 ## [Unreleased]

+## [7.8.0] - 2026-06-20
+
+Three new deterministic deep-scan scanners (TRG/SIG/AST) targeting the
+skills/agents attack surface. Each ships with its own finding
+prefix, OWASP/AST mapping, policy block, fixtures, and graceful-skip
+behaviour. Built behind a security-fix gate: the F-1/F-2/F-3 shell-injection
+and path-traversal fixes landed first. No existing scanner, hook, or command
+behaviour changes. 1863 tests, 0 fail.
+
+### Added
+
+- **TRG — trigger/activation-abuse scanner** (`scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs`).
+  Inspects command/agent/skill `name` + `description` frontmatter for three
+  activation-surface abuses: `TRG-shadow` (name collides with a built-in
+  command/tool and intercepts it), `TRG-baiting` (description uses
+  maximally-activating phrases — "anything", "always", "all files" — to bait
+  indiscriminate invocation), and `TRG-broad` (a generic name plus a
+  universal-applicability claim, so the unit auto-activates beyond its stated
+  purpose). Descriptions pass through the decode pipeline (zero-width strip →
+  homoglyph fold → `normalizeForScan`) first, so obfuscated baiting still
+  trips. Thresholds and the phrase/built-in lists are policy-overridable via
+  `.llm-security/policy.json` (`trg`). OWASP LLM06 (excessive agency); AST04.
+- **SIG — known-bad-identity signature engine**
+  (`scanners/signature-scanner.mjs`). Detects known-malware *identity* —
+  webshells, reverse shells, cryptominers, hacktools — complementary to the
+  shape-based entropy/taint scanners. Unlike a raw byte-matcher (e.g. YARA),
+  every signature is tested against both the raw bytes and the project decode
+  pipeline (base64/hex/url/entity/unicode decode, homoglyph fold, rot13), so
+  obfuscated known-malware is still caught. Rules ship in
+  `knowledge/signatures.json`; families are policy-selectable. OWASP LLM03
+  (supply chain) primary; LLM02.
+- **AST — Python taint analysis** (`scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs`). Shells
+  out to a PARSE-ONLY `python3` helper (`scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py`) for
+  variable-level, scope-aware taint analysis of Python skill code — higher
+  recall/precision than the ~70%-recall regex `taint-tracer.mjs`. The helper
+  only `ast.parse`s the target and never executes it, so analysing hostile
+  code is side-effect-free. Falls back to the regex tracer whenever `python3`
+  is unavailable, so the scan never hard-fails. OWASP LLM01, LLM02; AST02.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `TRG`/`SIG`/`AST` registered as valid finding prefixes
+  (`scanners/lib/output.mjs`); all three wired into the scan orchestrator and
+  policy loader. `knowledge/` added to the `package.json` `files` whitelist.
+

+Release notes for v7.0.0 → v7.8.0: see `docs/version-history.md` — read on demand.
+
+**v7.8.0 highlights** — Three new deterministic deep-scan scanners (TRG/SIG/AST) targeting the skills/agents attack surface, each with its own finding prefix, OWASP/AST mapping, policy block, and graceful-skip behaviour. **TRG** (`scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs`) inspects command/agent/skill `name` + `description` frontmatter for activation-surface abuse — `TRG-shadow` (name collides with a built-in and intercepts it), `TRG-baiting` (maximally-activating phrases that bait indiscriminate invocation), `TRG-broad` (generic name + universal-applicability claim); descriptions pass the decode pipeline first so obfuscated baiting still trips (LLM06/AST04). **SIG** (`scanners/signature-scanner.mjs`) is a pure-Node known-malware *identity* engine (webshells, reverse shells, cryptominers, hacktools) that tests each signature against both raw bytes and the decode pipeline, so obfuscated known-malware a byte-matcher misses is still caught; rules in `knowledge/signatures.json` (LLM03/LLM02). **AST** (`scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs`) shells out to a PARSE-ONLY `python3` helper (`scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py`) for scope-aware Python taint analysis, falling back to the regex `taint-tracer.mjs` when `python3` is absent; the helper only `ast.parse`s the target, never executes it (LLM01/LLM02/AST02). Built behind a security-fix gate (F-1/F-2/F-3 landed first). No existing scanner, hook, or command behaviour changes.

 **v7.7.2 highlights** — Language consistency pass. Norwegian had crept into the playground UI strings, the canonical CLI renderer (`scripts/lib/report-renderers.mjs`), the HTML Report-step appended by all 18 skill commands, two agent prompts, and the marketplace + plugin README/CLAUDE.md state sections. Per the `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` convention (English for code and documentation, Norwegian for dialog only), surface text was translated to English. Demo-state fixture content for the `dft-komplett-demo` project (intentional Norwegian persona) and regex alternations that match Norwegian-language report markdown (`/^high|^høy/`, `/resolution|løsning/`) were preserved. No scanner, hook, or behavior changes.

 | **7.7.2** | 2026-05-19 | **Language consistency pass.** Norwegian had crept into surface text across v7.5-v7.7. Per the `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` convention (English for code and documentation, Norwegian for dialog only), this release translates: the HTML Report-step appended by all 18 skill commands, the canonical CLI renderer `scripts/lib/report-renderers.mjs` (display strings + JS comments), the playground UI strings, the `skill-scanner-agent` and `mcp-scanner-agent` system prompts, the Recent versions table and playground architecture prose in this README, the v7.7.x highlights in `CLAUDE.md`, and the llm-security entries in the marketplace root `README.md` + `CLAUDE.md`, plus six table cells in `docs/scanner-reference.md`. Demo-state fixture content for the `dft-komplett-demo` project (intentional Norwegian persona) and regex alternations that match Norwegian-language report markdown (`/^high\|^høy/`, `/resolution\|løsning/`) were preserved. No scanner, hook, or behavior changes — purely surface text. |
 | **7.7.1** | 2026-05-18 | **Playground UX strip.** Operator feedback immediately after v7.7.0: the home surface led with three project tracks (Re-onboard / New project / Command catalog) even though the catalog was the important entry point. Minimum strip delivered as three atomic commits (`b732eee` + `2a6f73f` + `81b7beb`): (1) the router always forces `activeSurface = 'catalog'` (the onboarding/home/project render functions are preserved in source but no longer routable); (2) the topbar `Home` and `Re-onboard` buttons removed, `Catalog` retained; (3) the breadcrumb org-name (`shared.organization.name` from demo state) replaced with a static `llm-security` neutral scope anchor. Fix: the hardcoded `'Plugin v7.6.1'` on line 6933 of `renderHome` (template literal not caught by the v7.7.0 grep) was synced. The onboarding concept is documented as a v7.8.0 candidate (per-command context injection) in `ROADMAP.md`. No scanner or hook behavior changes. |
 | **7.7.0** | 2026-05-18 | **HTML report for all 18 skill commands.** Every `/security <cmd>` that produces a report now prints a clickable `file://` link to a self-contained HTML version. Delivered across 5 sessions. (1) Playground catalog list-view + builder-pane with a copy button. (2) Playground project-surface cleanup (stub-screen handling, topbar split). (3) The 18 inline parsers + renderers in the playground HTML were moved to a canonical ESM module `scripts/lib/report-renderers.mjs` (the playground keeps a bit-identical inline copy since ESM `import` does not work from `file://`). (4) New zero-dep CLI `scripts/render-report.mjs` — stdin/file/stdout mode, kebab→camel commandId routing, inlines 6 DS stylesheets + a local `.report-table` CSS, ~140 KB self-contained HTML, system-font fallback, absolute `file://` paths for Ghostty cmd-click. (5) All 18 skills wired (4 in session 4: scan/audit/posture/deep-scan; 14 in session 5: plugin-audit/mcp-audit/mcp-inspect/ide-scan/supply-check/dashboard/pre-deploy/diff/watch/registry/clean/harden/threat-model/red-team). Output: `reports/<command>-<YYYYMMDD-HHmmss>.html` relative to CWD. No scanner or hook behavior changes — purely additive. |

+# STATE — llm-security
+
+**Active focus:** NONE active. v7.8.0 RELEASED; security-fix track (F-1/F-2/F-3) +
+TRG/SIG/AST scanners ALL DONE; **internal codename fully scrubbed from Forgejo + force-pushed
+(DONE this session).** Only loose end = **F-4 (optional, LOW)**. Clean, quiescent state.
+
+## Codename scrub (THIS session — operator: "must not appear anywhere on Forgejo") — DONE
+- Full history-rewrite via `git filter-repo` + **force-push** (`d11de9a` → `a19e9eb`).
+  Verified: 0 occurrences in any blob across all refs, 0 in any commit message, 0 filenames.
+- Tip prose reworded by hand (CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md, README, docs/version-history.md, STATE.md);
+  scanners now referred to as TRG/SIG/AST only.
+- Two `docs/plans/` docs (a gap-analysis + its trekplan, both named after the codename)
+  deleted from ALL history via `--invert-paths` (the `.html` render was git-ignored — deleted
+  locally only). Leftover historical blobs + 2 commit messages scrubbed via
+  `--replace-text`/`--replace-message` (`(?i)<codename> ==> TRG/SIG/AST`).
+- Backup of pre-scrub history: `/tmp/llm-security-pre-scrub-backup.bundle` (all refs; old HEAD
+  `d11de9a`) — LOCAL only, never on Forgejo; delete once satisfied.
+- RESIDUAL (server-side): old unreachable objects may linger on Forgejo until git GC. To
+  guarantee physical removal, run repo housekeeping/GC as Forgejo admin (`ktg`).
+
+## What shipped (DONE — do NOT re-derive)
+- **v7.8.0 release — Session C. DONE** (pure version-sync; no production code). Bumped
+  7.7.2 → 7.8.0 across `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `package.json`, `README.md` badge,
+  `CLAUDE.md` header + range sentinel; CHANGELOG `[7.8.0]`, version-history section, README
+  "Recent versions" row, CLAUDE.md highlights added. Release gate: `node --test` 1863/0.
+  Tagged `v7.8.0` (annotated, commit `6d3c4b5`) + pushed; catalog `ref`/README synced
+  7.7.2 → 7.8.0 (catalog commit `843254d`) — version-consistency gate → OK.
+- **TRG/SIG/AST scanners — Steps 1–7. DONE** (`54115a9`..`d19abf0`, SHAs change after rewrite).
+  Three deterministic deep-scan scanners: `scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs` (TRG, LLM06/AST04),
+  `scanners/signature-scanner.mjs` (SIG, rules `knowledge/signatures.json`, LLM03/LLM02),
+  `scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs` (AST, parse-only `scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py` + regex
+  fallback, LLM01/LLM02/AST02). Wired into orchestrator + policy; prefixes in `output.mjs`.
+- **Security-fix track — F-1/F-2/F-3 + F-5/F-6. DONE** (Sessions A+B). All shell-injection /
+  path-traversal sinks closed. Brief: `docs/security-fix-brief-2026-06-20.md`.
+
+## Still open (optional only)
+- **F-4 — optional, LOW** (by-design MCP spawn; confirm-gate is a judgment call). NOT required.
+- Residual gap (inline in F-2 fix): prefix containment in `auto-cleaner.mjs` does not stop a
+  symlink inside the tree pointing out. Known, accepted.
+
+## COLD START (next session)
+1. `pwd` + `git status`. Tip should be `a19e9eb` (or later) on `origin/main`.
+2. No active task queued. Options: F-4 confirm-gate if wanted, or a new direction. Do NOT
+   invent scope — ask. (If the codename ever needs re-checking: `git grep -i <codename>
+   $(git rev-list --all)` must stay empty.)
+
+## Continuity notes
+- origin = Forgejo `open/llm-security` (never GitHub). Push window: weekdays 20:00–23:00;
+  weekends/holidays anytime.

+# Plugin review — llm-security v7.7.2 (2026-06-20)
+
+> Full-depth review (part of the marketplace-wide sweep; pilot was okr). Tooling: config-audit
+> v5.4.0 scanners (from source) + llm-security posture assessor + structure/version checks.
+> Read-only; this file is the only artifact.
+
+## Verdict
+
+**Grade B− — exceptionally disciplined design undermined by one true zero-interaction RCE in a
+default scanner.** At the design level this is one of the most security-conscious plugins in the
+marketplace (untrusted targets treated as data behind an evidence-package boundary, least-privilege
+agents, backup/dry-run-gated mutations, inert stdin-isolated fixtures, no eval/unsafe-deser). But
+the scanner code does not hold itself to the standard it enforces on others: three shell/path sinks
+trust untrusted strings, one of them a **critical** RCE.
+
+> ⚠️ **F-1 is a CRITICAL, zero-interaction RCE, reproduced end-to-end. Treat as fix-before-anything.**
+
+## Results by dimension
+
+| Dimension | Result |
+|-----------|--------|
+| config-audit posture | **A** (Conflicts B 75, Feature Coverage D 57) |
+| config-audit plugin-health | **0 findings** |
+| llm-security posture (self-meta) | **B−** — see findings. Meta-note: the reviewer distinguished deliberate research fixtures/blocklists from real defects and disproved 4 false positives (no prototype-pollution, no billion-laughs, no ReDoS, fixtures inert). |
+| structure / hygiene | README ✓, CHANGELOG ✓, CLAUDE.md ✓, LICENSE ✓ |
+| version consistency | **OK** (gate) |
+
+## Findings
+
+| ID | Severity | Location | Finding |
+|----|----------|----------|---------|
+| F-1 | **CRITICAL** | `scanners/git-forensics.mjs:59-66` (sinks :211,:223,:231,:564) | `git()` runs `execSync(\`git ${cmd}\`)` (shell string) with attacker-controlled filenames from the scanned repo interpolated in. `gitScan` is in the **default** SCANNERS array, and `/security scan <github-url>` clones a user-supplied repo then scans it. A hostile repo with a file named `commands/$(touch INJECTED).md` runs **arbitrary code on the analyst's machine with no install and no confirmation** (forensics runs outside the clone sandbox). Reproduced end-to-end. **Fix:** convert `git()` to `spawnSync('git', [...argArray], {cwd})` — every call site already has discrete tokens. |
+| F-2 | High | `scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs:776,878-881` | `resolve(targetPath, f.file)` with no containment check; `f.file` from findings JSON (untrusted repo filenames, or an attacker-chosen `--findings` file). `file: "../../../.claude/settings.json"` writes outside the scanned tree. **Fix:** assert `absPath === targetPath || absPath.startsWith(targetPath + sep)` before write. |
+| F-3 | High | `hooks/scripts/pre-install-supply-chain.mjs:254` → `supply-chain-data.mjs:221-227` | `execSafe(\`npm view ${spec} --json\`)` is `execSync` (shell). A spec like `foo;touch /tmp/X` survives parsing and reaches the shell, firing on **PreToolUse(Bash) before** the user's npm install — so it executes pre-confirmation even if the user then denies. **Fix:** `spawnSync('npm', ['view', spec, '--json'])` or validate spec `^[@/A-Za-z0-9._-]+$`. |
+| F-4 | Low | `mcp-live-inspect.mjs:296` | Spawns the scanned target's declared MCP command (array-arg, no metachar injection). By-design for `/security mcp-inspect`, but scanning an untrusted target launches attacker-declared processes. Suggest a confirm before spawning servers from a non-home target. |
+| F-5/F-6 | Low (hygiene) | repo root | Two stray committed artifacts: `--json` (0-byte redirect husk) and `.orphaned_at`. Inert; `git rm`. |
+
+**Cleared (so they aren't re-flagged):** malicious fixtures (stdin-isolated to subprocess, never
+shell-executed), zip-extract (zip-slip + bomb guards), git-clone (hooksPath=/dev/null,
+protocol.file.allow=never, array args, sandbox), vsix-fetch (HTTPS host allowlist), dep-auditor
+(fixed strings), all 9 hooks (fail-open, advisory-only). Agents least-privilege.
+
+## Priority
+
+The three shell/path sinks (F-1/F-2/F-3) share one root cause — trusting untrusted strings at a
+subprocess/filesystem sink — and all have small, localized `execSync→spawnSync(array)` / containment
+fixes. Fixing them lifts the plugin from B− to a solid A−. **F-1 should be fixed before the next
+`/security scan` of any untrusted repo URL.**

 Lib: `mcp-description-cache.mjs` — caches MCP tool descriptions in `~/.cache/llm-security/mcp-descriptions.json`, detects per-update drift via Levenshtein (>10% = alert), 7-day TTL. v7.3.0 (E14) adds a sticky baseline slot per tool plus a 10-event rolling history; cumulative drift = `levenshtein(current, baseline) / max(|current|,|baseline|)`. When ratio ≥ `mcp.cumulative_drift_threshold` (default 0.25), emits `mcp-cumulative-drift` advisory through `post-mcp-verify.mjs`. Baseline survives TTL purge so slow-burn drift is preserved across the 7-day window. `clearBaseline(tool?)` exposed for the `/security mcp-baseline-reset` command. `LLM_SECURITY_MCP_CACHE_FILE` env var overrides the cache path for testing.

 Toxic-flow (TFA) is a post-processing correlator that runs LAST — detects "lethal trifecta" (untrusted input + sensitive data access + exfiltration sink) by correlating output from prior scanners.

+Trigger-abuse (TRG) inspects command/agent/skill `name`+`description` frontmatter for activation-surface abuse: built-in shadowing (a name colliding with a built-in tool), activation baiting (maximally-activating description phrases), and overly broad triggers (generic name + universal-applicability claim → HIGH). Descriptions are run through the decode pipeline (zero-width strip, homoglyph fold, `normalizeForScan`) so obfuscated baiting still trips. Policy: `trg` section (`baiting_phrases`, `builtin_names`, `broad_single_words`). OWASP: LLM06, AST04.
+
+Signature (SIG) is a known-bad-identity engine: a small, high-confidence, family-grouped ruleset (`knowledge/signatures.json` — webshell, reverse_shell, cryptominer, hacktool) tested against each file's decode pipeline (`normalizeForScan`/`foldHomoglyphs`/`rot13`), so obfuscated known-malware that a raw byte-matcher misses is still caught. Path-excludes `knowledge/`, `tests/`, `docs/`. Policy: `sig.enabled_families`. OWASP: LLM03, LLM02.
+
+AST-taint (AST) shells out to a PARSE-ONLY python3 helper (`scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py`) for scope-aware, variable-level Python taint analysis (sources → sinks), with graceful fallback to the regex taint-tracer when python3 is absent. The helper only `ast.parse`s the target — it never executes it. 5s timeout per file. Policy: `ast` section (`enabled`, `python_path`, `timeout_ms`). OWASP: LLM01, LLM02, AST02.

 Utility: `node scanners/lib/fs-utils.mjs <backup|restore|cleanup|tmppath> [args]`.

 Lib: `sarif-formatter.mjs` — converts scan output to OASIS SARIF 2.1.0 format. Used by `--format sarif` flag.

+# Security fix brief — 3 shell/path injection sinks (2026-06-20)
+
+> **Action brief for the NEXT session.** Found in the marketplace-wide review (full context:
+> `docs/review-2026-06-20.md`). Do this **after the current active session finishes** — do not
+> interleave with in-flight work.
+>
+> **Disclosure hold:** the review report (`review-2026-06-20.md`, commit `738770e`) and this brief
+> are committed locally but **NOT pushed**, because F-1 is a working RCE with a reproduction
+> payload. **Push both only together with the F-1 fix** — never publish the RCE detail to a public
+> remote while it is still exploitable.
+
+## Priority order
+
+| # | Severity | Fix first? |
+|---|----------|-----------|
+| F-1 | **CRITICAL** (zero-interaction RCE) | **YES — before any `/security scan` of an untrusted repo URL** |
+| F-2 | HIGH (arbitrary file write) | yes |
+| F-3 | HIGH (command injection, pre-confirmation) | yes |
+| F-4 | LOW | optional |
+| F-5/F-6 | LOW (hygiene) | optional |
+
+## Common root cause
+
+F-1/F-2/F-3 all trust untrusted strings at a subprocess/filesystem sink. The fix family is the same:
+**`execSync(shell-string)` → `spawnSync('cmd', [...argArray])`** (no shell), or input containment.
+Every affected call site already has discrete tokens, so the change is mechanical and localized.
+
+## F-1 — CRITICAL — `scanners/git-forensics.mjs`
+
+- **Sink:** `git()` at `:59-66` runs `execSync(\`git ${cmd}\`)` (shell string). Attacker-controlled
+  filenames from the scanned repo (`git ls-files` :202, `git log --name-only` :549) are interpolated
+  at **:211, :223, :231, :564**. `"${relFile}"` quoting at :211 does NOT stop `$(...)`/backticks;
+  :223/:231 are unquoted.
+- **Why critical:** `gitScan` is in the **default** SCANNERS array (`scan-orchestrator.mjs:119`), and
+  `commands/scan.md` clones a user-supplied GitHub URL then scans it. A hostile repo containing a
+  file named `commands/$(touch INJECTED).md` runs arbitrary code on the analyst's machine on
+  `/security scan <url>` — no install, no confirmation. Forensics runs **outside** the git-clone
+  OS-sandbox (that wraps only the clone), so it runs unsandboxed on all platforms. Reproduced
+  end-to-end.
+- **Fix:** convert `git()` to `spawnSync('git', [...argArray], {cwd})` and pass each call site's
+  tokens as an array (they are already discrete). No shell, no interpolation.
+- **Verify:** add a test fixture repo with a file named `$(touch /tmp/pwned).md`; assert the scan
+  completes and `/tmp/pwned` is NOT created. (TDD: write the failing repro first.)
+
+## F-2 — HIGH — `scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs`
+
+- **Sink:** `:776` `resolve(targetPath, f.file)` with no containment check; written at `:878-881`.
+  `f.file` comes from findings JSON (untrusted repo filenames, or a fully attacker-chosen
+  `--findings` file), so `file: "../../../.claude/settings.json"` writes outside the scanned tree.
+- **Fix:** before writing, assert `absPath === targetPath || absPath.startsWith(targetPath + sep)`;
+  otherwise skip + report.
+- **Verify:** a finding with `file: "../escape.txt"` must be refused, not written.
+
+## F-3 — HIGH — `hooks/scripts/pre-install-supply-chain.mjs` → `supply-chain-data.mjs`
+
+- **Sink:** `pre-install-supply-chain.mjs:254` → `inspectNpmPackage` calls
+  `execSafe(\`npm view ${spec} --json\`)`; `execSafe` (`supply-chain-data.mjs:221-227`) is
+  `execSync` (shell). A spec like `foo;touch /tmp/X` survives `extractNpmPackages`+`parseSpec`
+  (name=`foo;touch`) and reaches the shell. It fires on **PreToolUse(Bash) before** the user's npm
+  install — so it executes pre-confirmation even if the user then denies the Bash call.
+- **Fix:** `spawnSync('npm', ['view', spec, '--json'])`, or validate `spec` against
+  `^[@/A-Za-z0-9._-]+$` before use. (pip/go/OSV paths already use fetch/array args — only the npm
+  `npm view` path shells out.)
+- **Verify:** a package spec `foo;touch /tmp/X` must not execute the `touch`.
+
+## F-4 / F-5 / F-6 — LOW
+
+- **F-4** `mcp-live-inspect.mjs:296` spawns the scanned target's declared MCP command (array-arg, no
+  metachar injection). By-design for `/security mcp-inspect`, but scanning an untrusted target
+  launches attacker-declared processes — add a confirm before spawning servers from a non-home target.
+- **F-5/F-6** two stray committed root artifacts: `--json` (0-byte redirect husk) and `.orphaned_at`.
+  Inert; `git rm` them.
+
+## Closing gates (when fixing)
+
+- TDD per fix (repro → red → green). Full `node --test` suite green.
+- gitleaks clean. Re-run the F-1 repro to confirm the sink is closed.
+- **Then** push: the F-1 fix commit + `review-2026-06-20.md` + this brief, together. After that the
+  disclosure hold is lifted.
+- Fixing F-1/F-2/F-3 lifts the plugin from B− to a solid A−.

 Per-release notes for v7.0.0 onward. Imported from `CLAUDE.md` via `@docs/version-history.md`.

+## v7.8.0 — Trigger, signature, and AST-taint scanners
+
+Three new deterministic deep-scan scanners (TRG/SIG/AST), each with its own
+finding prefix, OWASP/AST mapping, policy block, fixtures, and graceful-skip
+behaviour. They target the skills/agents activation and code surface that the
+permission and shape-based scanners do not cover. Built behind a security-fix
+gate — the F-1/F-2/F-3 shell-injection and path-traversal fixes landed first.
+No existing scanner, hook, or command behaviour changes; full suite green
+(1863 tests, 0 fail).
+
+- **TRG — trigger/activation-abuse** (`scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs`).
+  Inspects command/agent/skill `name` + `description` frontmatter for three
+  activation-surface abuses: `TRG-shadow` (name collides with a built-in
+  command/tool and intercepts it), `TRG-baiting` (description uses
+  maximally-activating phrases — "anything", "always", "all files" — to bait
+  indiscriminate invocation), and `TRG-broad` (a generic name plus a
+  universal-applicability claim, so the unit auto-activates beyond its stated
+  purpose). Skills/agents auto-activate on their description, so this is a
+  skill-native surface not covered by the permission or taint scanners.
+  Descriptions pass through the decode pipeline (zero-width strip → homoglyph
+  fold → `normalizeForScan`) first, so obfuscated baiting still trips.
+  Thresholds and the phrase/built-in lists are overridable via
+  `.llm-security/policy.json` (`trg`). OWASP LLM06 (excessive agency); AST04.
+
+- **SIG — known-bad-identity signatures** (`scanners/signature-scanner.mjs`).
+  A pure-Node signature engine for known-malware *identity* — webshells,
+  reverse shells, cryptominers, hacktools — complementary to the shape-based
+  entropy/taint scanners. Unlike a raw byte-matcher (e.g. YARA), every
+  signature is tested against both the raw bytes and the project decode
+  pipeline (base64/hex/url/entity/unicode decode, homoglyph fold, rot13), so
+  obfuscated known-malware a byte-matcher misses is still caught. Rules ship
+  in `knowledge/signatures.json`; families are policy-selectable. OWASP LLM03
+  (supply chain) primary; LLM02.
+
+- **AST — Python taint analysis** (`scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs`). Shells
+  out to a PARSE-ONLY `python3` helper (`scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py`) for
+  variable-level, scope-aware taint analysis of Python skill code — higher
+  recall/precision than the ~70%-recall regex `taint-tracer.mjs`. The helper
+  only `ast.parse`s the target and never executes it, so analysing hostile
+  code is side-effect-free. Falls back to the regex tracer whenever `python3`
+  is unavailable, so the scan never hard-fails. OWASP LLM01, LLM02; AST02.
+
+Packaging/wiring: `TRG`/`SIG`/`AST` registered as valid finding prefixes
+(`scanners/lib/output.mjs`); all three wired into the scan orchestrator and
+policy loader; `knowledge/` added to the `package.json` `files` whitelist.

+"""py-ast-taint.py — PARSE-ONLY Python taint helper for the AST scanner.
+
+Reads a single target .py path (argv[1]), parses it with ast.parse, and walks
+the tree for variable-level taint (data flow from an input source to a
+dangerous sink) within each function/module scope. It prints one JSON object
+to stdout:
+
+    {"status": "ok", "findings": [
+        {"rule": "...", "severity": "...", "line": int,
+         "source": "...", "sink": "...", "message": "..."}]}
+
+On a parse error it prints {"status": "error", "message": "..."} and exits 2.
+
+SAFETY INVARIANT: this helper only PARSES the target (ast.parse). It never
+exec/eval/compile/imports the target, so analysing hostile code has no side
+effects. The only filesystem access is reading the target as text.

Kjell Tore Guttormsen	6d3c4b5052	chore(llm-security): v7.8.0 — TRG/SIG/AST scanners Session C of the security-fix track: cut the TRG/SIG/AST release now that the F-1/F-2/F-3 security gates pass. Pure version-sync — the three scanners shipped in Steps 1-7 (616e7ff..fc7cf57); no production code changes here. Version-sync 7.7.2 -> 7.8.0 across every current pointer: .claude-plugin/ plugin.json, package.json, README.md badge, and the CLAUDE.md header + "release notes" range sentinel. Narrative additions (prior releases kept as history): - CHANGELOG.md: new [7.8.0] entry (Added: TRG/SIG/AST; Changed: prefix registration + knowledge/ packaging). - docs/version-history.md: new v7.8.0 section describing the three scanners. - README.md "Recent versions": new 7.8.0 row. - CLAUDE.md: new v7.8.0 highlights paragraph above the v7.7.2 one. TRG/SIG/AST recap (built Steps 1-7, behind the security-fix gate): - TRG (scanners/trigger-scanner.mjs) — trigger/activation-abuse: TRG-shadow / TRG-baiting / TRG-broad over name+description frontmatter, decode pipeline first (LLM06/AST04). - SIG (scanners/signature-scanner.mjs) — pure-Node known-malware identity engine over raw bytes + decode pipeline; rules in knowledge/signatures.json (LLM03/LLM02). - AST (scanners/ast-taint-scanner.mjs) — parse-only python3 taint helper (scanners/lib/py-ast-taint.py) with graceful regex fallback (LLM01/LLM02/AST02). Release gate: full node --test suite 1863/0 after the doc edits. No scanner, hook, or command behaviour changes.

Kjell Tore Guttormsen	dfb663fa61	fix(llm-security): F-2/F-3 — contain path traversal + kill npm-view shell injection Session B of the security-fix track. Both sinks trusted untrusted strings at a filesystem/subprocess boundary; same fix family as F-1. F-2 (HIGH, arbitrary file write) — scanners/auto-cleaner.mjs: applyFixes() did resolve(targetPath, f.file) with no containment, then wrote the cleaned content back. f.file is untrusted (scanned-repo filenames, or a fully attacker-chosen --findings file), so file: "../../.claude/settings.json" let the cleaner modify files OUTSIDE the scanned tree. Add a prefix-containment check before grouping: absPath must equal targetPath or start with targetPath + sep, else the finding is refused and reported as skipped. (Documented residual gap: prefix containment does not stop a symlink inside the tree pointing out — noted inline.) F-3 (HIGH, command injection, pre-confirmation) — hooks/scripts/ pre-install-supply-chain.mjs: inspectNpmPackage ran execSafe(`npm view ${spec} --json`), a shell string. spec derives from package tokens parsed out of the scanned Bash command, so a metachar-bearing token reached the shell on PreToolUse(Bash) — BEFORE the install, so it ran even if the user then denied the command. Switch to spawnSync('npm', ['view', spec, '--json']) (no shell); spec is passed as one argv element. The static `npm audit --json` execSafe call is left as-is (no interpolation). TDD (repro -> red -> green): - tests/scanners/auto-cleaner-traversal.test.mjs: a "../secret.txt" finding must not rewrite the outside file; contained files still get cleaned. - tests/hooks/supply-chain-injection.test.mjs: `npm install $(>/abs/PWNED)` (redirect-only $(...) survives normalizeBashExpansion + the whitespace split) must not create the sentinel. Closing gates: full node --test suite 1863/0 (was 1860; +3); gitleaks clean; F-1 regression re-run GREEN (sink still closed).

Kjell Tore Guttormsen	e46b5a3256	fix(llm-security): F-1 — eliminate shell-injection RCE in git-forensics scanner git-forensics ran execSync(`git ${cmd}`), interpolating attacker-controlled filenames from the SCANNED repo (git ls-files / git log --name-only) into a shell string. A hostile repo containing a file named `commands/$(touch X).md` achieved zero-interaction RCE on `/security scan <url>`: gitScan is in the default scanner array and runs OUTSIDE the git-clone OS sandbox (which wraps only the clone), so it executed unsandboxed on all platforms. Convert the git() helper to spawnSync('git', [...args]) with no shell; every call site now passes discrete tokens (shell quoting removed — git does its own pathspec globbing). The helper throws on non-zero exit, preserving existing per-category/per-file try/catch semantics. TDD: adds a failing-first regression (tests/scanners/git-injection.test.mjs) that builds a hostile-filename fixture repo and asserts the injected command never runs. RED against execSync, GREEN after the fix. Also removes two stray committed root artifacts (F-5/F-6): `--json` (0-byte redirect husk) and .orphaned_at. Closing gates: full node --test suite 1860/0; gitleaks clean. F-2/F-3 follow in Session B.
