2
+ id: ATR-2026-02105
3
+ rule_version: 1
4
+ status: experimental
5
+ description: >
6
+ Detects a JSON/object payload or code snippet that reaches
7
+ Object.prototype through the `constructor.prototype.<key>` traversal path
8
+ rather than the literal `__proto__` key -- the classic incomplete guard
9
+ bypass, since many sanitizers/anonymizers only special-case `__proto__`
10
+ and let any other key (including "constructor") assign through
11
+ unmodified. Mined from GHSA-fw9q-39r9-c252 (the LangSmith JS/TS SDK's
12
+ vendored lodash `set()` utility guards only the literal `__proto__` key
13
+ in `baseAssignValue()`; a nested object with a key shaped like
14
+ "constructor.prototype.isAdmin" traverses obj.constructor -> Object ->
15
+ Object.prototype and writes through, polluting every object in the
16
+ process even though the anonymizer's own deep-clone step was supposed to
17
+ contain the mutation). Generalized beyond LangSmith's specific
18
+ anonymizer entry point to any JSON/object-processing tool argument or
19
+ code payload using this same traversal path. Verified against the
20
+ current engine: a literal `__proto__` payload is already caught by the
21
+ existing generic dunder-token rule (ATR-2026-00062), but a
22
+ `constructor.prototype`-shaped bypass payload -- the exact incomplete-fix
23
+ scenario this CVE demonstrates, and the same blind spot a
24
+ substring/keyword-based filter is inherently prone to -- produces no
25
+ match before this rule.

+ description: >
6
+ Detects a tool_response/MCP tool-result body carrying a "MEDIA:" (or
7
+ file://-scheme) directive token that points at a local temp-directory
8
+ path with a credential/secret-sounding filename, or at a system-sensitive
9
+ directory outside any expected media-output tree. Some agent frameworks
10
+ post-process tool results looking for these directive tokens and
11
+ auto-attach the referenced local file's contents to an outbound channel
12
+ (Discord/Slack/Telegram/etc.) without validating that the path was
13
+ actually produced by a trusted first-party tool. Mined from
14
+ GHSA-jjgj-cpp9-cvpv (OpenClaw's tool-result processing pipeline extracts
15
+ file paths from "MEDIA:" tokens in MCP tool-result text with no
16
+ source-level validation, checks them only against a `localRoots`
17
+ allowlist that includes os.tmpdir() by default -- world-readable /tmp on
18
+ Linux/macOS, %TEMP% on Windows -- and then reads and delivers the file
19
+ contents to external messaging channels; a malicious or compromised MCP
20
+ server can therefore exfiltrate any file an application happened to leave
21
+ in the shared temp directory by returning `MEDIA:/tmp/app-secrets.env` as
22
+ ordinary tool-result text). Generalized beyond OpenClaw's exact
23
+ implementation to any agent framework with an equivalent directive-token
24
+ auto-attach mechanism. Verified against the current engine: a neutral
25
+ MEDIA: path (`/tmp/output.log`) produces no match from any existing rule,
26
+ and even a sensitive-looking path only coincidentally matches existing
27
+ generic file-credential rules when the referenced directory itself
28
+ happens to be one of a few hardcoded sensitive prefixes (/etc, /home) --
29
+ the actual documented primary risk vector (secrets left in the default
30
+ shared /tmp allowlist) is not covered at all before this rule.
