What wkt does and does not defend

wkt generates a perimeter file for each task tree: a settings document that denies writes to the workspace, to other tasks' trees, and to its own bookkeeping. This is defence in depth against accidents, not a security boundary, and the README says so too:

  • A session started below a covered directory has no perimeter at all.
  • The Bash half is advisory. An agent that is determined to write somewhere can disable its own sandbox; this was observed on one release, and did not reproduce on the next.
  • A task tree can push to the repository's real origin.

If your threat model includes an adversarial agent, wkt is not the tool for it.

Reporting a vulnerability

Open a private security advisory through GitHub (Security → Report a vulnerability) rather than a public issue.

Two classes of report are especially welcome, because they are the ones that cost users work rather than embarrassment:

  1. A path where wkt deletes something it did not create — a walker that follows a link out of the tree, a computed path that escapes the container.
  2. A path where a refusal can be bypassed — teardown removing a tree that holds unpushed commits, uncommitted work, or a repository whose history exists nowhere else.

There aren't any published security advisories
