Phase 1: Security & Permissions Hardening

Milestone: #66

Tasks

  • Block task tool in subagent sessions (cascade prevention)
  • Update orchestrator permissions: task deny-by-default for all subagents
  • Bash auto-approve -> ask by default
  • Restrict bash allowlist to safe commands (git, cat, ls, grep)
  • Add permission prompt for editing .kilo/* and kilo.jsonc
  • Normalize paths to prevent directory traversal
  • Propagate MCP restrictions across subagent chains

Files to Modify

  • .kilo/rules/orchestrator-self-evolution.md
  • .kilo/rules/global.md
  • .kilo/rules/docker.md
  • kilo.jsonc (permission blocks)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Subagent cannot invoke task
  • Bash only allows whitelisted commands without ask
  • Config edits require explicit prompt
  • No directory traversal possible via apply_patch

Status: planned
Next Phase: Phase 2

  • kilo.jsonc: orchestrator and release-manager bash changed allow -> ask
  • New .kilo/rules/subagent-security.md with cascade prevention rules
  • .kilo/rules/global.md: Added Security & Permissions section (subagent cascade, bash hardening, config protection)
  • .kilo/rules/docker.md: Added Bash Allowlist and Container Cleanup sections
  • .kilo/agents/orchestrator.md: Added Security Enforcement block
  • .kilo/rules/release-manager.md: Added Security Hardening section

Files Modified

  • kilo.jsonc
