Summary

Fix high severity security issue in package.json.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-001
Severity HIGH
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-001
File package.json:15
Assessment Likely exploitable

Description: The architect-build dependency is referenced via a direct GitHub tarball URL without integrity verification. The tarball is fetched during npm install without cryptographic hash validation, allowing potential substitution of malicious code if the repository is compromised or via man-in-the-middle attack.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: Attacker compromises the c9/architect-build repository or performs man-in-the-middle on HTTPS traffic during npm install to serve a malicious tarball.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-001 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.

Threat Model Context

This is a Node.js library - vulnerabilities affect downstream consumers who use this package.

Changes

  • package.json

Behavior Preservation

This change touches only dependency manifest (package.json); no source file in the repository is modified.

Security Invariant

Property: The security boundary is maintained under adversarial input

Regression test
const { execSync } = require('child_process');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

describe("security boundary is maintained under adversarial input", () => {
  const payloads = [
    "https://github.com/c9/architect-build/tarball/43a6fdeffe", // exact exploit: unverified tarball URL
    "https://evil.com/malicious-package.tar.gz", // boundary: non-github untrusted host
    "architect-build@1.0.0" // valid: semver with registry integrity
  ];

  payloads.forEach((payload) => {
    it(`rejects adversarial input: ${payload}`, () => {
      const pkgPath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'package.json');
      const pkg = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(pkgPath, 'utf8'));
      
      // Security invariant: all dependency URLs must have integrity verification
      const deps = { ...pkg.dependencies, ...pkg.devDependencies };
      
      for (const [name, spec] of Object.entries(deps)) {
        if (spec.startsWith('http://') || spec.startsWith('https://')) {
          // Must have integrity hash or be from trusted registry with lockfile
          const hasLockfile = fs.existsSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'package-lock.json'));
          const lock = hasLockfile ? JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), 'package-lock.json'), 'utf8')) : {};
          const locked = lock.packages?.[`node_modules/${name}`] || lock.dependencies?.[name];
          
          if (!locked?.integrity && !spec.includes('#') && !spec.match(/[a-f0-9]{40}/)) {
            throw new Error(`Unverified remote dependency: ${name}@${spec} lacks integrity validation`);
          }
        }
      }
    });
  });
});

This test guards against regressions — it's useful independent of the code change above.
