From d441abba203ee26b1773ddc5e8757ac6159ca414 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kjell Tore Guttormsen Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 15:01:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(post-mcp-verify):=20E7=20=E2=80=94=20scan?= =?UTF-8?q?=20HTML=20comment=20nodes=20for=20injection?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The existing CRITICAL pattern in injection-patterns.mjs only fires when a comment body contains AGENT/AI/HIDDEN markers. Adversaries can drop the marker and still hide instructions inside for any agent that reads page source. This generalizes the comment scan: every comment body is HTML-entity-decoded and run through the full injection rule set. The existing keyword-restricted pattern still fires (defense-in-depth). Emits at the strongest tier with category html-comment-injection. +3 tests (65 → 68).
