# K9x Satan — Security Analysis Tool for Agentic Networks

Adversarial test harness for K9X Shield.

Satan generates structured attacks against a live K9-AIF pipeline and verifies
that every attack is stopped at the Router or Orchestrator boundary. Any attack
that reaches a Squad or Agent is a finding — not a partial pass.

---

## Containment Contract

```
Attack → Router (ingress gate)       → BLOCKED  ✓
              ↓ if not blocked
         Orchestrator (egress gate)  → BLOCKED  ✓
              ↓ if not blocked
         Squad / Agent               → FINDING  ✗  (Shield failed)
```

## Defense in Depth — Two Independent Layers

**K9X Shield** applies deterministic, policy-driven checks — 14 handlers total
(13 framework OOB, 1 Satan-local), wired into the Router's ingress
`VulnerabilityChain` and the Orchestrator's egress `VulnerabilityChain`.
Explainable, zero LLM cost, evaluated identically every run. Evadable by
paraphrase, encoding, or wording changes no regex list can enumerate in
advance.

13 of the 14 checks now live in the framework itself
(`k9_aif_abb.k9_security.vulnerability.checks`) — five of them
(`ToolAuthorizationCheck`, `MemoryPoisoningCheck`, `SystemPromptLeakageCheck`,
`OutputSanitizationCheck`, `RequestFrequencyCheck`) were proven here first and
promoted upstream once verified. A sixth, `PIIRequestCheck`, was added
directly to the framework (not harvested from a Satan-local check) after a
live attack — a "compliance audit" document asking that full SSN, date of
birth, and bank account/routing numbers be included in the response —
reached the agent layer uncaught: it contains no literal PII for
`PIIBoundaryCheck`'s patterns to match, only a request that PII be
disclosed. `PIIRequestCheck` targets that request itself, matching
solicitation phrasing against sensitive-field mentions, wired at ingress
so it blocks before an agent ever acts on it. Only `FieldAnomalyCheck` remains Satan-local
— its pattern set (`EXEC-OVERRIDE`, `Priority: CRITICAL`, `COO auth`) is tuned
specifically to this project's own insurance-claim test corpus, so promoting
it as-is would misrepresent a worked example as a general framework
capability. This is the harvesting pattern already used elsewhere in K9-AIF's
design (a proven local capability, generalized and elevated to an OOB
ABB-level capability) — see the framework's `k9_security/docs/08-security-design-
rationale.md` for the full reasoning on why this promotion is one-way (Satan
proves a check, the framework absorbs it) and why Satan itself never becomes
part of Shield.

**IBM Guardian** (`granite4.1-guardian:8b` via Ollama) is an optional semantic
layer wrapping every agent's pre/post hooks — it catches paraphrased injection,
subtle goal hijacking, and disguised privilege escalation that survive the
pattern layer. Neither replaces the other: Shield holds with Guardian disabled
entirely (`NoopGovernance`, the default); Guardian only ever adds coverage on
top.

Guardian unavailability (timeout, HTTP error, unreachable endpoint) is never
silently treated as "SAFE" — it produces an explicit `UNAVAILABLE` verdict, and
`governance.on_guardian_unavailable` in `config/config.yaml` decides the policy:
`fail_closed` (default — blocks/redacts), `fail_open` (documented risk), or
`inconclusive` (flags without blocking).

A third governance option, `ShieldGovernance` (`k9_aif_abb.k9_security.vulnerability`),
wires the *same* check classes Router/Orchestrator already use, but at the
agent pre/post hook level — a second valid architectural point for the same
`VulnerabilityChain` ABB.

Prove what Guardian adds instead of asserting it:

```bash
python -m k9x_satan.runner.satan_runner --target http://localhost:6660 \
    --suite full --compare-governance
```

Fires every attack twice — deterministic-only, then deterministic + Guardian —
and reports which findings Guardian closed. A regression (Guardian making a
previously-contained attack pass) is flagged as a bug, not a result.

## Complete Check Inventory

| # | Check | Stage | Owner | Threat Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | `RequestFrequencyCheck` | Ingress | Framework OOB | Unbounded Consumption — OWASP LLM10 |
| 2 | `InputSizeCheck` | Ingress | Framework OOB | Token-flood / oversized payload — OWASP LLM10 |
| 3 | `PromptInjectionCheck` | Ingress | Framework OOB | Indirect Prompt Injection — Zscaler #1 · OWASP LLM01 |
| 4 | `FieldAnomalyCheck` | Ingress | Satan-local | Authority-override social engineering |
| 5 | `MemoryPoisoningCheck` | Ingress | Framework OOB | Memory Poisoning — Zscaler #3 · OWASP LLM04 |
| 6 | `ToolArgumentCheck` | Ingress + Egress | Framework OOB | Tool Abuse — poisoned arguments — Zscaler #4 · OWASP LLM05 |
| 7 | `ToolAuthorizationCheck` | Ingress + Egress | Framework OOB | Shadow AI — unapproved tool — Zscaler #4 |
| 8 | `PIIRequestCheck` | Ingress | Framework OOB | Solicited PII disclosure (compliance/audit framing) — OWASP LLM02 |
| 9 | `SemanticDriftCheck` | Egress | Framework OOB | Goal Hijacking & Privilege Escalation — Zscaler #2 · OWASP LLM06 |
| 10 | `ExecutionGuardCheck` | Egress | Framework OOB | Destructive execution — Zscaler #2 · OWASP LLM06 |
| 11 | `PIIBoundaryCheck` | Egress | Framework OOB | Sensitive Info Disclosure (literal PII) — OWASP LLM02 |
| 12 | `HardcodedCredentialCheck` | Egress | Framework OOB | Supply chain / secret leakage — OWASP LLM03 |
| 13 | `SystemPromptLeakageCheck` | Egress | Framework OOB | System Prompt Leakage — OWASP LLM07 |
| 14 | `OutputSanitizationCheck` | Egress | Framework OOB | Improper Output Handling — OWASP LLM05 |
| — | `GuardianGovernance` | Router ingress + Agent pre/post | Satan-local | Semantic evasion of all 14 above (cross-cutting, optional) |

`ToolArgumentCheck`/`ToolAuthorizationCheck` are deliberately wired at **both** gates. Ingress catches caller-supplied `tool_name`/`tool_arguments`/`*_backend` fields present in the payload before Squad/Agent ever runs — closing the "detected too late" gap from the pre-2026-07 egress-only layout. Egress stays wired too because a real agent can generate a *fresh* tool call mid-execution from LLM output, which doesn't exist yet at ingress — only egress (seeing `{**payload, **squad_output}`) has a chance at catching that case. Same defense-in-depth principle as Guardian (additive, never a replacement). Satan's own agents don't generate tool calls, so the egress copy is a dormant safety net in this harness — present for what a real deployment's agent would do.

Out of scope by design (not runtime-checkable at the payload level): training-data
poisoning, vector/embedding attacks (no RAG in this target), misinformation/hallucination.

## Adding a New Attack

1. Create `attacks/my_attack.py` extending `BaseAttack` (`k9_aif_abb.k9_security.attacks.base_attack`)
2. Fire via the shared `attacks/_fire.py` helper — it POSTs to `/api/attack/fire` and
   correctly reports connection failures as `FLAGGED` (inconclusive), never a fabricated `BLOCKED`
3. Add malicious payload to `corpus/` if document-based
4. Register in `runner/attack_registry.py`
5. Run: `python -m k9x_satan.runner.satan_runner --attack my_attack --target http://localhost:6660`

## Adding a New Check

1. Create `target/my_check.py` extending `BaseVulnerabilityCheck` (`k9_aif_abb.k9_security.vulnerability.base_vulnerability_check`)
2. Wire it into `DocumentRouter._build_ingress_chain()` or `DocumentOrchestrator._build_egress_chain()`
3. Write the matching attack (above) to prove it holds

## Relationship to K9X Shield

Satan and Shield are symmetric. Every `BaseAttack` targets a specific
`BaseVulnerabilityCheck`. A PASSED result means a new check is needed in Shield.

| Satan Attack | Shield Check |
|---|---|
| `PromptInjectionAttack` | `PromptInjectionCheck` |
| `SearchPoisoningAttack` | `PromptInjectionCheck` (real tool-response fetch from fake_search) |
| `PayloadFloodAttack` | `InputSizeCheck` |
| `MemoryPoisoningAttack` | `MemoryPoisoningCheck` |
| `RequestFloodAttack` | `RequestFrequencyCheck` |
| `SemanticDriftAttack` | `SemanticDriftCheck` |
| `ExecutionBypassAttack` | `ExecutionGuardCheck` |
| `PIIExfiltrationAttack` | `PIIBoundaryCheck` |
| `ToolArgumentAttack` | `ToolArgumentCheck` |
| `HardcodedCredentialAttack` | `HardcodedCredentialCheck` |
| `ShadowToolAttack` | `ToolAuthorizationCheck` |
| `SystemPromptLeakageAttack` | `SystemPromptLeakageCheck` |
| `OutputSanitizationAttack` | `OutputSanitizationCheck` |
