No collaboration features visible. | +| HO-5 | **LOW** | Homepage shows hardcoded stats | "50K+ Videos Processed" and "99.9% Uptime SLA" are static values in `page.tsx:397-400`, not pulled from real metrics. | + +#### Suggested Changes for Human Operator + +1. **Enable NextAuth.js session enforcement** on `/dashboard` route via Next.js middleware +2. **Add workspace/team isolation** using the existing `Tenant` and `TenantUser` models (`backend/models/tenant.py`) +3. **Add user-friendly error messages** with retry buttons and support contact links +4. **Implement share-via-link** for analysis results (read-only public URLs with expiration) +5. **Connect stats to real metrics** via the existing `/api/v1/metrics` endpoint + +--- + +### Test 2: Automated Bot (CI/CD Pipeline) + +#### What Works + +| Area | Finding | Status | +|------|---------|--------| +| **REST API** | POST `/api/v1/transcript-action` accepts structured requests | PASS | +| **Pydantic Validation** | Request bodies validated with type checking and constraints | PASS | +| **JSON Responses** | Structured output with events, actions, and metadata | PASS | +| **OpenAPI Docs** | Auto-generated API documentation at `/docs` and `/redoc` | PASS | + +#### Issues Found + +| ID | Severity | Issue | Details | +|----|----------|-------|---------| +| BOT-1 | **CRITICAL** | No API key authentication | All endpoints are publicly accessible. Any bot can consume resources without identification. The `X-API-Key` header is defined in OpenAPI schema but NOT enforced in middleware. | +| BOT-2 | **CRITICAL** | Rate limiting disabled | Rate limiting middleware is commented out in `main.py:165-172`. A bot can flood the API and exhaust AI provider quotas. | +| BOT-3 | **HIGH** | No idempotency keys | Repeated submissions of the same video URL create duplicate processing jobs. No deduplication mechanism for API consumers. | +| BOT-4 | **HIGH** | No request tracing | No `X-Request-ID` or correlation ID for tracking requests across the pipeline. Difficult to debug batch operations. | +| BOT-5 | **MEDIUM** | Video URL regex allows trailing content | YouTube URL validation uses `.match()` instead of `.fullmatch()` in `api/v1/models.py:59-67`, allowing payloads appended after valid URL prefix. | +| BOT-6 | **MEDIUM** | No pagination on video list | `GET /api/v1/videos` returns all videos. At scale, this becomes a performance problem for bots processing large catalogs. | +| BOT-7 | **LOW** | No webhook/callback support | Bots must poll for completion.

No capability restrictions or least-privilege enforcement. | +| AG-2 | **CRITICAL** | Prompt injection via transcripts | Video transcripts are concatenated directly into agent prompts without sanitization, escaping, or delimiter boundaries. A crafted transcript can override agent instructions. See `video_master_agent.py:142-182`. | +| AG-3 | **HIGH** | No output schema validation | Agent responses are parsed with lenient JSON extraction and raw text fallbacks. Malformed or manipulated outputs pass through without validation against expected schemas. | +| AG-4 | **HIGH** | Agent context poisoning | In sequential execution, agent outputs are merged into input data via `current_data.update(result.output)` (`agent_orchestrator.py:181-226`). A compromised agent can override any field for downstream agents. | +| AG-5 | **HIGH** | A2A message bus is unauthenticated | Any agent can send messages to any other agent via the global `message_bus` singleton without authentication or authorization checks (`a2a.py:225-240`). | +| AG-6 | **MEDIUM** | Unbounded context history | `MCPContext.history` is an unbounded list with no cleanup. Long-running or high-volume agent sessions can exhaust memory. | +| AG-7 | **MEDIUM** | No agent versioning | No mechanism to track which version of an agent produced a result. Cannot A/B test agent improvements or rollback. | +| AG-8 | **MEDIUM** | LiteRT subprocess with unsanitized inputs | The LiteRT MCP server passes user-supplied `prompt` and `model_path` directly to `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec()` (`server.py:207-212`). | + +#### Suggested Changes for AI Agent + +1. **Implement agent capability model** — define per-agent permissions (e.g., `can_access_transcript`, `can_call_api`, `can_write_files`) +2. **Add prompt injection defenses**: + - Use XML/delimiter tags to separate system instructions from user content + - Sanitize transcript text (strip control characters, limit special sequences) + - Implement output validation that rejects responses deviating from expected schema +3. **Enforce output schema validation** — define Pydantic models for each agent's expected output and reject non-conforming responses +4. **Isolate agent context** — use immutable copies for sequential execution instead of `dict.update()` +5. **Authenticate A2A messages** — add agent identity tokens and message signing +6. **Bound context history** — implement circular buffer or TTL-based cleanup for `MCPContext.history` +7. **Add agent versioning** — tag results with agent version for traceability +8. **Sanitize LiteRT inputs** — validate `prompt` and `model_path` against allowlists + +--- + +### Test 4: Security Researcher (Matvey) + +#### Attack Surface Analysis + +| Attack Vector | Target | Exploitability | Impact | +|--------------|--------|----------------|--------| +| **Unauthenticated API Access** | All `/api/v1/` endpoints | Trivial | Resource exhaustion, data access | +| **CORS Misconfiguration** | `code_generator.py`, `real_api_endpoints.py` | Easy | Cross-origin credential theft | +| **Prompt Injection via Transcript** | Agent prompt construction | Moderate | Agent behavior manipulation | +| **Prompt Injection via Video Title/Description** | `video_master_agent.py:142-182` | Moderate | Response manipulation | +| **URL Regex Bypass** | `api/v1/models.py:59-67` | Easy | Malformed URL processing | +| **Error Information Leakage** | Legacy endpoints in `main.py` | Trivial | Internal path/architecture disclosure | +| **SSRF via Video URL** | YouTube URL processing | Low | Internal network scanning | +| **Agent Context Poisoning** | Sequential agent execution | Moderate | Downstream agent manipulation | +| **A2A Message Spoofing** | Global message bus | Easy | Cross-agent command injection | +| **Cost Exhaustion (DoS)** | AI provider API calls | Easy | Financial damage via uncapped spending | + +#### Critical Findings + +**Finding SEC-1: CORS Wildcard with Credentials (CRITICAL)** + +Location: `src/youtube_extension/backend/code_generator.py`, `real_api_endpoints.py` + +```python +app.add_middleware( + CORSMiddleware, + allow_origins=["*"], + allow_credentials=True, + allow_methods=["*"], +) +``` + +Any origin can make credentialed requests to these endpoints.

EventRelay gives agents access to transcripts, API keys, and inter-agent communication. The Moltbot prompt injection attack (malicious email → data exfiltration) maps directly to EventRelay's risk: **malicious transcript → agent manipulation → attacker-controlled action items**. + +**Recommendation**: Implement the same isolation principles Moltbot learned the hard way — sandbox agents, validate all inputs, and never trust external content as instructions. + +### Lesson 2: Credential Exposure Scales + +Hundreds of Moltbot instances were found on Shodan with exposed API keys. EventRelay's unauthenticated endpoints create a similar surface — anyone who discovers the deployment URL has full API access. + +**Recommendation**: Authentication is not optional. Enable API key validation immediately, even before building a full auth system. + +### Lesson 3: Trust Boundaries Must Be Explicit + +Moltbot users trusted the AI with sensitive actions. EventRelay's multi-agent architecture needs explicit trust boundaries: which agents can access what data, which agents can call external APIs, and which agent outputs need human review before action. + +**Recommendation**: Define and enforce an agent capability model. Map each agent to its minimum required permissions. + +### Lesson 4: Bot Detection Matters + +Moltbot's rename created a 10-second window for scammers to hijack accounts. EventRelay has no bot detection, meaning automated abuse (scraping, resource exhaustion, content theft) is trivially easy. + +**Recommendation**: Add bot detection headers, implement CAPTCHA for high-cost operations, and require API keys for programmatic access. + +--- + +## Priority Action Items + +### P0 — Immediate (Blocks Production Use) + +| #
