When an agent turn uses native (OpenAI-style) function calling and the model
returns only tool calls with no prose, _append_tool_results built the follow-up
assistant message with content "" (empty string).
Google Gemini's OpenAI-compatible endpoint and Ollama both reject an assistant
message that carries tool_calls alongside an empty-string content with HTTP 400.
Because that message feeds the tool results back to the model, every tool-using
turn on these providers dies at the second round: the tool runs, but the agent
never produces a result.
Use None (JSON null) instead, which is the spec-correct form the OpenAI SDK
itself emits and which OpenAI and Anthropic accept too. Adds tests covering the
native tool-call content shaping.
Every research endpoint interpolates session_id into filesystem paths
(Path('data/deep_research') / f'{session_id}.json') without checking
for traversal sequences. A crafted ID like '../../data/auth' reaches
arbitrary JSON files — readable via research_detail (which also leaks
file paths in error messages), writable via research_archive, and
deletable via research_delete.
Add _validate_session_id() which rejects anything outside
[a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,128}. Called before filesystem access in all 12
endpoints that accept a session_id path parameter.
SkillsManager.update_skill walks every SKILL.md on disk and matches by
slug only; the 'owner' key in its scalar_keys whitelist meant a caller
could pass updates={'owner': 'attacker', 'description': 'pwned'} and the
first matching file on disk got silently re-owned. Two users with the
same slug under different category directories (which is supported by
the on-disk layout <category>/<name>/SKILL.md) could each stomp the
other's skill via the manage_skills tool or the in-process callers in
tool_implementations.py (edit, patch, publish, delete).
update_skill and delete_skill now require the caller's owner and only
match a file whose parsed owner field matches. The default of None
means 'no scope' and only matches ownerless skills, so an unsafe call
without an explicit owner is now a no-op. 'owner' is also removed from
scalar_keys so the updates dict cannot be used to reassign ownership
even when the manager is called from an in-process path that didn't
supply the owner argument.
The in-process callers in tool_implementations.py are updated to pass
owner=owner (which was already in scope at every call site) so the
HTTP and agent paths both go through the scoped check. The HTTP route
at routes/skills_routes.py:1499 was already owner-scoped via
sm.load(owner=user); the fix brings the in-process path up to the
same standard.
After a successful password change, revoke all browser sessions for the
same user except the one that submitted the request. This prevents stale
sessions on other devices from remaining valid after credentials are
updated.
Keep API-token behavior unchanged. The current browser session is
preserved so the user can continue from the tab that changed the
password.
Add focused regression tests for preserving the current session, revoking
other sessions, persisting revocation, and avoiding revocation when the
current password is incorrect.
`core.middleware.require_admin` grants admin to any request whose
`request.state.current_user == "internal-tool"` — the sentinel meant only
for the in-process tool-loopback path. But the normal cookie auth path
(app.py) sets `current_user` to the raw username, and neither `create_user`
nor the signup route reserved that name. As a result an account literally
named "internal-tool" was silently treated as admin by every
`require_admin`-gated route. With self-service signup enabled this is an
anonymous -> admin privilege escalation.
Reserve the full synthetic-owner set the codebase already special-cases —
"internal-tool", "api", "demo", "system" (see `_SYNTHETIC_OWNERS` in
routes/assistant_routes.py and the matching guards in src/task_scheduler.py
and routes/research_routes.py). "api" collides with the bearer-token owner
sentinel; "demo"/"system" would leave a real account denied an assistant
and inconsistently owner-scoped.
Refuse to create or rename into any reserved name (case/space-normalized),
and reject empty usernames while we're here. Adds a regression test.

Require admin access before serving provider discovery data from
GET /api/providers. This prevents normal authenticated users from
triggering provider discovery or receiving cached provider host data.
Keep GET /api/models available to normal users and leave the existing
admin-only GET /api/discover behavior unchanged.
Add a focused regression test to ensure unauthorized callers cannot
trigger discovery and cannot receive cached provider data.
The synchronous llm_call() runs in FastAPI's threadpool (sync route
handlers such as POST /sessions/auto-sort), while llm_call_async() runs
on the event loop. Both mutate the module-level _response_cache,
_host_fails and _dead_hosts dicts, so these are touched from multiple OS
threads concurrently. Two races result:
- _set_cached_response() snapshots 64 keys then deletes them with
`del _response_cache[key]`; if another thread evicts the same key
first, the del raises KeyError mid-eviction. Switched to
pop(key, None).
- _mark_host_dead() does get()+1+set() on _host_fails with no lock, so
concurrent connect failures lose increments and a genuinely dead host
can stay under its cooldown threshold. Guarded the host-health maps
with a threading.Lock (also applied to _is_host_dead / _clear_host_dead
for consistent reads).
Adds tests/test_llm_core_concurrency.py with deterministic regression
tests (phantom snapshot key for the eviction race; a slow-read dict that
forces the lost-update window for the counter). Both fail on the
unpatched code and pass with the fix.
The global Escape arbiter in ui.js only sees `.modal` elements, so the many
ad-hoc dropdowns and context popups that are built on the fly and appended to
<body> ignored Escape entirely: document-library card/chat menus, chat
context/stats/overflow popups, cookbook serve & running menus, calendar event
menus, and compare pane menus.
Add a small DOM-free dismissal registry (static/js/escMenuStack.js). Menus
register a dismiss callback while open, and the arbiter closes the
most-recently-opened one first, so a menu opened over a modal closes before the
modal. bindMenuDismiss() wires the ubiquitous "append-to-body, close on outside
click" idiom to both the outside-click listener and the Escape stack in one
call, and dismissOrRemove() lets the pre-existing bulk removers (scroll/swipe/
modal-dismiss cleanup, reopen sweeps) tear a menu down through its real teardown
instead of orphaning its stack entry.
Covers ~14 menus across documentLibrary, chatRenderer, cookbookServe,
cookbookRunning, calendar, and compare/panes. Every teardown path — item click,
outside click, swipe, toggle, rebuild, bulk cleanup — routes through the
registry so no entry is ever stranded.
tests/test_esc_menu_stack_js.py pins the registry's LIFO and
exactly-one-per-press guarantees (node-driven; skips when node is absent).
The email auto-calendar pass (settings.email_auto_calendar / the
extract_email_events task) scans recently received mail and lets an LLM
create / update / cancel calendar events. Two problems made it a cross-tenant,
remotely triggerable hole:
1. No owner scoping. _auto_summarize_pass(account_id=None) fans out over EVERY
enabled account of EVERY user. For each message it fetched an upcoming-events
snapshot with NO owner filter (all tenants' events) and handed those uids +
titles to the extraction LLM, then executed the model's ops via
do_manage_calendar(...) with owner=None. do_manage_calendar only filters by
owner when owner is not None, so create/update/delete ran across ALL users'
calendars. Net: every user's event titles/times were disclosed to the model,
and the model could cancel/move/duplicate any tenant's events by uid.
2. No prompt-injection wrapping. The raw email From/Subject/body were
interpolated straight into an instruction-shaped extraction prompt (unlike
the chat path, which wraps external text via src/prompt_security). Anyone
who can email a user whose instance has auto-calendar enabled could inject
operations: create attacker-controlled "meeting" events (the path even
auto-harvests URLs from the body into the event location/description — a
phishing primitive) or cancel/modify the victim's real events, with zero
human in the loop.
Fix:
- Add core.database.get_upcoming_events(owner) and use it for the snapshot, so
the LLM only ever sees the processed account owner's events.
- Look up the EmailAccount owner in _auto_summarize_pass_single and pass owner=
to every do_manage_calendar call, so create/update/delete are scoped to that
user (owner=None stays the single-user / legacy escape hatch).
- Tell the extraction model the email is untrusted data and not to follow
instructions inside it (defense-in-depth against injection).
Add tests/test_calendar_owner_scope.py: get_upcoming_events returns only the
given owner's events (and everything when owner is None). Fails against the old
unscoped query.
* fix: run bcrypt off the event loop in auth routes
The auth routes are async, but each bcrypt call ran synchronously on the event
loop. bcrypt (checkpw/hashpw) is intentionally CPU-expensive (~100-300 ms), so
every login / signup / setup / change-password froze the single event loop for
that window, stalling all other in-flight requests (chat streams, polling, ...).
/api/auth/login is the worst case: it is reachable unauthenticated, runs bcrypt
twice (verify_password, then create_session re-verifies), and is rate-limited
only per-IP. A burst of login attempts serializes the whole server — cheap
DoS amplification.
Offload the bcrypt-bearing AuthManager calls (setup, signup/create_user,
login's verify_password + create_session, change_password) via
asyncio.to_thread, matching how the codebase already offloads blocking work
(e.g. src/builtin_actions._run_subprocess, email summarize). The event loop
stays responsive while bcrypt runs on a worker thread.
Add tests/test_auth_event_loop.py: asserts login runs verify_password and
create_session on a worker thread, not the loop thread. Fails if those calls
are awaited inline again.
* test: isolate auth event-loop test from heavy core/* import chain
The regression test imported routes.auth_routes, which pulls in
core.auth and so triggers core/__init__.py — transitively importing
src.llm_core (hangs at import under the project venv) and the SQLAlchemy
declarative models (metaclass error on a bare core.database import / under
the conftest sqlalchemy stubs). Reported by the maintainer: collection
failed on system Python and hung under the venv.
Stub core.auth/core.database before the import, mirroring the existing
_ensure_stub pattern in test_auth_regressions.py and test_null_owner_gates.py.
AuthManager is only a type hint here and the handler is exercised with a
MagicMock, so no real core machinery is needed. Test now imports cleanly
and passes in <0.3s without bcrypt/sqlalchemy installed.
/api/auth/settings is auth-exempt (the frontend + the pre-login page read it for
keybinds/TTS prefs), so non-admin and unauthenticated callers get a scrubbed
copy. The previous scrub only blanked TOP-LEVEL string values whose key matched a
short suffix list — so a secret nested under a non-secret parent key, or stored
under a key outside the list, would leak. A real exposure when the app is
reachable over a Cloudflare tunnel / reverse proxy.
- src/settings_scrub.py: NEW stdlib-only module with the scrub helpers (deep/
recursive; broadened secret-key patterns). Kept separate from auth_routes so it
imports + unit-tests WITHOUT pulling the FastAPI / auth / database chain
(addresses review: the test no longer fails at collection on the DB import).
- routes/auth_routes.py: import scrub_settings from the module.
- tests/test_settings_scrub.py: import the tiny module directly.
Ran: pytest tests/test_settings_scrub.py (8 passed); verified the test pulls no
db/auth modules into sys.modules; py_compile routes/auth_routes.py.

Hardens issues found in a security review of the current tree (separate from
the cookbook SSH PR):
- Email thread rendering (static/js/emailLibrary.js): the flat read path runs
inbound HTML through the allowlist sanitizer, but the two threaded paths
(_renderTurnsAsBubbles / _renderTurnsFromServer — the default view) injected
server-parsed `body_html` raw into the DOM. A crafted inbound email could
inject arbitrary markup (phishing/form/credential-capture/tracking; full XSS
if a deployment relaxes the script CSP). Now sanitized on all paths.
- Attachment extraction (routes/email_routes.py, routes/email_helpers.py): the
on-disk extraction dir was `ATTACHMENTS_DIR / f"{folder}_{uid}"` with
user-controlled folder/uid and no containment, so a folder like `../../tmp`
could escape ATTACHMENTS_DIR. New attachment_extract_dir() flattens both to a
single safe segment and asserts containment.
- Diagnostics routes (routes/diagnostics_routes.py): /api/db/stats,
/api/rag/stats, /api/test/youtube, /api/test-research relied only on the
global session check (any logged-in user). Now require_admin-gated.
- Defense-in-depth HTML escaping: session HTML export escapes the session name
(routes/session_routes.py); the MCP OAuth page escapes the reflected Host
header / server_id (routes/mcp_routes.py).
- Internal-tool token now compared with secrets.compare_digest (constant time)
in core/middleware.py and app.py.
