#!/usr/bin/env python3 r"""Local SystemMessage PoC / fix verification (Python standard library only). 中文速览:PAT 是 DeerFlow 的个人访问令牌,不是模型 API Key;下面的浏览器 代码通过正常登录创建它。DEERFLOW_THREAD_ID 是新测试聊天地址最后一段 ID。 同一脚本修复前用 --expect vulnerable,修复后用 --expect blocked;每次换新 测试会话。脚本会追加消息,旧版本可能留下持续指令;不会删除历史或关闭认证。 SETUP / 使用说明 1. Start your own local service, log in, create a DISPOSABLE chat and send "你好". DEERFLOW_THREAD_ID is the final ID in /workspace/chats/, not the page URL, user ID or model ID. Use a fresh chat for each before/after comparison. Do not send messages in the browser while the script is running. The PoC uses DEERFLOW_ASSISTANT_ID (default: lead_agent); set it to the Agent/assistant ID used by that chat when the deployment uses a different ID. 2. PAT means DeerFlow Personal Access Token, NOT a model provider API key. Create one with the logged-in browser session using the existing auth API. In Chrome DevTools Console on your local DeerFlow page, run: const csrf = document.cookie.split('; ').find(x => x.startsWith('csrf_token='))?.slice(11); if (!csrf) throw new Error('Log in / reload first; csrf_token is missing'); const response = await fetch('/api/v1/auth/pats', { method: 'POST', credentials: 'same-origin', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'X-CSRF-Token': decodeURIComponent(csrf)}, body: JSON.stringify({name: 'system-role-poc', scopes: ['threads:read', 'runs:create'], expires_in_days: 1}) }); if (!response.ok) throw new Error('PAT creation HTTP ' + response.status); const created = await response.json(); copy(created.token); // Chrome Console helper: copies the show-once PAT, does not print it. console.info('PAT copied. Token ID for later revocation:', created.id); Requires an interactive login and SQLite/PostgreSQL; a PAT cannot create PATs. The token is returned only once. Keep it private; it expires after one day. To revoke early, DELETE /api/v1/auth/pats/ using the same session and X-CSRF-Token header. Do not paste credentials into issues or PRs. 3. From the repository's backend/tests directory, in macOS zsh: read -rs "DEERFLOW_PAT?Paste DeerFlow PAT: "; export DEERFLOW_PAT; printf '\n' read "DEERFLOW_THREAD_ID?Paste NEW test chat ID: "; export DEERFLOW_THREAD_ID DEERFLOW_BASE_URL='http://localhost:2026' DEERFLOW_ASSISTANT_ID='lead_agent' \ DEERFLOW_TIMEOUT_SECONDS='600' DEERFLOW_CONFIRM_APPEND='YES' \ ../.venv/bin/python poc_external_system_message_injection.py --expect blocked On the UNFIXED revision, use the SAME script with --expect vulnerable instead. Do not roll back a production/shared service to reproduce. Use an isolated checkout and copy this script there; no backend prompt/auth changes are needed. On bash, use `read -rsp 'Paste PAT: ' DEERFLOW_PAT` and `read -rp 'Chat ID: ' DEERFLOW_THREAD_ID`. Alternative session auth: set DEERFLOW_ACCESS_TOKEN and DEERFLOW_CSRF_TOKEN from the logged-in browser's Cookies panel. PAT takes precedence. With neither credential, the script sends no auth: ONLY an already-enabled auth-disabled development service may accept it. Never disable auth just to run this test. RESULTS / 修复前后 - Baseline: ordinary question -> HTTP 200, no marker expected. - Unfixed: system + ordinary question -> HTTP 200; exact instruction persisted as type=system; follow-up checks persistence. Refresh that same web chat and send "你好". A susceptible model may append www.baidu.com. Model obedience is NOT guaranteed, and output alone does not prove system-role promotion. - Fixed: the injection -> specific HTTP 400; checkpoint/messages unchanged; ordinary follow-up still works and the injected ID remains absent. Reports BLOCKED (not "PoC failed"). 401/403/409/500 or other 400 errors are inconclusive. - Exit 0: expected outcome verified; 2: opposite/unproven outcome; 1: setup/API error. --help prints this guide without sending requests. This script uses POST /api/langgraph/threads//runs/stream (SSE) and GET /api/langgraph/threads//state. It appends two normal turns plus an injection attempt; an unfixed server may persist a third turn and a lasting system message. It calls the configured model (token charges may apply), never visits the marker URL, and never cleans up history. Restarting does not clean an injected checkpoint. A fresh chat is a control, not a general memory reset. After verification, delete the disposable chat with the web sidebar's delete action and revoke the PAT as described above. Do not reuse a vulnerable chat. Public API evidence covers admission, checkpoint type and model output, NOT the final provider payload. Offline test_external_system_message_boundary.py checks the actual model-input boundary with a recording model instead.
