- GROOVE SECURITY AUDIT & ANALYSIS
2
- =================================
3
-
4
- Date: April 17, 2026
5
- Auditor: GROOVE Security Agent (internal, automated)
6
- Version: v0.27.41
7
- Scope: Full daemon, GUI, CLI, and provider architecture review
8
-
9
-
10
- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
11
- -----------------
12
-
13
- Groove is a localhost-only process manager for AI coding agents. Its security model is
14
- fundamentally different from tools that bind to open ports or proxy credentials through
15
- a server. The daemon hard-blocks network exposure, encrypts stored credentials with
16
- machine-bound keys, validates all inputs against strict schemas, and isolates agents
17
- through scope-based file locks enforced at runtime.
18
-
19
- This report covers 12 security areas across the full codebase.
20

- The daemon binds to 127.0.0.1:31415. This is not just a default -- it is a hard
27
- security policy. If anyone attempts to bind to 0.0.0.0 or ::, the daemon prints an
28
- error and exits immediately. The process refuses to start.
29
-
30
- Remote access is only available through two channels, both encrypted and authenticated:
31
-
32
- - SSH tunnel (groove connect)
33
- - Tailscale private mesh network (--host tailscale)
34
-
35
- There is no configuration path that exposes Groove to the open internet.

- 2. CORS -- RESTRICTIVE ORIGIN VALIDATION
42
- ================================================================================
43
-
44
- Every HTTP request is checked against a strict origin whitelist. Only requests from
45
- localhost, 127.0.0.1, or the explicitly bound Tailscale interface are allowed. Any
46
- other origin is silently rejected -- the browser never receives a permissive CORS
47
- header, so cross-origin requests from external websites are blocked automatically.
48
-
49
- Result: PASS
50

51
-
52
- ================================================================================
53
- 3. WEBSOCKET SECURITY -- ORIGIN VERIFICATION + FEDERATION SIGNING
54
- ================================================================================
55
-
56
- WebSocket upgrade requests go through the same origin check as HTTP. Non-whitelisted
57
- origins have their sockets destroyed immediately -- the connection is terminated before
58
- any data is exchanged.
59
-
60
- Federation connections (daemon-to-daemon) require signed headers with a daemon ID and
61
- cryptographic signature. Missing or invalid headers result in immediate socket
62
- destruction.
63
-
64
- Result: PASS

67
- ================================================================================
68
- 4. INPUT VALIDATION -- STRICT SCHEMA ENFORCEMENT
69
- ================================================================================
70
-
71
- All API inputs are validated against strict patterns and size limits before processing:
72
-
73
- Role: Alphanumeric plus dash/underscore, max 50 characters
74
- Name: Alphanumeric plus dash/underscore, max 64 characters
75
- Scope patterns: Max 20 patterns, each max 200 characters
76
- Scope paths: No ".." (path traversal), no "/" prefix (absolute paths), no null bytes
77
- Prompt: Max 50,000 characters
78
- Permission: Must be "auto" or "full" (whitelist)
79
- Unknown fields: Silently stripped -- only safe fields are accepted
80
-
81
- Path traversal, absolute path injection, and null byte injection are all explicitly
82
- rejected at the validation layer.
83
-
84
- Result: PASS

- ================================================================================
88
- 5. CREDENTIAL ENCRYPTION -- AES-256-GCM WITH MACHINE-BOUND KEYS
89
- ================================================================================
90
-
91
- Stored API keys are encrypted using AES-256-GCM, which is authenticated encryption --
92
- it provides both confidentiality (nobody can read the key) and integrity (nobody can
93
- tamper with the ciphertext without detection).
94
-
95
- The encryption key is derived via scrypt from a machine-specific seed that incorporates
96
- the machine's hostname, home directory path, and a 256-bit random seed. Each encryption
97
- operation uses a fresh random 128-bit initialization vector.
98
-
99
- Key properties:
100
-
101
- - Credentials copied to another machine are unrecoverable
102
- - The GCM authentication tag detects any tampering
103
- - All credential files are set to owner-only read/write permissions (0o600)
104
- - The random seed file itself is also owner-only (0o600)
105
-
106
- Result: PASS
107
-
108
-
109
- ================================================================================
110
- 6. PROCESS SPAWNING -- NO SHELL INJECTION
111
- ================================================================================
112
-
113
- Agent processes are spawned using Node.js spawn() with an arguments array, never
114
- through a shell. This is a critical distinction -- arguments are passed as discrete
115
- values, not concatenated into a string that gets interpreted by bash or zsh.
116
-
117
- User-controlled values like model names, prompts, and agent roles are passed as literal
118
- arguments. The "shell: true" option is never set anywhere in the codebase. No string
119
- interpolation occurs in command construction.
120
-
121
- Result: PASS
122
-
123
-
124
- ================================================================================
125
- 7. SCOPE-BASED AGENT ISOLATION (KNOCK PROTOCOL)
126
- ================================================================================
127
-
128
- Groove implements a scope-based file isolation system that operates at two stages:
129
-
130
- Spawn-Time Collision Check:
131
- When an agent is spawned, its declared file scope patterns are checked against all
132
- running agents. If two agents' scopes overlap, the second spawn fails. Two agents
133
- cannot be assigned to the same files simultaneously.
134
-
135
- Runtime Knock Protocol:
136
- Every file operation an agent attempts triggers a validation check before it executes.
137
- The lock manager verifies the target file path against the agent's registered scope
138
- patterns. If an agent tries to write outside its scope, the operation is denied and
139
- the attempt is logged to the audit trail.
140
-
141
- Working Directory Containment:
142
- Agent working directories must reside within the project directory. Paths outside the
143
- project boundary are rejected at spawn time.
144
-
145
- Important caveat: This is orchestration-level isolation, not OS-level sandboxing. Agents
146
- run as the same Unix user as the daemon. The knock protocol prevents agents from
147
- conflicting with each other through the tool layer, but does not provide kernel-level
148
- containment like containers or seccomp. The isolation is enforced at the coordination
149
- layer, which is effective for its purpose but distinct from a full sandbox.
150
-
151
- Result: PASS
152
-
153
-
154
- ================================================================================
155
- 8. PROTOTYPE POLLUTION PROTECTION
156
- ================================================================================
157
-
158
- The agent registry only accepts updates to a defined whitelist of safe fields. Any
159
- attempt to set unknown fields -- including __proto__ or constructor -- is silently
160
- dropped.
161
-
162
- WebSocket message parsing explicitly checks for and rejects messages containing
163
- __proto__ or constructor keys. This prevents attackers from manipulating the JavaScript
164
- prototype chain through crafted payloads.
165
-
166
- Result: PASS
167
-
168
-
169
- ================================================================================
170
- 9. FILE PERMISSIONS -- OWNER-ONLY ACROSS ALL SENSITIVE FILES
171
- ================================================================================
172
-
173
- All sensitive files are created with 0o600 permissions (owner read/write only, no
174
- group or world access):
175
-
176
- Agent logs
177
- Credential seed file
178
- Credential store
179
- Audit log
180
- Federation private keys
181
- Integration credential files
182
-
183
- The only exception is the federation public key, which is intentionally set to 0o644
184
- (world-readable) since it is designed to be shared.
185
-
186
- Result: PASS
187

190
- 10. WHAT GROOVE DOES NOT DO
191
- ================================================================================
192
-
193
- This is architecturally significant and differentiates Groove from tools that proxy
194
- credentials:
195
-
196
- Proxy API calls to Claude/OpenAI/Gemini? No.
197
- Touch OAuth tokens? No.
198
- Impersonate AI providers? No.
199
- Store user subscription credentials? No.
200
- Forward agent credentials through the daemon? No.
201
-
202
- Each agent process (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) runs as a standalone executable
203
- with its own authentication. The daemon never relays API calls or handles provider
204
- credentials on behalf of agents.
205
-
206
- The one exception: Groove's journalist feature makes direct Anthropic API calls using
207
- a locally-stored API key for internal project synthesis. This is the daemon's own
208
- feature -- it does not proxy on behalf of any agent.
209
-
210
- Result: PASS
211
-
212
-
213
- ================================================================================
214
- 11. AUDIT TRAIL
215
- ================================================================================
216
-
217
- All state-changing operations are logged to an append-only audit file:
218
-
219
- Knock protocol decisions (allowed and denied) with agent ID, tool, and targets
220
- Agent lifecycle events (spawn, kill, rotate)
221
- Configuration changes
222
- Credential operations
223
-
224
- Audit logs use owner-only permissions and are append-only -- no API endpoint can
225
- truncate or delete the log.
226
-
227
- Result: PASS
228
-
229
-
230
- ================================================================================
231
- 12. PORT EXPOSURE
232
- ================================================================================
233
-
234
- Port 31415: Bound to 127.0.0.1. Not network-accessible.
235
- Ports 31416-25: Fallback range if 31415 is in use. Also bound to 127.0.0.1.
236
-
237
- No other ports are opened by the daemon. Remote access requires explicit SSH tunnel
238
- or Tailscale configuration, both of which are encrypted and authenticated.
239
-
240
- Result: PASS
241
-
242
-
243
- ================================================================================
244
- GROOVE vs. TOOLS THAT LEAVE PORTS OPEN
245
- ================================================================================
246
-
247
- Network binding:
248
- Groove binds to 127.0.0.1 and enforces it -- you cannot override to 0.0.0.0.
249
- Many open-source agent tools default to 0.0.0.0, making them accessible to any
250
- device on the network.
251
-
252
- Credential handling:
253
- Groove uses machine-bound AES-256-GCM encryption and never proxies credentials.
254
- Tools with open ports may proxy API keys through the server, exposing them to
255
- network-level interception.
256
-
257
- Agent isolation:
258
- Groove enforces scope locks and a knock protocol on every file operation.
259
- Most comparable tools have no agent-to-agent isolation at all.
260
-
261
- Input validation:
262
- Groove validates all inputs against strict schemas and blocks path traversal.
263
- Input validation quality varies widely across open-source agent tools.
264
-
265
- Remote access:
266
- Groove requires SSH tunnel or Tailscale -- both encrypted and authenticated.
267
- Tools with open ports allow direct, often unauthenticated network access.
268
-
269
- CORS policy:
270
- Groove validates origins and only allows localhost.
271
- Many tools use permissive CORS (wildcard *) or skip CORS entirely.
272
-
273
- Process spawning:
274
- Groove uses argument arrays, never shell interpolation.
275
- Some tools concatenate user input into shell commands.
276
-
277
- Prototype pollution:
278
- Groove explicitly whitelists fields and blocks __proto__/constructor.
279
- This is rarely addressed in comparable tools.
280
-
281
-
282
- ================================================================================
283
- SHOULD GROOVE BE INSTALLED ON A SEPARATE MACHINE?
284
- ================================================================================
285
-
286
- For standard development use: No. A separate machine is not required.
287
-
288
- The daemon is not network-accessible. No provider credentials are proxied or exposed.
289
- Stored keys are encrypted and machine-bound. All sensitive files have restrictive
290
- permissions. The architecture is designed for safe use on a daily development machine.
291
-
292
- The residual risk is the AI agents themselves, not Groove's architecture. Claude Code,
293
- Codex, and Gemini CLI run with your filesystem permissions. If an agent were to execute
294
- a destructive command, that would be the agent's behavior within its own permission
295
- model -- not a Groove vulnerability. Groove mitigates this through scope locks and the
296
- knock protocol, but does not provide kernel-level containment.
297
-
298
- For high-security environments where production credentials, banking sessions, or
299
- sensitive SSH keys are present on the same machine, using a dedicated development
300
- machine or VM is a reasonable precaution. However, this applies to any tool that gives
301
- AI agents shell access, not to Groove specifically.
302
-
303
-
304
- ================================================================================
305
- CONCLUSION
306
- ================================================================================
307
-
308
- Groove's security architecture is defense-in-depth at the orchestration layer:
309
- localhost binding (enforced, not just default), no credential proxying, authenticated
310
- encryption, scope-based agent isolation, strict input validation, prototype pollution
311
- protection, and a full audit trail.
312
-
313
- It significantly reduces the attack surface compared to tools that bind to open ports
314
- or tunnel credentials through a server. The architecture makes network exposure,
315
- credential theft, command injection, and prototype pollution structurally impossible
316
- through the daemon's interfaces.
317
-
318
- The remaining attack surface -- AI agents acting within their own process permissions --
319
- is an industry-wide challenge that no orchestration tool fully solves today. Groove
320
- addresses it better than most through scope locks and the knock protocol, while being
321
- transparent about the boundary of its guarantees.
322
-
323
- All 12 areas audited: PASS.
