From e545023e46a3eedbf3582a9d618bf4190da81e41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Renn F Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:43:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(grok): prompt-injection guard for Grok (parity with the Claude hook) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The injection guard is RoboCo's own hook (user-prompt-hook.sh), not a runtime built-in, so it can be recreated at our input boundary regardless of runtime — opencode's lack of a blocking pre-prompt hook is irrelevant. - prompt_guard.detect_injection: the deny patterns ported to reusable Python. - IntakeDriver._run_turn scans every interactive turn before sending it to the model and denies a match as an error chunk. Covers BOTH Grok (opencode) and the Claude SDK intake (which runs with setting_sources=[] and so never loaded the bash hook — it was unguarded too). - The one-shot grok entrypoint scans ROBOCO_INITIAL_PROMPT and refuses a poisoned task prompt (parity with the Claude UserPromptSubmit deny). - Broadened the pattern (Python + the bash hook, kept in sync) to catch the multi-qualifier canonical phrasing "ignore all previous instructions", which the single-qualifier original missed — without false-positiving on "ignore the linting rules" (an intermediate non-qualifier word breaks it). So Grok now has the command/secret-exfil guard (secret-scrub), the cost cap, AND the injection guard. Verified: 94 agent_sdk tests pass; bash + Python agree on detect/miss cases. --- docker/scripts/grok-agent-entrypoint.sh | 8 ++ docker/scripts/user-prompt-hook.sh | 2 +- roboco/agent_sdk/intake_driver.py | 13 +++ roboco/agent_sdk/prompt_guard.py | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/agent_sdk/test_intake_driver.py | 29 +++++++ tests/unit/agent_sdk/test_prompt_guard.py | 51 ++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 196 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 roboco/agent_sdk/prompt_guard.py create mode 100644 tests/unit/agent_sdk/test_prompt_guard.py diff --git a/docker/scripts/grok-agent-entrypoint.sh b/docker/scripts/grok-agent-entrypoint.sh index caa98aeb..c93fbdbf 100755 --- a/docker/scripts/grok-agent-entrypoint.sh +++ b/docker/scripts/grok-agent-entrypoint.sh @@ -29,6 +29,14 @@ if [ -n "${ROBOCO_GROK_VARIANT:-}" ]; then variant_arg=(--variant "$ROBOCO_GROK_VARIANT") fi +# Prompt-injection guard (parity with the Claude UserPromptSubmit hook): the +# task prompt is DATA, not instructions — refuse a poisoned one before it +# reaches the model.
