, typosquat on 2–3 letter tool names) and gives users both built-in suppression and policy-driven override controls.
- **Verdict/score/band co-monotonicity fixed.** A user can now correctly reason: "HIGH band → WARNING verdict" without reading the source. The v1 cutoffs allowed a mid-High score (42) to produce ALLOW and a low-Medium score (22) to produce WARNING.

## [6.6.0] - 2026-04-18

### Added
- **JetBrains/IntelliJ plugin scanning.** `/security ide-scan` extends beyond VS Code forks to cover the JetBrains IDE family: IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, GoLand, WebStorm, RubyMine, PhpStorm, CLion, DataGrip, RustRover, Rider, Aqua, Writerside, Android Studio. Fleet and Toolbox are intentionally excluded (different plugin model, out of scope)
- **OS-aware JetBrains plugin discovery** in `lib/ide-extension-discovery.mjs` — macOS `~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/<IDE><version>/plugins/`, Windows `%APPDATA%\JetBrains\...`, Linux `~/.config/JetBrains/...`. Regex excludes Fleet/Toolbox
- **Zero-dep `META-INF/plugin.xml` + `META-INF/MANIFEST.MF` parsers** in `lib/ide-extension-parser-jb.mjs` with nested-jar extraction for the common `<plugin-root>/lib/*.jar → META-INF/plugin.xml` layout
- **7 JetBrains-specific checks** in `runJetBrainsChecks`: `checkThemeWithCodeJB`, `checkBroadActivationJB` (`application-components`), `checkPremainClassJB` (HIGH — javaagent retransform), `checkNativeBinariesJB`, `checkDependsChainJB` (long mandatory `<depends>` = supply-chain pressure), `checkTyposquatJB` (Levenshtein vs top JetBrains plugins), `checkShadedJarsJB` (advisory — many bundled jars)
- **JetBrains Marketplace URL fetch.** Supports `https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/<numericId>-<slug>` (metadata resolves numericId → xmlId, then downloads) and `https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/download?pluginId=<xmlId>[&version=<v>]` (direct download). Host allowlist: `plugins.jetbrains.com` only
- **`fetchJetBrainsPlugin`** in `lib/vsix-fetch.mjs` with the same safety envelope as VSIX fetch (50 MB cap, 30 s timeout, SHA-256, manual redirect host whitelist)
- **`lib/jetbrains-fetch-worker.mjs`** — sub-process worker mirroring the VSIX worker's JSON-line IPC. Shares the sandbox primitives through parameterized `buildSandboxedWorker(dirs, workerPath)`
- **`.kt`, `.groovy`, `.scala`** added to `scanners/taint-tracer.mjs` `CODE_EXTENSIONS` so Kotlin/Groovy/Scala plugin sources are covered by taint analysis
- **Knowledge additions:** `knowledge/jetbrains-marketplace-api-notes.md`, expanded `knowledge/ide-extension-threat-patterns.md` with JetBrains sections, seeded `knowledge/top-jetbrains-plugins.json` (no longer a stub) with `loadJetBrainsBlocklist` helper
- **8 new test files / suites** covering JetBrains data, parsers, discovery, checks, URL fetch (unit + integration), end-to-end scan against a real JetBrains-layout fixture tree, plus a deterministic fixture-jar builder (`tests/helpers/build-jetbrains-fixtures.mjs`) that produces byte-identical reproducible jars. Total: 1461 tests (was 1352)

### Changed
- `buildSandboxedWorker(dirs)` → `buildSandboxedWorker(dirs, workerPath)` — parameterized so the same sandbox wrapper is reused for VSIX and JetBrains workers instead of copying the primitives a third time
- `/security ide-scan` command description updated to reflect the JetBrains branch; "JetBrains is a v1.1 stub" wording removed
- `CLAUDE.md` and plugin README updated: scanner bullet rewritten to document the JetBrains branch, the seven JB-specific checks, and the new knowledge files
- Plugin version: 6.5.0 → 6.6.0 across `package.json`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs` (`VERSION`), README badge, CLAUDE.md header, marketplace root README
- `tests/scanners/git.test.mjs` — loosened `findings.length` caps (were too tight for organic repo growth; baseline already exceeded them)

### Why
- Parity with the VS Code branch: organizations running IntelliJ-family IDEs get the same pre-install and installed-plugin coverage Koi-style supply-chain attacks now target across both platforms
- Reuse of `lib/vsix-sandbox.mjs` honors the user-memory rule "don't copy a third sandbox" — one set of primitives, two workers, same kernel-enforced FS confinement
- JetBrains-specific checks target the platform's real attack surface: `Premain-Class` javaagents (class retransform at JVM startup), `application-components` (global lifecycle hooks), nested-jar shading (dependency opacity), and typosquat on `com.intellij.*` / `org.jetbrains.*` namespaces

## [6.5.0] - 2026-04-17

### Added
- **OS sandbox for `/security ide-scan <url>`.** VSIX fetch + extract now runs in a sub-process wrapped by `sandbox-exec` (macOS) or `bwrap` (Linux), reusing the same primitives proven by the `git clone` sandbox introduced in v5.1. Defense-in-depth: even if `zip-extract.mjs` has an undiscovered bypass, the kernel refuses any write outside the per-scan temp directory
- **`scanners/lib/vsix-fetch-worker.mjs`** — Sub-process worker. Argv: `--url <url> --tmpdir <writable-dir>`. Emits a single JSON line on stdout (`{ok, sha256, size, finalUrl, source, extRoot}` or `{ok:false, error, code?}`). Exit 0 on success, 1 on failure. Silent on stderr
- **`scanners/lib/vsix-sandbox.mjs`** — Wrapper. Exports `buildSandboxProfile`, `buildBwrapArgs`, `buildSandboxedWorker(tmpDir, args)`, `runVsixWorker(url, tmpDir, opts)`. 35 s timeout, 1 MB stdout cap, deterministic JSON-line protocol
- **`scan(url, { useSandbox })` option.** Default `true` for CLI invocations; tests pass `false` to keep `globalThis.fetch` mocking working (mocks do not cross process boundaries). When sandbox unavailable on the platform (e.g., Windows), a warning is added to `meta.warnings` and the scan still completes via the in-process fallback
- **`meta.source.sandbox`** — New envelope field: `'sandbox-exec' | 'bwrap' | 'none' | 'in-process'`. Tells the report which protection layer was actually active
- **8 new tests** in `tests/scanners/vsix-sandbox.test.mjs` covering profile generation per platform, worker arg construction, and live worker exit behavior on invalid URLs (no network required)

### Changed
- `fetchAndExtractVsixUrl` in `ide-extension-scanner.mjs` is now sandbox-aware (`useSandbox` option, default `true`). Existing in-process logic preserved as fallback path
- Version bump: 6.4.0 → 6.5.0 across all files

### Why
- Aligns the IDE-scan URL pipeline with the same defense-in-depth posture as the GitHub clone pipeline — kernel-enforced FS confinement instead of in-process validation alone
- VSIX is untrusted bytes from a third-party registry; even with hardened parsing, an OS sandbox is the right blast-radius constraint for filesystem writes

## [6.4.0] - 2026-04-17

### Added
- **`/security ide-scan <url>` — pre-install verification.** The IDE extension scanner now accepts URLs as targets and fetches the VSIX before scanning. Supported sources:
  - VS Code Marketplace: `https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=publisher.name`
  - OpenVSX: `https://open-vsx.org/extension/publisher/name[/version]`
  - Direct VSIX download: `https://example.com/path/foo.vsix` (HTTPS only)
- **`scanners/lib/vsix-fetch.mjs`** — HTTPS-only fetcher with 50 MB compressed cap, 30 s total timeout, SHA-256 streamed during download, manual redirect handling with per-source host whitelist (Marketplace gallerycdn, OpenVSX blob storage). No npm dependencies — uses Node 18+ `fetch`
- **`scanners/lib/zip-extract.mjs`** — Zero-dependency ZIP parser + safe extractor. Rejects: zip-slip via `..` paths, POSIX absolute paths, Windows drive letters, NUL bytes, encrypted entries, ZIP64, multi-disk archives, unsupported compression methods, symlink entries (Unix `0xA000` mode bits in `external_attr`). Caps: 10 000 entries, 500 MB uncompressed total, 100× expansion ratio (sum-uncomp / sum-comp), depth 20. STORE + DEFLATE only
- **Envelope `meta.source`** — When invoked with a URL, the scan envelope's `meta.source` field carries `{ type: "url", kind, url, finalUrl, sha256, size, publisher, name, version, requestedUrl }` so reports can attribute findings to the upstream artifact
- **`knowledge/marketplace-api-notes.md`** — Reference notes for the (undocumented but stable) Marketplace direct-download endpoint and the (officially documented) OpenVSX endpoints used by `vsix-fetch.mjs`
- **48 new tests** across `tests/scanners/zip-extract.test.mjs` (validateEntryName / isSymlink / extractToDir happy + adversarial), `tests/scanners/vsix-fetch.test.mjs` (detectUrlType / isAllowedHost / readBodyCapped), `tests/scanners/ide-extension-url.test.mjs` (URL flow integration with `global.fetch` mock — Marketplace, OpenVSX, direct VSIX, malformed VSIX, zip-slip VSIX, network failure, unsupported URL, GitHub URL). 1344 tests total (was 1296). Test helper: `tests/lib/build-zip.mjs` builds adversarial ZIPs that real `zip` tools refuse to emit

### Changed
- `scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs` early-detects URL targets and routes through fetch + extract → temp dir → existing single-target scan path. Temp directory cleaned in `try/finally` regardless of success/error/abort
- CLI help text in `bin/llm-security.mjs` and `commands/ide-scan.md` updated with URL examples and security model
- Version bump: 6.3.0 → 6.4.0 across all files

### Not supported (intentional)
- GitHub repo URLs — would require `npm install` + `vsce package` build step. Use the Marketplace, OpenVSX, or a direct `.vsix` URL instead
- VSIX `.signature.p7s` verification — deferred to v6.5.0 (requires X.509 / PKCS#7 parsing)
- ZIP64 archives — real-world VSIX never approaches the 4 GB threshold

## [6.3.0] - 2026-04-17

### Added
- **IDE extension prescan** — New `/security ide-scan` command and `scanners/ide-extension-scanner.mjs` (prefix IDE) discover and audit installed VS Code extensions across 6 roots (`~/.vscode/extensions`, `~/.vscode-insiders/extensions`, `~/.cursor/extensions`, `~/.windsurf/extensions`, `~/.vscode-oss/extensions`, `~/.vscode-server/extensions`, plus Linux `code-server`). OS-aware discovery via `scanners/lib/ide-extension-discovery.mjs`. Manifest parsing via `scanners/lib/ide-extension-parser.mjs`. Data loading via `scanners/lib/ide-extension-data.mjs`. JetBrains discovery is a v1.1 stub.
- **7 IDE-specific detection categories** — Blocklist match (CRITICAL), theme-with-code (HIGH, Material Theme pattern), sideload `.vsix` (HIGH unsigned / MEDIUM signed), broad activation `*` / `onStartupFinished` (MEDIUM/LOW, suppressed for top-100 exact matches), Levenshtein typosquat ≤2 vs top-100 (HIGH distance-1 / MEDIUM distance-2 against top-50), extension-pack expansion ≥3 (MEDIUM), dangerous `vscode:uninstall` hooks referencing `child_process`/`curl`/`wget`/`rm`/`powershell` (HIGH/LOW)
- **Per-extension scanner orchestration** — Each discovered extension runs through UNI, ENT, NET, TNT, MEM, SCR scanners with bounded concurrency (default 4). MEM gets a filtered file list (README.md / CHANGELOG.md / package.json) to catch prompt-injection in marketplace-rendered text
- **New knowledge files** — `knowledge/ide-extension-threat-patterns.md` (10 categories with 2024-2026 case studies from Koi Security — GlassWorm, WhiteCobra, TigerJack, Material Theme, VS Code Cryptojacking, MaliciousCorgi), `knowledge/top-vscode-extensions.json` (top ~100 Marketplace IDs + blocklist), `knowledge/top-jetbrains-plugins.json` (stub)
- **CLI integration** — `bin/llm-security.mjs` gains `ide-scan` subcommand with passthrough flags
- 22 new tests in `tests/scanners/ide-extension-scanner.test.mjs` (fixtures under `tests/fixtures/ide-extensions/`). 1296 tests total (was 1274)

### Changed
- Version bump: 6.2.0 → 6.3.0 across all files

## [6.2.0] - 2026-04-17

### Added
- **Bash-normalize T5 + T6** — `scanners/lib/bash-normalize.mjs` now collapses `${IFS}` word-splitting (T5) and ANSI-C hex quoting `$'\xHH'` (T6) before the denylist gate runs. Defense-in-depth layer complementing the Claude Code 2.1.98+ harness fixes. 4 new unit tests in `tests/scanners/bash-normalize.test.mjs`
- **PreCompact hook** — `hooks/scripts/pre-compact-scan.mjs` scans the transcript tail (default 500 KB) for injection patterns before Claude Code compacts context. Prevents poisoned summaries from surviving into the next turn. Modes: `block` / `warn` / `off` via `LLM_SECURITY_PRECOMPACT_MODE`. 6 new tests in `tests/hooks/pre-compact-scan.test.mjs`. Brings total hooks to 9
- **Security hardening guide** — `docs/security-hardening-guide.md` documents environment variables (`CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL`, `ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H`, `CLAUDE_CODE_SCRIPT_CAPS`, all `LLM_SECURITY_*` modes), sandboxing (`sandbox-exec` / `bwrap` / fallback), T1-T6 normalization table, Opus 4.7 system card §5.2.1 + §6.3.1.1 alignment, baseline production recommendations

### Changed
- **Agent refactor for Opus 4.7 literal instruction following** — `agents/skill-scanner-agent.md` and `agents/mcp-scanner-agent.md` reframe stacked CANNOT/MUST NOT imperatives in favor of tool-level enforcement via `tools:` frontmatter. New Step 0 "Generaliseringsgrense" blocks (cite evidence path:line, mark speculation as speculation) and "Parallell Read-strategi" notes (prefer parallel Read calls for independent file reads)
- **Defense Philosophy linked to Opus 4.7 system card** — `CLAUDE.md` §Defense Philosophy now cites Opus 4.7 system card §5.2.1 (multi-layer defenses) and §6.3.1.1 (instruction hierarchy → tool-level enforcement)
- Version bump: 6.1.0 → 6.2.0 across all files

## [6.1.0] - 2026-04-10

### Added
- **`--fail-on <severity>` flag** — CI-friendly exit codes: exit 1 when any finding at or above the specified severity exists (critical/high/medium/low). Configurable via `policy.json` `ci.failOn`
- **`--compact` output mode** — One-liner per finding format (`[SEVERITY] scanner: title (file:line)`), reduces CI log noise. Configurable via `policy.json` `ci.compact`
- **CI/CD pipeline templates** — Ready-to-use templates in `ci/`: GitHub Actions (`github-action.yml`), Azure DevOps (`azure-pipelines.yml`), GitLab CI (`gitlab-ci.yml`) with SARIF upload, Node 18 setup
- **CI/CD integration guide** — `docs/ci-cd-guide.md` with 5-minute setup per platform, Schrems II/NSM compliance documentation, exit code reference
- **npm publish preparation** — `files` whitelist in `package.json` (only `bin/` + `scanners/`), `.npmignore` safety net, `homepage` field
- **Policy `ci` section** — New `ci: { failOn, compact }` section in `.llm-security/policy.json` for distributable CI configuration

### Changed
- Version bump: 6.0.0 → 6.1.0 across all files

## [6.0.0] - 2026-04-10

### Added
- **Compliance mapping** — `knowledge/compliance-mapping.md` maps plugin capabilities to EU AI Act (Art. 9, 15, 17), NIST AI RMF (Map, Measure, Manage, Govern), ISO 42001 (Annex A), and MITRE ATLAS techniques (AML.T IDs)
- **Norwegian regulatory context** — `knowledge/norwegian-context.md` covers Datatilsynet (DPIA for AI), NSM (basic security principles), and Digitaliseringsdirektoratet guidance
- **SARIF 2.1.0 output** — `scanners/lib/sarif-formatter.mjs` converts scan output to OASIS SARIF standard format. Use `--format sarif` with scan/deep-scan commands
- **Structured audit trail** — `scanners/lib/audit-trail.mjs` writes JSONL audit events with ISO 8601 timestamps, OWASP category tags, and SIEM-ready schema. Configurable via `LLM_SECURITY_AUDIT_*` env vars
- **AI-BOM generator** — `scanners/ai-bom-generator.mjs` + `scanners/lib/bom-builder.mjs` produce CycloneDX 1.6 Bills of Materials for AI components (models, MCP servers, plugins, knowledge, hooks)
- **Policy-as-code** — `scanners/lib/policy-loader.mjs` reads `.llm-security/policy.json` for distributable hook configuration. Integrated into all 8 hooks. Env vars always take precedence
- **Standalone CLI** — `bin/llm-security.mjs` provides `npx llm-security` entry point. Subcommands: `scan`, `deep-scan`, `posture`, `audit-bom`, `benchmark`
- **Posture compliance categories** — 3 new posture categories (14: EU AI Act, 15: NIST AI RMF, 16: ISO 42001). Advisory only — do not affect Grade A threshold
- **Attack simulator benchmark mode** — `--benchmark` flag outputs structured pass/fail metrics for CI integration

### Changed
- Version bump: 5.1.0 → 6.0.0 across all files
- Knowledge base expanded from 13 to 15 files
- Scanner count: 15 → 16 (AI-BOM generator added)
- Posture scanner: 13 → 16 categories
- All hooks now read policy from `.llm-security/policy.json` (backward-compatible — defaults match hardcoded values)

## [5.1.0] - 2026-04-07

### Added
- **Sandboxed remote cloning** — `git clone` for remote scans is now hardened with two defense layers:
  1. Git config flags: `core.hooksPath=/dev/null`, `core.symlinks=false`, `core.fsmonitor=false`, all LFS filter drivers disabled, `protocol.file.allow=never`, `transfer.fsckObjects=true`. Environment: `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1`, `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=/dev/null`, `GIT_ATTR_NOSYSTEM=1`, `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`
  2. OS-level filesystem sandbox: macOS `sandbox-exec` and Linux `bubblewrap` (bwrap) restrict file writes to only the specific temp directory. Even if `.gitattributes` filter drivers bypass git config, they cannot write outside the clone dir. bwrap probe-tests availability before use (graceful fallback on Ubuntu 24.04+ where AppArmor blocks it). Graceful fallback on Windows (git config flags only, WARN logged)
- **Post-clone size check** — Repos exceeding 100MB after clone are rejected and cleaned up
- **UUID-unique evidence filenames** — `fs-utils.mjs tmppath` now generates unique filenames with `crypto.randomUUID()` suffix, preventing race conditions between concurrent scans
- **Evidence file cleanup** — `scan.md` and `plugin-audit.md` now clean up evidence files (content-extract, plugin-extract) after scanning
- **Cleanup guarantee** — Both `scan.md` and `plugin-audit.md` have explicit cleanup guarantee: temp dir + evidence file are removed even if scan fails or errors

### Changed
- `scanners/lib/git-clone.mjs` — complete rewrite of clone command with sandbox wrapping
- `scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs` — tmppath uses `crypto.randomUUID()` for unique names

## [5.0.0] - 2026-04-06

### Added
- **Prompt Injection Hardening (v5.0)** — 8-session defense-in-depth overhaul driven by 7 research papers (2025-2026). Defense philosophy: broader detection + increased attack cost + longer monitoring windows + architectural constraints + honest documentation
- **MEDIUM advisory wiring** — `pre-prompt-inject-scan.mjs` emits advisory for MEDIUM-severity obfuscation signals (leetspeak, homoglyphs, zero-width, multi-language). Never blocks. `post-mcp-verify.mjs` includes MEDIUM in injection scan advisory
- **Unicode Tag steganography** — `string-utils.mjs` decodes U+E0001-E007F (invisible ASCII encoding). CRITICAL if decoded content matches injection patterns, HIGH for bare presence. Integrated into `normalizeForScan()` pipeline
- **BIDI override stripping** — Removes directional override characters before injection scanning
- **Bash expansion normalization** — New `bash-normalize.mjs` strips `${}`, empty quotes, backslash splits before command matching. Applied in `pre-bash-destructive.mjs` and `pre-install-supply-chain.mjs`
- **Rule of Two enforcement** — `post-session-guard.mjs` gains `LLM_SECURITY_TRIFECTA_MODE=block|warn|off` (default: warn). Block mode exits with code 2 for MCP-concentrated trifecta or sensitive path + exfiltration
- **100-call long-horizon monitoring** — Extended window alongside 20-call sliding window. Slow-burn trifecta detection (legs >50 calls apart = MEDIUM). Behavioral drift via Jensen-Shannon divergence on tool-class distribution
- **HITL trap detection** — HIGH patterns for approval urgency, summary suppression, scope minimization. MEDIUM for cognitive load (injection buried in verbose output)
- **Sub-agent delegation tracking** — `post-session-guard.mjs` tracks Task/Agent tool usage. Escalation-after-input advisory when delegation occurs within 5 calls of untrusted input (DeepMind Agent Traps kat. 4)
- **Natural language indirection** — MEDIUM patterns for "fetch this URL and execute", "send this data to", "read ~/.ssh". Strict false-positive tests for benign phrasing
- **Hybrid attack patterns** — P2SQL (SQL keywords in injection text), recursive injection (injection containing injection), XSS in agent context (`<script>`, `javascript:`, `onerror=`)
- **CaMeL-inspired data flow tagging** — SHA-256 provenance tracking in `post-session-guard.mjs`. Hash of tool output → match against subsequent tool input. Linked data flows elevate trifecta severity
- **Adaptive red-team** — `attack-simulator.mjs --adaptive` runs 5 mutation rounds per passing scenario: homoglyph substitution, encoding wrapping, zero-width injection, case alternation, synonym substitution. Rules in `knowledge/attack-mutations.json`
- **Knowledge base expansion** — `prompt-injection-research-2025-2026.md` (7 papers), `deepmind-agent-traps.md` (6 categories, 43 techniques), `attack-mutations.json` (synonym tables). Attack scenarios expanded from 38 to 64 across 12 categories
- **Posture scanner expanded to 13 categories** — New: Prompt Injection Hardening (cat 11), Rule of Two (cat 12), Long-Horizon Monitoring (cat 13). Checks for MEDIUM advisory, Unicode Tag detection, bash normalization, TRIFECTA_MODE, behavioral drift
- **Defense Philosophy section** in CLAUDE.md — honest documentation of what v5.0 can and cannot do, based on joint paper findings (95-100% ASR against all tested defenses)
- 8 new posture scanner tests (49 total for posture)

### Changed
- Posture scanner version updated to 5.0.0
- Dashboard aggregator version updated to 5.0.0
- Red-team scenarios expanded from 38 to 64 across 12 categories
- Knowledge files count: 10 -> 13

## [4.5.1] - 2026-04-04

### Fixed
- **Cross-platform support (Windows/Linux).** Replaced all Unix-only patterns: `fileURLToPath()` instead of `import.meta.url.replace('file://', '')`, `path.dirname()` instead of `lastIndexOf('/')`, native `fetch()` instead of `curl` subprocess (Node 18+), removed `2>/dev/null` from shell commands, fixed tilde expansion regex for Windows backslash paths. 11 files changed, 782 tests pass.

## [4.5.0] - 2026-04-04

### Added
- **Attack simulation / red-team mode** — `scanners/attack-simulator.mjs` runs 38 crafted attack scenarios across 7 categories against the plugin's own hooks. Data-driven: scenarios defined in `knowledge/attack-scenarios.json`, payloads assembled at runtime via fragment concatenation (avoids triggering hooks on source file). Categories: secrets (7), destructive (8), supply-chain (4), prompt-injection (6), pathguard (6), mcp-output (4), session-trifecta (3). CLI: `node scanners/attack-simulator.mjs [--category <name>] [--json] [--verbose]`. Library: `import { loadScenarios, runScenario, resolvePayloads }`
- **`/security red-team` command** — attack simulation with category filter (`--category secrets|destructive|...`). Narrative report with per-category breakdown and defense score
- **`knowledge/attack-scenarios.json`** — 38 red-team scenarios with placeholder payloads (`{{MARKER}}` syntax), resolved at runtime to actual attack strings
- 31 new tests for attack simulator (unit + integration + CLI)

## [4.4.0] - 2026-04-03

### Added
- **Cross-project security dashboard** — `scanners/dashboard-aggregator.mjs` discovers all Claude Code projects under ~/ (depth 3) and ~/.claude/plugins/, runs posture-scanner on each, aggregates results. Machine grade = weakest link across all projects. Cache in `~/.cache/llm-security/dashboard-latest.json` (24h staleness). CLI: `node scanners/dashboard-aggregator.mjs [--no-cache] [--max-depth N]`. Library: `import { aggregate, discoverProjects }`
- **`/security dashboard` command** — machine-wide security overview with per-project grade table, sorted by grade (worst first). Shows cache status, total findings, and recommendations based on machine grade
- 16 new tests for dashboard aggregator (discovery, aggregation, caching, grade logic)

## [4.3.0] - 2026-04-03

### Added
- **MCP description drift detection** — `scanners/lib/mcp-description-cache.mjs` caches MCP tool descriptions in `~/.cache/llm-security/mcp-descriptions.json` with 7-day TTL. Compares via Levenshtein distance — >10% change triggers advisory (OWASP MCP05 rug-pull). `extractMcpServer()` exported for server attribution
- **MCP-concentrated trifecta** — `post-session-guard.mjs` now detects when all 3 lethal trifecta legs (input + access + exfil) originate from the same MCP server, elevating severity. Single compromised server pattern
- **Cumulative data volume tracking** — `post-session-guard.mjs` tracks total output bytes per session, warns at 100KB (LOW), 500KB (MEDIUM), 1MB (HIGH) thresholds (OWASP ASI02)
- **Per-MCP-tool volume tracking** — `post-mcp-verify.mjs` tracks cumulative output per MCP tool, warns when a single tool exceeds 100KB (OWASP ASI02, MCP03)
- **MCP drift integration in post-mcp-verify** — checks MCP tool descriptions on every invocation against cached baseline, advisory on significant drift
- 35 new tests: 16 for mcp-description-cache, 5 for post-mcp-verify drift/volume, 14 for post-session-guard MCP features

## [4.2.0] - 2026-04-03

### Added
- **Supply chain re-check scanner** — `scanners/supply-chain-recheck.mjs` (prefix SCR) periodically re-audits installed dependencies by parsing lockfiles (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, requirements.txt, Pipfile.lock). Checks against curated blocklists, OSV.dev batch API (`/v1/querybatch`) for known CVEs, and Levenshtein-based typosquat detection against top-packages knowledge base. Offline fallback: blocklist + typosquat checks run without network, INFO finding notes skipped CVE check. OWASP: LLM03, ASI04, AST06, MCP04
- **Shared supply chain data module** — `scanners/lib/supply-chain-data.mjs` extracts blocklists (NPM/PIP/Cargo/Gem), helper functions, and OSV.dev API calls shared between the hook (`pre-install-supply-chain.mjs`) and the new scanner
- **`/security supply-check` command** — standalone dependency re-audit with focused output. CLI wrapper: `node scanners/supply-chain-recheck-cli.mjs <path>`
- SCR prefix added to all 4 OWASP maps (LLM, ASI, AST, MCP) in severity.mjs
- Supply chain scanner integrated into scan-orchestrator (10th scanner, runs before toxic-flow)
- Test fixtures: `tests/fixtures/supply-chain/` with compromised and clean lockfiles for npm, pip, yarn, Pipfile
- 30 new tests for supply-chain-recheck scanner and shared module

### Changed
- `pre-install-supply-chain.mjs` hook refactored to import blocklists and helpers from shared `supply-chain-data.mjs` module (reduced duplication by ~160 lines)

## [4.1.0] - 2026-04-03

### Added
- **Reference configuration generator** — `scanners/reference-config-generator.mjs` generates Grade A security configuration based on posture scanner gaps. Detects project type (plugin/monorepo/standalone). Templates in `templates/reference-config/`. CLI: `node scanners/reference-config-generator.mjs [path] [--apply]`. Library: `import { generate } from './reference-config-generator.mjs'`
- **`/security harden` command** — runs posture scanner, identifies gaps, generates settings.json (deny-first), CLAUDE.md security section, and .gitignore additions. Supports `--dry-run` (default) and `--apply` (writes with backup). Post-apply verification re-runs posture scanner to confirm improvement
- Reference config templates: `settings-deny-first.json`, `claude-md-security-section.md`, `gitignore-security.txt`
- 23 new tests for reference-config-generator (grade-a, grade-f, apply mode, project type detection)

## [4.0.0] - 2026-04-03

### Added
- **Deterministic posture scanner** — `posture-scanner.mjs` replaces the Opus-based posture-assessor-agent for `/security posture`. 10 categories assessed in <50ms (was ~6 min with agent). Scanner prefix PST. Standalone CLI: `node scanners/posture-scanner.mjs [path]` → JSON stdout. Categories: Deny-First, Secrets, Path Guarding, MCP Trust, Destructive Blocking, Sandbox, Human Review, Plugin Sources, Session Isolation, Cognitive State Security. Reuses `scanForInjection()` and `gradeFromPassRate()` from shared libraries. Grade A/B/C/D/F with risk score, risk band, and verdict
- PST prefix added to all 4 OWASP maps (LLM, ASI, AST, MCP) in severity.mjs
- Test fixtures: `tests/fixtures/posture-scan/grade-a-project/` (Grade A) and `grade-f-project/` (Grade F)
- 41 new tests for posture scanner (interface, grade-a, grade-f)

### Changed
- `/security posture` now uses deterministic scanner via Bash instead of spawning posture-assessor-agent. Instant results, zero token cost
- `/security audit` runs posture scanner first for instant category data, then agents for narrative and skill/MCP analysis
- Posture-assessor-agent retained for full audit narrative only

## [3.1.1] - 2026-04-03

Post-processing correlator consuming output from all prior scanners. Direct, cross-component, and project-level detection with mitigation downgrades. OWASP: ASI01, ASI02, ASI05
- **Runtime session guard** (v2.7.1) — PostToolUse hook monitoring tool call sequences for lethal trifecta forming during a session. Sliding window (20 calls), per-session JSONL state in `/tmp/`, advisory warning (never blocks). Auto-cleanup after 24h
- **MCP runtime inspection** (v2.8.0) — Standalone scanner (`mcp-live-inspect.mjs`, prefix MCI) connecting to running MCP stdio servers via JSON-RPC 2.0. Fetches live tool/prompt/resource lists, scans descriptions for injection patterns, detects tool shadowing across servers. 10s timeout per server. New `/security mcp-inspect` command. `/security mcp-audit --live` flag for combined static + live analysis
- **Auto update notifications** (v2.8.1) — UserPromptSubmit hook checking for newer plugin versions against the public Forgejo repo (max 1x/24h, cached in `~/.cache/llm-security/`). Disable: `LLM_SECURITY_UPDATE_CHECK=off`
- **Report diffing & baseline** (v2.9.0) — `diff-engine.mjs` library for finding fingerprinting, fuzzy line matching (+-3), and diff categorization (new/resolved/unchanged/moved). Scan orchestrator gains `--baseline` and `--save-baseline` flags. Baselines stored per target hash in `reports/baselines/`. New `/security diff` command
- **Continuous scanning** (v2.9.1) — `/security watch [path] [--interval 6h]` using built-in /loop for recurring diff scanning. `watch-cron.mjs` standalone script for system cron/launchd with multi-target config and exit codes
- **Skill signature registry** (v2.9.2) — `skill-registry.mjs` library for SHA-256 fingerprinting of normalized skill content, scan result caching (7-day staleness), and pattern search. New `/security registry` command. `/security scan` checks registry before full scan for instant results on known fingerprints
- **OWASP Skills Top 10** (v2.6.0) — New knowledge file `owasp-skills-top10.md` (AST01-AST10) with skill-specific threat definitions and mitigations
- **MEDIUM injection patterns** (v2.6.0) — ~15 new patterns: base64 payloads, leetspeak, homoglyphs, multi-language mixing, markdown/HTML comment injection
- **4-framework OWASP mapping** (v2.6.0) — Full coverage of LLM Top 10, Agentic AI Top 10 (ASI), Skills Top 10 (AST), MCP Top 10 in severity.mjs
