fix(security): neutralize prompt-injection tags in remote tool results (#4002)
* fix(security): neutralize prompt-injection tags in remote tool results
User input is already neutralized for framework/injection tags, but tool
results are not. Remote content fetched by web_fetch/web_search is equally
untrusted and can carry a forged <system-reminder> block that reaches the
model verbatim as authoritative context.
Extract a shared neutralize_untrusted_tags() primitive from
InputSanitizationMiddleware and apply it to remote-content tool results
(web_fetch/web_search/image_search) via a new ToolResultSanitizationMiddleware.
Local tool output (bash/read_file) is left untouched so legitimate code/file
content is never mangled.
* test: update subagent middleware count for tool-result sanitizer
The new ToolResultSanitizationMiddleware adds one entry to the shared runtime
chain (11 -> 12). Update the subagent count assertion, use a lazy import for
neutralize_untrusted_tags so the module loads even when tests stub the
input-sanitization module, and document the new middleware in AGENTS.md.
* fix(security): address review — sanitize bare str list items; document MCP scope
- Neutralize bare str elements inside a ToolMessage content list (previously
only {type:text} dict blocks were rewritten), matching the str-in-list shape
ToolOutputBudgetMiddleware._message_text already anticipates.
- Document the name-based allowlist limitation: MCP remote-content tools
registered under arbitrary names (e.g. fetch_url) are not covered; a name
heuristic is avoided to prevent mangling local tool output, with metadata
tagging tracked as a follow-up. Add a regression test pinning this boundary.

|
|||
|
||||
1. **InputSanitizationMiddleware** - First, so it is the outermost `wrap_model_call` wrapper; every inner middleware (including LLM retries) sees sanitized messages
|
||||
2. **ToolOutputBudgetMiddleware** - Caps tool output size (per app config) before it re-enters the model context
|
||||
3. **ThreadDataMiddleware** - Creates per-thread directories under the user's isolation scope (`backend/.deer-flow/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/{workspace,uploads,outputs}`); resolves `user_id` via `get_effective_user_id()` (falls back to `"default"` in no-auth mode)
|
||||
4. **UploadsMiddleware** - Tracks and injects newly uploaded files into conversation (lead agent only)
|
||||
5. **SandboxMiddleware** - Acquires sandbox, stores `sandbox_id` in state
|
||||
6. **DanglingToolCallMiddleware** - Injects placeholder ToolMessages for AIMessage tool_calls that lack responses (e.g., user interruption), preserving raw provider tool-call payloads in `additional_kwargs["tool_calls"]`
|
||||
7. **LLMErrorHandlingMiddleware** - Normalizes provider/model invocation failures into recoverable assistant-facing errors before later stages run
|
||||
8. **GuardrailMiddleware** - *(optional, if `guardrails.enabled`)* Pre-tool-call authorization via pluggable `GuardrailProvider`; returns an error ToolMessage on deny. Providers: built-in `AllowlistProvider` (zero deps), OAP policy providers (e.g. `aport-agent-guardrails`), or custom. See [docs/GUARDRAILS.md](docs/GUARDRAILS.md)
|
||||
9. **SandboxAuditMiddleware** - Audits sandboxed shell/file operations for security logging before tool execution
|
||||
10. **ReadBeforeWriteMiddleware** - *(optional, if `read_before_write.enabled`, default on)* Outermost write gate (issue #3857): `read_file` stamps a content hash onto its ToolMessage; `write_file` (append/overwrite-existing) and `str_replace` are blocked unless the newest mark for that path matches the file's current hash. Sits outside ToolProgressMiddleware and ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware so a blocked write returns immediately without consuming a ToolProgress slot. Blocked results call `normalize_tool_result` directly to stamp `deerflow_tool_meta` (`recoverable_by_model=True`) before returning, keeping the result well-formed for any outer consumer. Marks live on messages, so summarization dropping the read result invalidates the gate automatically; writes never refresh marks, forcing a re-read between consecutive edits. Gate check + tool execution are serialized per (thread, path) so same-turn parallel writes cannot reuse one stale mark; on sandboxes whose `read_file` reports failures as `"Error: ..."` strings instead of raising (AIO/E2B), uninspectable targets fail open (creation proceeds, no mark stamped)
|
||||
11. **ToolProgressMiddleware** - *(optional, if `tool_progress.enabled`)* State-machine-based stagnation guard (RFC #3177). Outer wrapper around ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware so its `wrap_tool_call` receives results already stamped with `deerflow_tool_meta`. Tracks per-(thread, tool) consecutive "no-new-info" calls across three error categories: (a) `recoverable_by_model=True` (no_results, not_found, permission, Jaccard-duplicate success): ACTIVE → WARNED (terminal — hint re-injected on each subsequent problem); (b) `recoverable_by_model=False, action≠stop` (rate_limited, transient): ACTIVE → WARNED → BLOCKED after `warn_escalation_count` more problems; (c) `recoverable_by_model=False, action=stop` (auth, config, internal): immediately BLOCKED on first occurrence. **Division of labor with LoopDetectionMiddleware (item 25):** ToolProgressMiddleware is a result-quality guard — fires after tool execution and blocks specific tools that stop producing new information; LoopDetectionMiddleware is a call-pattern guard — fires after the model responds and hard-stops the whole turn when the model repeatedly issues identical tool_calls. Both can inject HumanMessage hints in the same model call without conflict; neither reads the other's internal state.
|
||||
12. **ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware** - Receives `AppConfig`, converts tool exceptions into error `ToolMessage`s so the run can continue instead of aborting, stamps every result with `deerflow_tool_meta` (status / error_type / recoverable_by_model / recommended_next_action / source) via `tool_result_meta.normalize_tool_result`, stamps structured metadata for task exception wrappers, and stamps skill-read metadata for downstream durable-context capture. Task tool result text is generated from the same status/result/error inputs as the structured metadata so callers do not hand-write a second protocol string.
|
||||
3. **ToolResultSanitizationMiddleware** - Neutralizes framework/injection tags (e.g. `<system-reminder>`) and boundary markers in *remote-content* tool results (`web_fetch`/`web_search`/`image_search`) so attacker-controlled fetched pages cannot forge trusted framework context. Mirrors `InputSanitizationMiddleware`'s user-input guardrail for the other untrusted-content entry point; sits inner of `ToolOutputBudgetMiddleware` (neutralizes the raw output, then the budget truncates). Local tool output (bash/read_file) is left untouched. Scope is a name-based allowlist, so MCP remote-content tools registered under other names (e.g. `fetch_url`) are not yet covered — a metadata-tagging follow-up is tracked in the middleware source
|
||||
4. **ThreadDataMiddleware** - Creates per-thread directories under the user's isolation scope (`backend/.deer-flow/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/{workspace,uploads,outputs}`); resolves `user_id` via `get_effective_user_id()` (falls back to `"default"` in no-auth mode)

|

|

**Lead-only middlewares** (`build_middlewares`, appended after the base):
|
||||
|
||||
13. **DynamicContextMiddleware** - Injects the current date (and optionally memory) as a `<system-reminder>` into the first HumanMessage, keeping the base system prompt fully static for prefix-cache reuse
|
||||
14. **SkillActivationMiddleware** - Detects strict `/skill-name task` syntax on the latest real user message, resolves only enabled and runtime-allowed skills, injects the `SKILL.md` body as hidden current-turn context, and records a `middleware:skill_activation` audit event
|
||||
15. **DurableContextMiddleware** - Captures `task` delegations into `ThreadState.delegations` (including in-progress dispatches and terminal result summaries) and loaded skill-file references (name/path/description, parsed in-memory - not the body) into `ThreadState.skill_context` before summarization can compact the paired tool-call/result messages, then projects durable context into each model request. Static authority rules are injected as a `SystemMessage`; untrusted field values (`summary_text`, delegation results, skill descriptions) are injected separately as a hidden `HumanMessage` data block so compressed history, delegated work, and which skills are active stay visible without being stored as `messages` or promoted to system-role instructions.
|
||||
16. **SummarizationMiddleware** - *(optional, if enabled)* Context reduction when approaching token limits
|
||||
17. **TodoListMiddleware** - *(optional, if `is_plan_mode`)* Task tracking with the `write_todos` tool
|
||||
18. **TokenUsageMiddleware** - *(optional, if `token_usage.enabled`)* Records token usage metrics; subagent usage is merged back into the dispatching AIMessage by message position
|
||||
19. **TitleMiddleware** - Auto-generates the thread title after the first complete exchange and normalizes structured message content before prompting the title model. If a first-turn run is interrupted before this middleware can write a title, `runtime/runs/worker.py` keeps the run in a finalizing state, persists a local fallback title from the latest checkpoint or original run input, and then syncs it to `threads_meta.display_name`. Replacement runs admitted by `multitask_strategy="interrupt"` / `"rollback"` wait for older same-thread finalization before entering the graph; the interrupted run only skips the fallback title write once a later run has started and may have advanced the checkpoint.
|
||||
20. **MemoryMiddleware** - Queues conversations for async memory update (filters to user + final AI responses)
|
||||
21. **ViewImageMiddleware** - *(optional, if the model supports vision)* Injects base64 image data before the LLM call
|
||||
22. **DeferredToolFilterMiddleware** - *(optional, if `tool_search.enabled`)* Hides deferred (MCP) tool schemas from the bound model until `tool_search` promotes them (reads per-thread promotions from `ThreadState.promoted`, hash-scoped)
|
||||
23. **SystemMessageCoalescingMiddleware** - Merges every SystemMessage into a single leading SystemMessage per request; provider-agnostic fix for strict backends (vLLM/SGLang/Qwen/Anthropic) that reject non-leading system messages. Touches the per-request payload only (checkpoint state unchanged); on midnight crossings only the latest `dynamic_context_reminder` SystemMessage survives
|
||||
24. **SubagentLimitMiddleware** - *(optional, if `subagent_enabled`)* Truncates excess `task` tool calls to enforce the `MAX_CONCURRENT_SUBAGENTS` limit
|
||||
25. **LoopDetectionMiddleware** - *(optional, if `loop_detection.enabled`)* Detects repeated tool-call loops; hard-stop clears both structured `tool_calls` and raw provider tool-call metadata before forcing a final text answer; stamps `loop_capped` via `consume_stop_reason` (#3875 Phase 2), symmetric to `TokenBudgetMiddleware`
|
||||
26. **TokenBudgetMiddleware** - *(optional, if `token_budget.enabled`)* Enforces per-run token limits
|
||||
27. **Custom middlewares** - *(optional)* Any `custom_middlewares` passed to `build_middlewares` are injected here, before the safety/clarification tail
|
||||
28. **SafetyFinishReasonMiddleware** - *(optional, if `safety_finish_reason.enabled`)* Suppresses tool execution when the provider safety-terminated the response (e.g. `finish_reason=content_filter`); registered after custom middlewares so LangChain's reverse-order `after_model` dispatch runs it first
|
||||
29. **ClarificationMiddleware** - Intercepts `ask_clarification` tool calls, writes a readable `ToolMessage.content` fallback plus structured `ToolMessage.artifact.human_input` request payload, and interrupts via `Command(goto=END)` (must be last). Because this middleware can short-circuit tool execution before LangChain emits `on_tool_end`, `RunJournal` performs a root-run final reconciliation for allowlisted clarification `ToolMessage`s whose `tool_call_id` was produced by the current run, so human-input request cards remain recoverable from `run_events` after checkpoint compaction. Human Input Card replies are submitted as `hide_from_ui` `HumanMessage`s with `additional_kwargs.human_input_response`; `RunJournal` persists only allowlisted hidden response sources (currently `ask_clarification`) as `llm.human.input`, which preserves answered-card state after compaction without exposing generic internal hidden context.

14. **DynamicContextMiddleware** - Injects the current date (and optionally memory) as a `<system-reminder>` into the first HumanMessage, keeping the base system prompt fully static for prefix-cache reuse
|
||||
15. **SkillActivationMiddleware** - Detects strict `/skill-name task` syntax on the latest real user message, resolves only enabled and runtime-allowed skills, injects the `SKILL.md` body as hidden current-turn context, and records a `middleware:skill_activation` audit event
|
||||
16. **DurableContextMiddleware** - Captures `task` delegations into `ThreadState.delegations` (including in-progress dispatches and terminal result summaries) and loaded skill-file references (name/path/description, parsed in-memory - not the body) into `ThreadState.skill_context` before summarization can compact the paired tool-call/result messages, then projects durable context into each model request.
