Hi @beenuar, The Compose Smoke / docker compose up — full stack failure is a pre-existing issue on main. Migration 041_attack_chains.sql uses window as a column name, which is a reserved keyword in PostgreSQL 14+, causing the Postgres container to crash. This is unrelated to the changes in this PR. |

Summary
This PR addresses a critical prompt injection vulnerability where attacker-controlled telemetry could hijack the classification agents (
auto_triage,phishing,cloud,identity,insider_threat) and trick them into auto-closing legitimate high-severity alerts.While the investigator agents were already correctly using the
prompt_sanitizermodule, the 5 classification agents bypassed it, pasting raw alert fields directly into the LLM prompt.Changes
sanitize_text()function into the context-building functions for all 5 classification agents.<UNTRUSTED_DATA>tags viawrap_untrusted()so the LLM treats it as inert data rather than instructions.Verification
sanitize_text(redacted to[REDACTED:INJECTION]) and the LLM correctly evaluates the underlying alert as atrue_positive.needs_human_reviewfallback works safely if the LLM errors.Eval Harness Results
Note: Because this only adds a sanitization layer around existing LLM contexts, substrate self-consistency and agent accuracy metrics remain unchanged against the synthetic eval corpus.
Fixes #220
