Summary

  • add a repository-specific threat model for AdvancedCore as a shared downstream security boundary
  • cover SQL values vs identifiers, user/cache concurrency, reward selection/command execution, filesystem/YAML containment, permissions/GUI execution, identity, placeholders/JavaScript, messaging, lifecycle, and resource exhaustion
  • update old scan assumptions to current controls such as prepared SQLite value writes and safe reward filename validation
  • distinguish trusted operator/script/raw-SQL behavior and compatibility defects from lower-trust security crossings
  • point AGENTS.md security work at the threat model

Notes

Documentation only; no runtime behavior changes.

This keeps the useful parts of the existing Codex model while making current mitigations explicit and directing future scans toward bypasses, sibling paths, and cross-feature races.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added security documentation describing the application’s security objectives, trust boundaries, potential attack scenarios, and severity guidance.
    • The guidance outlines how to assess security concerns against current protections and their potential impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added a repository security threat model and updated AGENTS.md to direct security reviews to it. The document describes trust boundaries, current controls, review criteria, attack scenarios, and severity levels.

Changes

Security review guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Threat model and review instructions
docs/security-threat-model.md, AGENTS.md
The new threat model defines security objectives, trust boundaries, current controls, review criteria, attack scenarios, and severity levels. AGENTS.md directs reviewers to consult it, verify conclusions against current code and tests, and assess findings against the documented boundary.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8a4be

Security reviewers could rely on controls that do not cover every described path. Narrow the claims before merging; no runtime behavior changes are evidenced.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8a4be

The guidance may influence future security decisions, but this change does not modify executable security controls. No introduced vulnerability was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The direct effect is on security-review classification across a shared library and its downstream uses, not on runtime privileges or access paths.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The document treats player-derived, remote, and downstream-supplied values as potentially lower trust while distinguishing administrator-authored commands, SQL, and scripts from unauthorized access to those sinks. These are review criteria, not newly enforced controls.

## Security threat model

For security reviews, vulnerability triage, and security-sensitive changes, read docs/security-threat-model.md before classifying or fixing findings. Treat it as the repository-specific attacker/trust-boundary model; verify every conclusion against current code and tests. Do not promote compatibility, trusted-operator behavior, or generic correctness bugs into security findings unless the documented boundary is actually crossed.
