From 689ca087fd1f8bf55ab333a17cdd99819ba56cd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: BigSimmo <87357024+BigSimmo@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 23:11:04 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(rag): close prompt-neutralizer bypass for cross-document titles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit docs/rag-injection-threat-model.md (Vectors B/C) flagged that a document title/file_name is a viable injection channel and must never reach the model raw. buildRagSourceBlock's per-result titles are already neutralized, but two cross-document synthesis helpers built their own prompt text directly from document titles without going through neutralizeIdentityField: - buildCrossDocumentSourceGuide (src/lib/cross-document-synthesis.ts) — the per-document title in the "Cross-document synthesis guide:" block. - buildCrossDocumentFusionBrief (same file) — the per-document title in the "Fast fused source brief:" block. - summarizeDocument (src/lib/rag.ts) — document.title interpolated raw into the "Document:" header of the single-document summary prompt, the highest- trust position in that prompt. All three now route through the same neutralizeIdentityField primitive already covered by tests/rag-injection.test.ts. New regression tests added to tests/cross-document-synthesis.test.ts proving an injection idiom carried in a title no longer survives into the generated guide/brief text.
