Summary
Harden input handling in src/common/pcp.cpp (flagged by multi_agent_ai).
Vulnerability
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| ID | V-002 |
| Severity | HIGH |
| Scanner | multi_agent_ai |
| Rule | V-002 |
| File | src/common/pcp.cpp:380 |
| Assessment | Defensive hardening |
Description: Buffer allocation uses addition (PCP_HDR_SIZE + PCP_MAP_SIZE) without overflow checking. While currently using compile-time constants, this pattern is risky if code is refactored to use dynamic sizes. Offset calculations for writing data also lack bounds validation.
Threat Model Context
This is a local CLI tool - exploitation requires the attacker to control command-line arguments or input files.
Changes
src/common/pcp.cpp
Behavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path; it only tightens handling of untrusted input and leaves valid inputs unaffected.
This patch removes an exploit primitive — a code pattern that, while not independently exploitable today, could be chained with other weaknesses by automated exploit-development tooling. Proactive removal of such primitives raises the bar against increasingly capable automated attack tools.
