From 6f77b1013a7bfb5ee77e51701104c74ec13e517e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gus Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 20:07:20 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] security: scan content in overlapping windows instead of truncating at 4000 chars The ML classifiers (TestSavantAI and DeBERTa) only scanned the first 4000 characters of page content. An injection payload placed after 4000 chars of benign content was invisible to both classifiers. Fix: scan in overlapping windows of 4000 chars with 1000-char overlap, take the maximum confidence across all windows. A 12K-char page now produces 3 windows instead of silently dropping 8K of unscanned content. Also raises the Haiku transcript classifier's tool_output cap from 4000 to 8000 chars (~2K Haiku tokens, ~$0.001 extra per scan) so the LLM classifier sees more context. --- browse/src/security-classifier.ts | 71 ++++++++++++++++--------- browse/test/security-classifier.test.ts | 50 +++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 96 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/browse/src/security-classifier.ts b/browse/src/security-classifier.ts index c470fdf91a..419ed31cec 100644 --- a/browse/src/security-classifier.ts +++ b/browse/src/security-classifier.ts @@ -237,6 +237,19 @@ export function loadTestsavant(onProgress?: (msg: string) => void): Promise { return { layer: 'testsavant_content', confidence: 0, meta: { degraded: true } }; } try { - // Normalize to plain text first — the classifier is trained on natural - // language, not HTML markup.
