Requirement or Bug

Keep cold transcript file reads inside the sessions root, and pin that the config route rejects prototype-poisoning bodies. Both are open code-scanning alerts on main.

Bug Reproduction Steps

  1. Give the session index an entry whose workspaceId is ../outside, and put a state.json with an agent at <home>/outside/<session>/state.json.
  2. Call readColdRoster(<session>). It returns the agent from the file outside <home>/sessions.

The new test cold reads stay inside the sessions root when the index names an escaping workspace does this. It fails before the fix and passes after.

Root Cause

TranscriptService.readColdRoster and readColdSnapshot built their paths with join(homeDir, 'sessions', workspaceId, sessionId, ...). Only the agent id was checked. The session id and workspace id come from the session index, so the path is safe only while the index is. The gateway already has resolveStoragePath, which rejects segments that leave the root, and readWireRecords already uses it. This is a fix at the root.

Code Changes

  readColdRoster(sessionId)
-   readFile(join(homeDir, 'sessions', workspaceId, sessionId, 'state.json'))
+   readFile(resolveStoragePath(homeDir, 'sessions', workspaceId, sessionId, 'state.json'))
    escape -> caught like any unreadable state file -> []

  readColdSnapshot(sessionId, agentId)
-   wirePath = join(homeDir, 'sessions', workspaceId, sessionId, 'agents', agentId, 'wire.jsonl')
+   wirePath = resolveStoragePath(homeDir, 'sessions', workspaceId, sessionId, 'agents', agentId, 'wire.jsonl')
    escape -> throws "Storage path escapes its root"

Config route: Fastify's default JSON parser already rejects __proto__ and constructor.prototype keys, so convertKeysSnakeToCamel never sees them. A plain constructor key only becomes an own property. No code change; a new test pins the rejection.

Behavior Changes and Affected Users

Behavior Before After Who relies on the old behavior Escape hatch
Cold roster with a session-index entry whose ids leave the sessions root Reads the file outside the root Returns an empty roster Nobody; the index only holds ids the engine created n/a
Cold snapshot with such an entry Reads the wire file outside the root Throws "Storage path escapes its root" Nobody n/a
Config POST with __proto__ or constructor.prototype keys Rejected by the JSON parser Unchanged (now covered by a test) n/a n/a

Affected module: packages/agent-gateway transcript service. Tests: test/services/transcript.test.ts (new escape test, red before the fix), test/config.test.ts (new parser pin). Gateway suite 75 files / 1437 passed; gateway typecheck, pnpm run lint (0 errors) and check-no-comments pass. [skip changeset] Users cannot see this change: the session index only holds ids the engine created.

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have linked a related issue (external PRs: issue must have a maintainer's /approve).
  • I have added tests that prove my feature works.
  • The behavior-change table above is complete, and every removed behavior or flipped default is named in the changeset and either has an escape hatch or was explicitly approved by a maintainer in this PR.
  • Ran gen-changesets skill, or this PR needs no changeset.
  • Ran gen-docs skill, or this PR needs no doc update.

Cold roster and snapshot reads built their file path with join() from session-index values. Use resolveStoragePath so a bad workspace or session id cannot read files outside the sessions root, and pin that the config route rejects prototype-poisoning bodies.

📝 Walkthrough

Transcript cold reads now resolve storage paths through resolveStoragePath. Tests cover an escaping workspace path and configuration POST bodies containing prototype-poisoning keys.

Changes: Transcript Storage Path Resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cold-read path resolution and regression coverage
packages/agent-gateway/src/services/transcript/transcriptService.ts, packages/agent-gateway/test/services/transcript.test.ts
readColdRoster and readColdSnapshot now use resolveStoragePath. A regression test checks that an escaping workspace path returns an empty roster and causes snapshot reads to reject with Storage path escapes its root.

Configuration Payload Rejection Test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prototype-poisoning payload rejection test
packages/agent-gateway/test/config.test.ts
A test checks that configuration POST bodies with __proto__, constructor, or nested prototype keys receive a nonzero error code and a not valid JSON message.

Replace the double assertion with a typed test dependency.

The test object implements only accessor.get, but Scope is a concrete class with additional lifecycle members. as unknown as Scope hides this mismatch. Use a typed test helper or narrow the dependency to the accessor contract used by TranscriptService.

Clear the security audit advisories published 2026-10-20 with root pnpm overrides. vite is capped at 8.1.x to avoid a larger build-tool jump. The lockfile is a web build input, so the web bundle is restaged and the Nix dependency hash is refreshed.
A minimum of 8.1.6 keeps the advisory fix and lets normal upgrades move past 8.1. The lockfile still resolves 8.1.6.
