From 23a67f72544c8f52a75f228b121e717f7b6ed6d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: amoussa1229 <166072409+amoussa1229@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 19:08:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: add fail-closed validation gate and XML-delimited prompt on ai_fallback path The ai_fallback parse path applied no validation gate to raw Bedrock/LLM output before DynamoDB writes, and the extraction prompt concatenated the untrusted email body directly with no instructions-vs-data delimiter. A DKIM-passing attacker could prompt-inject arbitrary field values into the work-order store. Changes: - wrap untrusted email in \ XML block with prompt instructing the model to treat its contents as data only - add validate_ai_fallback() in template_parser that enforces the same contract keys, enums, and patterns as the template path before any write - call validate_ai_fallback() in handler() dispatch; emit an ai_fallback_rejected EMF metric on failure and skip the record - add 17 unit tests covering every gate rule and two end-to-end dispatch tests (injected email_type, injected status) Refs #101 --- lambdas/wo/email_processor/handler.py | 35 ++++- lambdas/wo/email_processor/template_parser.py | 39 ++++++ .../tests/test_bedrock_fallback.py | 60 +++++++++ .../tests/test_validation_gate.py | 122 ++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 252 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/lambdas/wo/email_processor/handler.py b/lambdas/wo/email_processor/handler.py index d133dc6..742b301 100644 --- a/lambdas/wo/email_processor/handler.py +++ b/lambdas/wo/email_processor/handler.py @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ from email.utils import parsedate_to_datetime import boto3 from ses_auth import authenticate_inbound_email -from template_parser import try_deterministic_parse +from template_parser import try_deterministic_parse, validate_ai_fallback logger = logging.getLogger() logger.setLevel(logging.INFO) @@ -42,7 +42,10 @@ EXTRACTION_PROMPT = """\ You are an email parser for a facilities maintenance work order system.
