security(plugin-audit): a filter over the stored activity text answers by row presence: the generic list door evaluates the predicate at rest, before #21081's read-time redaction, so a reader can probe a field value it is not served #21154
Description
Filing gate: ① a product defect with a measured reach:, under the possible-data-disclosure exception.
reach: measured on the public generic list door for sys_activity, on a real boot, by #21081's dev (os-dev-report on #21081, out_of_scope_findings[0]; readings in that dispatch's private scratch, read by this seat). Reader who acts: triage (grade and route; plugin-audit is domain:services), then that lane's seat. Filed by the domain:services seat 2 (#21118, session_01DiCSbmJrkzNhuEAier4VoJ). ⛔ Not a claim.
What was measured (by class)
- The caller: a reader of each of security(plugin-audit): an activity row composed at write time may carry a changed field's values to a reader who can read the parent record but not that field (unmeasured; measure first) #21081's three classes. That is a field served masked, a capability-gated field with no mask, and a field the reader's sets do not grant.
- The door: the generic list door on the activity stream, with a predicate over the stored activity text (the summary, the record label, or the recorded change).
- What it answers: row presence. A matching probe returns rows and a non-matching probe returns none. So the value the reader is not served can be probed one guess at a time.
- Before and after PR fix(plugin-audit): an activity row serves a parent field's value only to a reader the security service serves that field (#21081) #21152 (security(plugin-audit): an activity row composed at write time may carry a changed field's values to a reader who can read the parent record but not that field (unmeasured; measure first) #21081's read-time redaction): the same. The predicate is evaluated at rest, in the query, before any served row is redacted. The redaction removes the value from what is served, but the filter still selects on it.
- NOT MEASURED:
- a group or aggregate over the same columns (the same class by mechanism);
- the approval payload snapshot column on its own generic door. That is plausibly the same family: approvals:
listRequests' free-text filter pushespayload_json: { $contains: q }into the engine — a probe oracle over snapshot contents the caller may not read #11040 (closed) closed only that service door's free-text arm.
The position
packages/plugins/plugin-audit/src/activity-field-redaction.ts(from PR fix(plugin-audit): an activity row serves a parent field's value only to a reader the security service serves that field (#21081) #21152) redacts the rows afind/findOnereturns, afternext(). It does not see the query's predicate.packages/plugins/plugin-audit/src/activity-read-visibility.tsnarrows the rows by the parent record. It does not constrain which columns a predicate may name.
Direction (⛔ not a ruling; triage's call)
- One answer for the class: a non-system reader's predicate (and grouping) over a value-bearing activity column must not select on a value the reader is not served.
- Option A: refuse a predicate that names those columns, with the engine's refusal shape.
- Option B: evaluate it only over what the reader is served.
- ⛔ No second derivation of masking in
plugin-audit. - Pins: one per class, a matching and a non-matching probe answering the same, with the unmasking reader as the control. No pin title states a value.
Dedupe
mcp__github__search_issues, repo-scoped, open and closed, in the act that filed this card:
- 「filter predicate over masked or redacted field acts as an oracle, row presence reveals value, activity summary or approval snapshot column」: 7 hits.
- approvals:
listRequests' free-text filter pushespayload_json: { $contains: q }into the engine — a probe oracle over snapshot contents the caller may not read #11040 (closed) is the same class on the approvals service door's free-text filter: the precedent. - security(plugin-audit): an activity row composed at write time may carry a changed field's values to a reader who can read the parent record but not that field (unmeasured; measure first) #21081 (open) is the read-time redaction this card's predicate runs before.
- security(approvals): the approval snapshot redaction narrows by
getReadableFields, which counts a field the caller is served masked as readable, so such a field may reach an approver as stored rather than masked (source-read, not yet measured) #20964 (closed) is the approval snapshot redaction's masked arm. - security(analytics): a field the caller may only see masked is answered unmasked as a grouped or filtered member on the native-SQL strategy; the published field reader has no masked-for-this-caller answer #20935, security: the analytics ObjectQL execute face answers a row-level read scope it cannot run with
INVALID_FILTER/ 400 whose message echoes the policy's field name and comparands — the disclosure #5367 closed for the native / echo faces #19995, service-analytics: the NativeSQL execute face and the /analytics/sql echo bind a read-scope filter placeholder ({current_user_id}, an unknown {token}) as a literal string, where the ObjectQL face resolves it — one scope, different rows across faces #20075 and finding: the #7929 read-scope disclosure is NOT analytics-only — an RLS$fieldfilter injected by the security middleware discloses the same policy column on the ordinary CRUD path, and predates #7598 #7988 (closed) are analytics or read-scope disclosures by other mechanisms.
- approvals:
- None is a predicate over the activity text.
Dedupe words: activity text predicate oracle · filter over redacted column row presence · sys_activity summary contains probe · generic door predicate snapshot column

One engine read middleware per object refuses a filter, search, sort, grouping or aggregation naming such a column for a non-system reader unless the query pins one parent object by equality and the reader is served every field of it (served set read from the redactions' own serve seams, never re-derived), with the engine's PERMISSION_DENIED / 403 shape and words plus one remedy sentence; plugin-audit registers it with ONE call in AuditPlugin, plugin-approvals beside its snapshot redaction.

Measured first on a stock showcase boot: 86 registered objects (80 inside the CRUD mirror's scope), the seeded admin withheld nothing on any of them, so D keeps the stock admin's unpinned ledger/activity search and approval filter (403 before the fix, 200 after) and B was not built.

5933122330): Q1, a query naming no parent object is admitted for a reader withheld nothing on any object those rows can concern, and refused otherwise; Q2, the two guards' census anchors land here. Commitse8ca01c861(pins),0232077761(fix),8907accb83(census),d0e1c4d8ba(pin correction), merges89fc4580a2andee558beae2; pushed together after the ablation.\n\n### Q1 — a query naming no parent object\n\n- Rule. A query that pins one parent object keeps the round-0 rule. A query that pins none is judged against the declared set: every object registered in the engine, read from metadata and never from rows, so the set is the same whatever the query and whatever rows it would match (not the read gate's pre-scan). The pinned query's own per-object question (the redaction's served set asked as the caller, against the security service's read projection asked as the system) is asked of each object in turn; the first object that withholds a field refuses the query, in the same words as before. An engine that cannot list its objects refuses.\n- Why every registered object. The CRUD mirror is registered on every object but its own exclusion list, and that list has grown over time, so rows about an object it now skips can still be at rest; an approval snapshot can concern any object an approval process names. The set is the writers' reach and a superset of it, which can only refuse more.\n- Which fields count. Every field: a create or delete snapshot records the whole stored record, and rows written before the mirror began masking credential fields are still at rest. The per-object answer is the serve seam's own; masking is not derived a second time.\n- (D) before (B), measured first on a stock showcase boot with its seeded admin, before the fix: the engine registers 86 objects (80 inside the CRUD mirror's scope), and the admin is withheld no field on any of the 86. (D) keeps the admin's unpinned search, so (B) was not built. Before the fix, that admin's unpinned ledger search, activity search and approval-snapshot filter each answered 403.\n- Cost, same boot, after the fix, 20 requests per door after one warm-up: an unpinned query naming a value-bearing column adds 258 security-service calls (3 per registered object) for a reader withheld nothing; a restricted reader stops at the first object that withholds. In process the 258 calls take 4 ms cold and 2 ms warm. End to end per request: unpinned ledger search 75.5 ms, ledger list naming no such column 78.7 ms, pinned ledger filter 64.5 ms, unpinned activity search 107.6 ms, unpinned approval filter 77.5 ms; the admission sits inside request-to-request variation. A pinned query is unchanged (3 calls); a query naming no value-bearing column asks the guard nothing.\n\n### Pins, security order and ablation (prediction written before each run)\n\n| Step | Commit | Reading |\n|:--|:--|:--|\n| pins red: 7 admin/control pins (a reader served every field of every object filters and searches each member with no parent named, in the activity, ledger and approvals suites and for the dogfood fixture's platform admin over all three; andaudit-log-admin-search.dogfood.test.ts, the stock showcase admin's unpinned ledger list search and activity search, matching and not, and approval-snapshot filter) |e8ca01c861| audit 1 failed / 40 passed; ledger 1 / 27; approvals 1 / 19; dogfood fixture 1 / 21; showcase 3 / 0 — as predicted |\n| fix |0232077761| 41 / 28 / 20 passed, showcase 3 / 3; the dogfood fixture's admin pin stayed red (1 / 21): that admin was not granted the fixture's two capability sets, so it is withheld a field and the rule refused it correctly.

A probe-independent reach needs a new scan of every parent the table names, which is a third mechanism; it is raised as an open question in the report instead. The pinned rule is the fail-closed one, and widening it later is not a breaking change. It is the shape the approvals service door already took for its free-text arm (#11040): no authority, unchanged; authority wired, one known object or nothing.",
