From 0612ffc508610f210e9720cdbb6d91de4f21f5df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rocklambros Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 11:03:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] fix(security): gate the unattended pricing refresh on a price-delta budget Whole-repo security scan (181 agents, high effort, three-lens adversarial panel) returned three findings that share one root cause, and the cause is code I shipped this morning. The vendored snapshot's EXPECTED_SNAPSHOT_SHA256 is computed from the same fetch it verifies, so it proves reproducibility and NOT authenticity. buildRegistry.ts said so in its own comment and named the compensating control: "human review of the refresh PR". Making the refresh auto-merge removed exactly that control, and the replacement guards did not cover the gap. The path allowlist permits every pricing change by design, and the anchor gate covers gpt-4o and gpt-4o-mini, which is 2 of 2,386 models and neither carries a tier. Anyone landing a price edit in a community-maintained upstream file could have had it fetched, hashed into our own pin, built, auto-merged and deployed to tokentally.ai inside a week with nobody reading a number. Fix is a deterministic budget rather than a human gate, so a routine refresh still ships unattended as intended. The PR is held for review when any shipped model's input/output/cache rate moves more than 50%, when a rate appears, vanishes or hits zero, when more than 25 models change price, when more than 100 are removed, or on the existing tier/anchor/allowlist conditions. Thresholds are calibrated against the real 2026-07-31 refresh rather than guessed: it moved 2 models, max single move 46%, and dropped 24 deprecated models, so a 25% cap would have blocked a legitimate refresh. Verified against that refresh (passes) and against poisoned variants: a 10x cut, a zeroed rate, and a 40-model 20% mass edit all hold. Also corrects two claims the scan found stale: buildRegistry.ts still named human review as the control, and README.md still said the refresh was monthly and "never auto-merges". Residual risk, documented in the README rather than hidden: a single model's rate can still move up to 50% and ship unattended. 406 tests.
