Kjell Tore Guttormsen 43f682bedd feat(signatures): add active-content.json from verified guard source
The EchoLeak class (CVE-2025-32711): markdown image/link/refdef/autolink,
data: URIs and active HTML, plus the URL-shape analysis that separates a URL
naming a remote document from one carrying bytes outward.

Seeded from llm-ingestion-pipeline-security v0.3.4 @ 0bf0729 (read-only) —
active_content.py's pattern table and calibration.py's severities/floors.
That module documents itself as the canonical home of this table, which is
why the guard is the source here rather than llm-security.

One deliberate deviation from byte-identity, recorded in the file: five
patterns carried `\"` from Python raw strings, which is a SyntaxError under
ECMAScript's u/v flags. Normalised to `"` and proven equivalent by
differential match-set comparison (5 patterns x 30 adversarial inputs, 0
differences). Verification log in docs/extraction-plan.md.

Raw Blame History

Extraction plan — v0.1.0

Status: informative. This is the plan of record for how this repository came to exist, copied verbatim (structure preserved, lightly reformatted) from the operator brief that opened it. It is not normative: nothing here constrains a consumer. When it disagrees with spec/ or schema/, those win.

Origin: Phase 4 of the llm-security v8 plan, which lives in the sibling repository llm-security. That repository is context only — no session in this repository reads from or writes to it.

Charter

No engine code. Only: JSON data, normative specs, and a conformance corpus that several runtimes (Node in llm-security, Python in a guard repo, a wiki) can run against and get an identical verdict from. The pattern is copied from the sibling repository portfolio-optimiser-commons (hard charter: "nothing here may import/depend on a framework").

Layout

llm-security-commons/
  README.md                       # charter: data+contract+fixtures only, no engine code
  lexicon/injection-lexicon.json
  codepoints/carriers.json        # zero-width, BIDI, Unicode-Tag ranges, homoglyph map
  signatures/secret-egress.json
  signatures/malware-signatures.json
  signatures/active-content.json  # EchoLeak: MD image/link/refdef/autolink, data:, active HTML
  calibration/calibration.json    # entropy floors, scan caps, disposition ranks
  mapping/owasp-map.json          # prefix -> LLM/ASI/AST/MCP
  schema/finding.schema.json      # + SARIF & JSONL profiles. Status: normative
  spec/decode-pipeline.md         # normative RFC-2119 decode order
  conformance/                    # {case}/input.txt + {case}/expected.json
  STATE.md                        # LOCAL-ONLY / gitignored (mirror commons convention)

Every JSON file carries a top-level "version" field. Every spec carries a Status: normative marker.

v0.1.0 seed sources

llm-security is the canonical and richest source. This repository's sessions have no read access to it — content arrives only as an operator-supplied dump. Security-critical tables (homoglyph map, secret patterns, malware signatures) MUST come from real source data, never from recollection or inference.

Target Seed source in llm-security (unless noted)
lexicon/injection-lexicon.json scanners/lib/injection-patterns.mjs
codepoints/carriers.json scanners/unicode-scanner.mjs + scanners/lib/string-utils.mjs (incl. HOMOGLYPH_MAP)
signatures/secret-egress.json knowledge/secrets-patterns.md — the 18-entry hook table, NOT the PCRE-flavored agent-consumed variant
signatures/malware-signatures.json knowledge/signatures.json (the SIG scanner)
signatures/active-content.json currently only in a guard repo's active_content.py. If unavailable: stub with a version field and a TODO naming the source
calibration/calibration.json scanners/lib/severity.mjs — thresholds + scanner caps
mapping/owasp-map.json scanners/lib/severity.mjsOWASP_MAP (+ 3 sibling maps in the same file)
schema/finding.schema.json modelled on scanners/lib/sarif-formatter.mjs's SARIF shape
conformance/ union of the guard repo's coverage.py matrix (126 classes + 4 gaps-must-hold) and llm-security/examples/

Constraints

  • Offline / deterministic only — no network, no model calls inside the data itself.
  • Forgejo open/ — never GitHub.
  • MIT license, fork-and-own.
  • STATE.md is LOCAL-ONLY (gitignored) — same convention as the rest of the polyrepo.
  • Behaviour preservation is the point: this must not change a single finding in llm-security when it is later consumed from here. That consumption happens in llm-security's own Phase 5 steps 34 — not here.

Verification log

Every claim of fidelity below was produced by a command, not by reading. The check scripts themselves deliberately do not live in this repository — executable code here would breach the charter. They are reproducible from the description given.

signatures/active-content.json — extracted 2026-08-09

Source: llm-ingestion-pipeline-security v0.3.4, commit 0bf0729 (2026-08-03), src/llm_ingestion_guard/active_content.py + calibration.py. Read-only; nothing in that repository was modified.

Check Method Result
JSON well-formed python3 -m json.tool pass
Patterns compile as Python re translate (?<(?P<, compile all 17 with declared flags 17/17, 0 failures
Patterns compile as ECMAScript new RegExp(pattern, flags) on all 17 17/17, 0 failures
Pattern text matches source compare against the live re.Pattern.pattern of each source object, inline flags stripped 12/17 byte-identical; 5 differ only by the documented redundant-quote-escape normalisation
The 5 normalised patterns behave identically differential match-set comparison (offsets + captured text) against the source objects over a 30-input adversarial corpus: bare quotes, escaped quotes, markdown titles containing quotes, quoted/unquoted HTML attributes, quote runs of length 15 150 comparisons, 0 differences
The normalisation is necessary new RegExp('\\"', 'u') and 'v' in Node both throw Invalid escape; the bare form compiles under "", "u" and "v"
Severities, ordinary severity, opacity floors, active-tag set, pass order compare against calibration.ACTIVE_CONTENT_SEVERITY, ACTIVE_CONTENT_ORDINARY_SEVERITY, URL_OPAQUE_*, active_content._ACTIVE_TAGS, and the scan-call order in scan_active_content all identical (23/23 tags, 6/6 severities, 4/4 floors)

Not verified, and not claimed: that the Node consumer's active-content behaviour matches this table. The source module states the Node port shares its severities; that is the module's claim, and confirming it needs the Node file.

Definition of done for v0.1.0

  1. Repository initialized, Forgejo remote open/llm-security-commons, MIT, STATE.md gitignored.
  2. Every file in the layout above present and populated from verified seed data — or explicitly and visibly stubbed where the source was unavailable.
  3. All JSON well-formed, every data file carrying "version", every spec carrying Status: normative.
  4. Tagged v0.1.0 and pushed.
  5. A coord message sent to llm-security announcing that the repository and v0.1.0 exist, so Phase 5 step 3 (vendoring) can start from there.
