docs(security): add CWE-699 and OWASP agentic security research#771
Conversation
…ture Create comprehensive remediation plan for security agent detection gaps identified in PR #752 where agent missed CWE-22 and CWE-77 vulnerabilities. ## Planning Artifacts - security-agent-detection-gaps-remediation.md: 7-milestone implementation plan - security-agent-detection-gaps-remediation-SCRUBBED.md: TW-enhanced with WHY comments - security-agent-detection-gaps-remediation-critique.md: Critic review (PASS_WITH_CONCERNS) - security-agent-vulnerability-detection-gaps.md: Serena cross-session memory ## Key Changes **Shift-Left Architecture**: - M6: PSScriptAnalyzer + security agent in pre-commit hook (not CI) - Security report (SR-*.md) generated and committed before PR - CI validates SR-*.md present (detects hook bypass) **Immediate Feedback Loop**: - M4: False negatives trigger instant RCA (not monthly batch) - Dual memory: Forgetful (semantic) + Serena (project context) - PR blocked until agent updated and re-review passes **CWE-699 Integration**: - M1: Expand from 3 CWEs to 30+ across 11 categories - M2: PowerShell security checklist (25+ items, UNSAFE/SAFE examples) - M3: CVSS-based severity calibration with threat actor context **Implementation**: - 7 milestones, 62 hours estimated, 4-week timeline - All decisions have 2+ step reasoning chains - Testable acceptance criteria with verification commands ## Cross-References - Root Cause: .agents/analysis/security-agent-failure-rca.md - Evidence: PR #752, Issue #755, Issue #756 (Epic) - Framework: CWE-699 Software Development View ## Review Status - Technical Writer: WHY comments added, error handling gaps identified - Critic: PASS_WITH_CONCERNS (approved with optional enhancements) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Consolidated SCRUBBED document improvements into main plan: - M2: Added Technical Writer Guidance with WHY comments for vulnerability mechanisms - M4: Added error handling for API rate limits, malformed files, empty reviews, WhatIf mode - M6: Added error handling for PSScriptAnalyzer installation, crashes, empty file sets, agent unavailability, bypass approval Deleted SCRUBBED file - improvements now integrated and git history preserves original version. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes incorrect PowerShell splatting syntax for external commands:
- Line 375: Quote array elements: @("$PluginScript", "$Query", "$OutputFile")
- Line 376: Use $Args instead of @Args for external command
- Line 383: Update checklist to remove misleading splatting recommendation
PowerShell splatting (@Args) only works with cmdlets/functions, not
external executables like npx, node, python, etc.

Changes SummaryThis PR adds comprehensive security research documentation for enhancing the AI security agent with CWE-699 framework integration and OWASP Agentic Top 10 vulnerability patterns. Sessions 307-308 researched path traversal vulnerabilities, PowerShell-specific security patterns, and agentic AI application security threats, producing 469-line CWE analysis, 4200-word OWASP integration analysis, updated remediation plan, session logs, and project memories. Type: docs Components Affected: security-agent, analysis-artifacts, planning-documents, project-memory, session-logs Files Changed
Architecture Impact
Risk Areas: Documentation-only changes with no implementation yet - security gaps from PR #752 remain unaddressed until remediation plan executed, 17 new Forgetful memories (IDs 111-127) created with high importance ratings (6-10) may saturate semantic search if not properly tagged, Remediation plan spans 7 milestones with 38-47 hour estimate - implementation delay risk if milestones not executed, CWE coverage expansion from 3 to 30+ may overwhelm security agent prompt if not properly structured, PowerShell-specific patterns need validation against real codebase vulnerabilities to avoid false positives/negatives Suggestions

Pull request overview
This PR adds comprehensive security research documentation to support enhancement of the security agent's detection capabilities. The work addresses gaps identified when the security agent missed critical vulnerabilities (CWE-22 path traversal, CWE-77 command injection) in PR #752 that were caught by external review.
Key Changes:
- CWE-699 framework research (Session 307) mapping path traversal vulnerability hierarchies and PowerShell-specific patterns
- OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications integration (Session 308) covering AI agent-specific security risks
- Creation of 17 Forgetful memories and 3 Serena memories for cross-project knowledge sharing

Addresses PR review comments from @Copilot. - Fix OWASP document date: December 2026 → December 2025 - Replace "SCRUBBED" references with clearer language in critique document - "SCRUBBED" referred to earlier draft merged into main plan - Updated all line number references to point to examples in document Comment-IDs: 2659741161, 2659741163 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Inspired by https://gist.github.com/burkeholland/902b5833383d8e7384dc553de405d846 ## Key Patterns Integrated 1. **Resume Logic** - Continue from incomplete tasks without handing back control - Check TodoWrite for state, resume from exact step - Work until ALL actionable PRs complete or blocked 2. **Planning Before Action** - Create TodoWrite list BEFORE executing workflow - Prioritize PRs by number (ascending) - Estimate scope (threads, CI failures, conflicts) - Announce plan briefly before starting 3. **Todo List Discipline** - Track ALL PRs requiring attention - Mark status: pending, in_progress, completed - Track specific issues per PR - Update IMMEDIATELY when status changes - Provides visibility into autonomous operation 4. **Verification Rigor** (CRITICAL) - "Failing to verify ALL criteria is NUMBER ONE failure mode" - NEVER claim completion without executing EVERY verification - NEVER assume CI passes without Get-PRChecks.ps1 - NEVER assume zero threads without Get-UnresolvedReviewThreads.ps1 - Document verification results ## Example Workflow Discovery → TodoWrite (6 PRs) → Announce Plan → Work Sequentially → Verify Rigor → Repeat Example announcement: "Working through 6 PRs. Starting #764 (23 threads), then #765 (CI), #744 (CI), #566 (CI-review only), #771 (conflicts), #766 (conflicts). Sequential, no user input." ## Validation - Markdownlint: 0 errors - Pattern source: Beast Mode Dev chat mode - Integration: Resume logic + Todo discipline + Verification rigor 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
